Homework Questions for Monday

Section A (b)

How far do you agree with the view that The Great Gatsby is a novel that is concerned with the concepts of emptiness and fulfilment in human experience?

This is a discursive piece so you need to be able to construct an argument. You are being assessed on:

A01 - your ability to formulate an argument and write coherently;
A03 - your ability to engage with different interpretations of the question and text;
A04 - your ability to explore how the context of the novel affects its production and reception.

You will only have 30 minutes to answer this type of question in your exam so try to write, insofar as you can, within that time limit.
