Exploring Dreams, Identity, and Society Through Gatsby

Help me give my students 25 copies of The Great Gatsby. With these copies, each student will be able to explore the themes of ambition, love, and the American Dream while participating in class discussions and creative projects.

My Project

This project will provide each of my students with a personal copy of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. This classic novel allows students to explore important themes like the American Dream, class inequality, and identity. With a book in every hand, my students will be able to annotate, discuss, and reflect — making reading active and personal.

Having their own copy of The Great Gatsby empowers them to read confidently, participate fully, and build a deeper connection to literature.

Your support will ensure that all of my students can experience this powerful text — together, equally.
