Really nice job with you notes! I love how you have questions in your notes that weren't all brought up or discussed in class. Instead of acting like the class scribe of the discussion you really made sure that even if you didn't get a chance to ask your question or say what you were thinking you made sure you put it down with page numbers and arrows so you remembered how you got there. The only thing that confuses me is the colors. I can't figure out if you were doing some type of color scheme or if you just were using different pens. Overall great job!!!!!
I really like how you formatted your notes. I like the boxes you put around the important topics and how you put the question of why is Gatsby so great, which is what our entire class discussion today was about, at the top of the page so it's clear and stands out. Like Julia, I was confused about the colors but I still kinda like them because it makes your notes not come across so boring like they would in all black ink.
I found it really interesting that you focused so much on Gatsby while the majority of my notes were focused on Nick, Tom, and Daisy. I really like your detailed notes and how you interpreted/said that the whole idea of the Valley of Ashes was the complete opposite of the American Dream, because I hadn't really thought about that too much. I also like how you put boxes and stars near the important parts, and put other important parts in all caps. Good job Meghan!
Going off of what Julia and Jacob had said about the colors, I liked them. For me it made the notes easier to read because it seemed you would change the color once you started to talk about a new topic or idea. Something that I found interesting was how in class you said that you were interested in Gatsby and then your notes really highlighted him instead of the other characters, like Madi had said.
I really liked the organization of these notes. Instead of just writing down the main points of the class discussion, you made sections for each topic and made arrows to display your thought process. The arrows made this much easier to comprehend and understand what you were trying to say. I liked that you wrote down your questions even though some of them weren't asked in class. Lastly, I liked that you included quotes from the previous chapter and connected them to your ideas about this chapter. This made it so that you showed us ideas of the story as a whole, not just the individual chapter. Really well written!
p.s.- You wrote "Myrtle's nerves are smoldering--> Ironic because smoldering means still burning even though they are in a valley of ashes". Something that I noticed/realized when I read this was that smoldering ashes rise into the sky. This made me ask myself, "Is Myrtle rising out of the valley of ashes???"
The way you formatted your notes was very organized. I really liked how there were the arrows between your thoughts, showing how they related to one another. I also liked how you put the page numbers (on the first page of notes) because it was clear were you got those ideas from and it would be much easier to trace back to them in the future.
In response to Ryan's question I think that Myrtle is rising out of the valley of ashes but she still isn't leaving. If I am going to use your metaphor literally, she could rise up from the ashes but she would still be hovering above everyone else's misfortunate lives. She is suspended above everyone else but that doesn't make her leave were she came from. Additionally, if Myrtle was to leave, she couldn't completely be herself because she would bring her history of failure with her to wherever she went.
Your notes look very easy to follow and understand. I like how you color coded certain ideas that connect with eachother or share a common theme. That will make it very easy to go back and look in your notes and clearly see what you were thinking. You also boxed in themes and drew arrows to supporting ideas. That will also make it easy to understand your notes in the long run. Like other's I think that arrows are a very helpful tool to organize your notes and show connections.
