=Introduction= It is very important to know that events in history affect the world around us, including the literature we read. America's Next Top Model's contest will show that the events and culture of the 1920's effected the way the characters of The Great Gatsby act. We will see how the time period affect the reactions, ways of dress and events that occur in The Great Gatsby.

=Task= The hit television show America's Next Top Novel has created a contest asking high school students to make a creative version of a scene from The Great Gatsby and present it using iMovie. The judges of America's Next Top Novel have been caught on camera saying they would love to see a version of the Great Gatsby placed in a different time period in U.S. history; the judges also say they are making their first stop in Portland Maine. You and a group of friends, who are fans of America's Next Top Novel, decide you want to win the contest by creating your own iMovie. The three top judges are also allowing viewers to come to the movie showing and will have the audience decide which movie is the best. The top movie chosen in each city, including Portland, will be sent to Hollywood for a big Hollywood premier.

=Conclusion= World War One and the roaring 20's effected the characters of The Great Gatsby. The time periods in which chracters are placed can affect the beliefs, conflicts and lives of the characters. Therefore, we can see if we change the time period from which stories are placed, we can change the stories totally.
