As you know, The Great Gatsby (and especially chapter 7) is full of drama!
We also, of course, only see Nick's perspective of what happens.
Choose a section (or scene) from chapters 5 through 7 to re-tell through another character's perspective. (ex. through Daisy, Tom, Jordan, George or Jordan's eyes...or even someone else's...)
This retelling should be true to what happened in the text, but reveal some thing new through the new narrator's thoughts.

Period 1: Gatsby Chapters 1-4 (Character Passage Analysis)
From chapters 1-4, select a passage that focuses on / reveals something about one of the novel's major characters (Nick, Gatsby, Tom, Daisy, Jordan or Myrtle). This passage can be narration, dialogue, whatever (but it must have something interesting to analyze / discuss).
Type and cite the passage, and then analyze the heck out of it with a focus on what it indicates / reveals about the character you've chosen. Look not only at the passage as a whole, but also at its details (phrasing / word choices).
Be sure to sign your name and not to repeat a passage that has already been analyzed.

PERIOD 1: The Scarlet Letter ch. 1-8 passage & analysis
For this post, I'd like you to select a passage from chapters 1-8 that you find particularly interesting and/or important. Think especially about passages that connect with character development.
Begin the post with the passage and citation
Then analyze the heck out of it!
Things to consider (you don't need to answer all of these questions...just stuff to get you thinking):
What is its overall meaning? What's the significance of some of the words/phrases within the passage? Is there anything symbolic? Anything stylistically interesting? What does it reveal about plot, conflict, characters? Is there any possible symbolism? Any connections with things that have already happened?
Do NOT analyze a passage that has already been done! Feel free, though, to respond to any of your peers' ideas.
Remember to sign your name.
