Mr. Potratz passed out a booklet for students to take notes in, recording "significant details" in The Great Gatsby to help in tracing some of the book's intricate patterns.

As an example, we recorded certain phrases referring to 'East' and 'West' in the book's opening pages which we read on Monday.

We also talked about what is meant by "significant details" and about questions of symbolism in lierary works.
