Students link characters in the novel to photos in an all-feline casting. Explores the novel in a different way.Only a starter but fun. SEE ALSO Of Mice and DOGS. See also HAMlet, Pinks of Denmark for an all pig casting.Matt Posner: It's a powerpoint with pictures of cats and instructions to match the cats to characters in The Great Gatsby for an imaginary all-cat version of that novel. It's like a feline Terror of Tiny Town. And the resource provider has made two others as noted above.
