So we beat on, boats against the current . . .

We finished with The Great Gatsby today in my American Literature II class. Mostly it was me talking, but many students weighed in with ideas, so that was a good thing. I like that we were able to make connections between that and "Rosicky," Huck Finn, and "Big 2-H River," for example. I love the ending and read it aloud to the class. Even the post office loves Gatsby.
