Auden & Gatsby: assignments for next week

Dear class,

Because of a project outside school you won't have class this Wednesday.
I expect you to have prepared the following for Thursday and Friday:

Thursday 16 May, 1st
Study Auden's poems "Foxtrot from a Play" and "O Tell Me the Truth About Love".
What can you say about their context?

Friday 17 May, 2nd

The film release of "The Great Gatsby" generates a lot of media attention for both film and novel.
- Read two articles listed here and prepare notes to explain how they are related to film and/or novel.

- Select two reviews of the film from the websites of newspapers and/or magazines: one positive,  
  one negative. What is their main point, on what do they disagree?

Let me know if you have any questions.
