    students’ street smarts greatly surpass their book smarts. I believe that instructors can strengthen students’ book smarts by encouraging them to write‚ read‚ think‚ and learn about personal areas of interest. They can accomplish this by taking students on field trips so they actively experience what their learning in the class room‚ and use these “street smarts” to build a stronger foundation of what their trying to teach.

In the book it seemed very much so that Jordan Baker and Nick were a thing‚ after their tea date it describes Nick and Jordan having a moment where they kiss. The fact that nick doesn’t get home until two in the morning

    Even considering the complicated format of the book‚ David Fincher managed to almost perfectly illustrate the novel Fight Club‚ by Chuck Palahniuk‚ in his movie of the same name. Although tempting to compare a book and its film counterpart on even grounds‚ as a substitute of one another‚ the tools used to create each one differ greatly and thus should be evaluated on a thematic level.
