Extra Credit

Okay, so I intended to give you extra credit for researching and explaining allusions in The Hollowmen, however, someone beat us to it!  When I looked up the poem to provide a link to an  electronic copy for folks who lost theirs, I found an annotated version.  Check it out!  It answers every question you never had about the poem :)  More importantly though, I think that by reading the annotations, it becomes clear that while the specific references do not pertain to Gatsby, the theme of the empty modern man ties the two texts together.

That said, there is another extra credit opportunity listed on the blog that no one has jumped on yet-- will you be the first one from your reading group to find it?
