Final Freewrite Gatsby
Final Freewrite Gatsby
Allison Finn
Azar Nafisi tells Mr. Farzan, her student, that his simplification of Daisy
as a symbol is not even the point. Carefully consider Nafisis claim
about the experience of the novel and her rejection of Mr. Farzans
reading of Daisy and Gatsbys relationship. Then, using specific details
from the text, support, refute or qualify Nafisis claim. Remember to
consider knowledge and skill here: first you have to narrow down
Nafisis claim, second you have to consider all the details of the
noveland so on, and so on. You get the point.
