Daisy

Daughter had an English project to do recently, about The Great Gatsby.  She had a choice of projects and not surprisingly opted to make drawings of the characters in appropriate period attire rather than write an essay.  Well, she still had to write five 600-word descriptions to go along with her artwork so that still counts as an 'essay' in my book!

I didn't get to see all of her work, but she did share this one on Facebook, so behold.
Daisy.




Here's the text from the wiki link above ... click the link for more details.


“The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald that follows a cast of characters living in the fictional town of West Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922. The story primarily concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion and obsession for the beautiful former debutante Daisy Buchanan. Considered to be Fitzgerald's magnum opus, The Great Gatsby explores themes of decadence, idealism, resistance to change, social upheaval, and excess, creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream.”
