Students were given a lecture on the origins of the American dream and it's current state.  They then examined some passages from "The Great Gatsby," Ftizgerald's critique of the American dream, and how and why Fitzgerald was skeptical of this concept. The grammar concept of sentence transitions was discussed and a student presented on a song cultural artifact, "Bittersweet Symphony," and discussed how this song reflects the current "rat-race" mentality common to our modern western culture.
