Examples Of Rationale For The Great Gatsby
IB English Language and Literature SL: Written Task on the Great Gatsby
Seungchan Yang
Rationale:
For part four of my English course, I studied the novel ‘The Great Gatsby’ by Fitzgerald. It not only depicted the hideous manners originated from the sudden prosperity during the 1920s in America but also Gatsby’s pure love or more precisely the obsession towards Daisy, which cruelly led to a rather miserable ending.
I decided to write a set of short letter formats from Gatsby to Daisy, which eventually was not sent to her.

I will be waiting for your call until the very last second of my life and I hope my dream of my life don’t just end up like this - like it was an impossible dream in the first
