Bro With the Flow

So we began The Great Gatsby in English a little while ago. I finished it ahead of time, because as soon as I opened it, I couldn't put it down. It was beautiful literature in a way I had never before experienced, and the way the story and characters are grounded in reality makes the story all the more intriguing.

Anywho, we were discussing the cultural and social themes in the book, and the relationship between characters of the same gender. This is how the "Bro Code" came about:

The Bro Code is the unspoken rules that the men follow in The Great Gatsby.

1. No one tells Daisy about Tom's mistress even though he flaunts her in public (she does know, but that's not the point).

2. Class stratifications are adhered to strictly.

3. The men control the wealth and resources.

4. The men just go with it, and try not to speculate on bad things that disturb their lives of meaningless pleasure.

5. The men treat the women as their objects and less than men. Personally I thought bros before hoes would be better, but we had to keep it school appropriate (Pssh. School appropriate is overrated).

Meanwhile, in present day English class:

I believe this is a "Bro with the Flow" appropriate situation.

Obviously we're being incredibly productive students.
