Weeee

"He told me he reads the book every year. Why do you think someone would do that? "

Well, I agree with Joanna. There are a lot of elements to a novel that a reader can't just pick up on in one read through. We mentioned the motif of eyes in class, if Marci didn't mention that I may or may not have picked up on it on my own. Also, from these observations, questions arise such as why would Fitzgerald choose to use eyes as a reoccurring theme? Reading a story more than once really is an example of being an interested and active reader because it'll lead you to learning more about the story and the author.
