Dav Public School chapter 3 Great Gatsby Discussion 1) The first three pages of Chapter 3 (pages 39-41) describe the general
feel of Gatsby’s parties. Read the description again, and explain how
Nick uses devices like SIMILE, IMAGERY, and DICTION (which is
specific word choice) to show how grand and elegant these parties are.
2) When Nick meets Gatsby for the first time (on Page 48), he describes
how Gatsby smiles at him in a long paragraph that begins with “He
smiled understandingly…” and ends with “Sometime before he
introduced himself I’d got a strong impression that he was picking his
words with care.” Using Nick’s own words, explain the power of Gatsby’s
smile. What effect does it have on Nick? What point is he trying to get
across?
3) On page 55, Gatsby is standing on the porch as Nick leaves the party
and the automobile wreck that is causing commotion. Nick says, “The
caterwauling horns had reached a crescendo and I turned away and cut
across the lawn toward home. I glanced back once. A wafer of a moon
was shining over Gatsby’s house, making the night fine as before, and
surviving the laughter and the sound of his still glowing garden. A
sudden emptiness seemed to flow now from the windows and the great
doors, endowing with complete isolation the figure of the host, who
stood on the porch, his hand up in a formal gesture of farewell.” Look at
the words Fitzgerald uses. How does this scene show a contrast
between the crazy honking of horns in the yard and the figure of Gatsby
on his porch? Make sure to clearly explain what this contrast is.4. Explain how the way the author orders his ideas in “The Perils of

6. In “An Indian Father’s Plea,” Medicine Grizzlybear Lake argues that
his son, Wind Wolf, is not “a slow learner.” Describe how Lake supports
his argument and explain how he successfully builds this argument
using effective examples. Be sure to discuss at least three effective
examples that support his argument. Use specific details from the text
within your essay. Organize your essay using: an introduction paragraph
that lays out your argument, body paragraphs that develop your thesis,
and a conclusion paragraph that wraps up your argument.
