SHORT ESSAYS<\/h3>\n

Before we leave The Great Gatsby<\/em>, there are a few more elements of the novel that deserve consideration. Select one topic from each area and compose a short essay response. Your answers should have a clear thesis, incorporate specific details or quotations from the novel for support, and be no less than 300 words each.<\/p>\n

      Theme:<\/p>\n
