code hero...

What does it mean to be a code hero? Write your definition and see what your classmates have to say about it. These ideas will help you write your paper. Please make sure not to look at your handout to write this. I want this entry to be in YOUR OWN WORDS!!! It is important for me to see if you really understand what a code hero is before you write your essay.

Thanks... and happy BLOGGING. Mrs. A.

Myrtle--Tom's girlfriend...think about what she wears--the colors--as opposed to what Fitzgerald dressed Daisy in---significance???
