Essay on the Great Gatsby. 3 pages, single spaced. Should have at least 3 quotes from the book and the quotes should not be in the intro or conclusion.

Is hope the reason that “Gatsby turned out alright at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams . . .”?(2)
