I really need help on writing a setting essay on the great gatsby. I've basically been taught nothing by the teacher and really do not understand anything about the great gatsby. We have not discussed any quotes, characterisation, symbolism or theme. The question is:
choose a novel in which the writers setting in time and/or place is significant. Give relevant details of setting and discuss fully why it has such significance.
I genuinely do not have a clue what to include in this as we have barely been taught anything about the novel. The teacher said we need to link in other aspects of the novel to the setting eg theme, symbolism and character. Can someone help me with a plan on this essay.
