Who is Responsible?
You will be determining who was responsible for Gatsby’s death. Create a circle graph in which you assign the person(s) listed the percentage of responsibility you believe they should bear for Gatsby’s death. Remember, all percentages must add up to one hundred. You must use at least six people/groups or colors listed in your graph. This assignment is worth 20 points: one point for each person(s) in your graph and two points for your explanation of each group. Use the colors listed below for each section of your graph and assign a percentage that designates the amount of responsibility for each person(s). Then provide the written explanation on the back or on a separate piece of paper, not in the graph itself. Your explanation must be at least two sentences and demonstrate accurate textual knowledge of the book to receive full points. Remember this is not a court case. It is about assigning blame, not about finding one person guilty. If you take this assignment too literally, you will not receive full credit.
