Chapter 4: Gatsby's Rumors

Chapter 4: Gatsby's Stories

Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire, or, Honest Abe? You decide.

Directions

In Chapter 4, as they're traveling to lunch, Gatsby offers Nick a variety of information about his background. As he listens, Nick goes back and forth between doubt and belief.

You will be looking at the stories Gatsby tells Nick. The pages from which the excerpts are taken are provided on the slides, if you need additional context.

Using textual evidence, you will rate both NICK'S BELIEF of Gatsby's story as well as YOUR OWN. Please answer using complete sentences. 1-2 sentences, including snippets of textual evidence, will suffice.
