Here's the story, I have my last final tomorrow which is English AP. But, I have a 58% which is a F. I am only 2% away from a D and 12% away from a C. So I need to ace this final.
We got the prompt for the essay early and I really don't know what to write, so if you have ideas or something I would apreciate it alot. The prompt has to with "The Great Gatsby"
"Does Fitgerald support or criticize the american dream? Use evidence from pages 169-170 or 189"

I remember reading it a couple of years ago...I know that he critizes the american dream big time. There's only 3 pages of examples to choose from...it's gotta be pretty evident and simple to demonstrate.

sounds likea good book. . .
technically by the looks of it, its one big ass CRICLE w. problems inside the circle. . and they're rich w. their fancy cars and love affairs.

EDIT:and for your paper. there is no right answer, just explain that, Fitgerald was explaining people who live the "american dream" have problems too, and those problems make-up the American dream. .

I'm pretty sure this kid is a troll or just plain retarded. AP classes usually wont allow you if you have a low grade and there is no way someone who gets a D in AP would of had an A in regular English which is what is usually required.

Not to mention AP English reading a book even remedial english classes read? And the Final is the easiest question ever? Makes no sense.

Oh and as many have stated, yes it shows the flaws. But Fitzgerald himself acted exactly as his book portrayed, he partied hard and spent a lot of his cash frivolously. So don't go making your final about how he was such a good guy and nothing like his book. Although on the other hand go ahead, you're already failing the class.

I did real good on the final actually. The reason I asked was cause I didn't have a chance to read the book cause I've been busy with other shit. Thanks though.
