Literary Reflections: Sunday June 6th

If you could bring one character from any one book that we have read this year with you when you go to college, who would bring? Why?

This character could be your roommate (or suite-mate or housemate or whomever), a future classmate, a friend on campus, a professor, TA, grad student, or any other person you might regularly see on campus.

In a thoughtful blog entry, explain clearly who you would choose, what role he/she might take, and why you want to bring this particular character. Be sure to include specific evidence from the character, the book/novel, or other relevant sources.

This blog entry is due at 11:59:59 pm on Monday June 14. For honors students, this counts as an honors blog.

If I had to choose one character from a book we've read this year, I would have to choose Gatsby. I believe I could learn a lot on how business works and I also believe our personalities would mesh quite well. He would simply be a friend on campus, maybe a roommate, and we would share an economics class together.
