To prepare for my son's next American Lit. assignment, I have utilized the following resources. All resources are borrowed from the library.
1. SparkNotes-The character analysis and quotation explanations were helpful. The three pages of "key facts" was concise.
2. Cliffnotes-An extensive biography about Fitzgerald is included. At the end of each chapter summary & commentary, words are defined in a mini glossary.
3. Understanding The Great Gatsby by Dalton Gross & MaryJean Gross-I read the first chapter about what makes The Great Gatsby great. This book would be useful for someone who is interested about the context of the novel.
4. The Literature Book-Big Ideas Simply Explained-very comprehensive but concise. A good overview of the theme, plot, context, and character relationships.
