For Day 4 According to Matthew Bruccoli, "Literary miracles are the work of writers who come closer than other writers to expressing what is in their minds through innate genius augmented by control, technique, craft." Fitzgerald's craft and technique often become evident in the sentences he constructs. He can paint pictures and explore complexities by putting words together in new, provocative ways. For Friday's class, you need to pick one especially effective sentence from the novel, one that leads you to see a character or incident in a distinct way or that presents an idea in a way you've never imagined before. Be prepared to read your sentence to the class and to explain why you chose it.
