Through The Great Gatsby, we will explore the concept of the American Dream and how the influences of the 1920’s—including jazz music—still impact our lives today. In today’s world of ever-growing economic disparity, the book will allow us to reflect how wealth and the pursuit of happiness are interpreted in our Vermont community, which includes multi-generational families and new residents.
