Topic: How does "The Great Gatsby" address women in our culture? How does it address Class and Race? Are rich "White" people better? How much/little do you think American Culture has changed since this book was published nearly 100 years ago?
Response: At the time when the book was published, Women were still considered property. As for Class and Race, the Richest individuals are depicted as uppity white people who live in grand estates and trample those who they consider "lesser." In the book, Rich "White" People are shown as these high class 'I'm better than all of you!' residents in this fancy-ass neighborhood in fancy-ass New York City, and American culture hasn't changed the slightest in 100 years.
Basically posts about this random kid in this random farming town in the middle of coastal California telling the whole world what's going on in his Third Period Class.
