What did you pay more attention to as you read?

When we read The Great Gatsby in my junior English class, we followed the symbols throughout the book. When reading it a second time, I found that I noticed the symbols every time they came up. Furthermore, knowing the plot of the book allowed me to pay more attention to the language, since I didn’t have to focus as much on every detail. 

Why did you choose this book to read again?

I chose to read The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald again for a variety of reasons. The main reason was because it was by far my favorite book that I’ve read in a high school English class. Some of the books we’ve read (no offense Mrs. Smith) have practically been painful to read. These books fall in to the category of reading them because you have to but not being able to enjoy them. With The Great Gatsby I actually enjoyed the book even though it was required.
