THE GREAT GATSBY 07-21

What happened at dinner ? 


What's Tom's Problems? 



Are these people happy? 


Personalities
Nick: non judgmental(phew) has morals(more detail is given in the first few pages refer; easy to confide in)
Toms: Daisy's Husband; full of himself ; cocky
Miss Baker: full of herself; self abosorebed
Daisy: married to Tom; never in the moment, always on to something else, always looking in the future or in the past; self absorbed 
 ( ^These traits seem to be pattern.They all seem to be judgemental as well, *excludes Nick of course)
Some Observations:

  • The description in the book about somethn=ing that would seem like a simple breeze and about pretty much everything that is happening. Everything that the author descibes is done in a way that makes us almost believe we were there while it was happening. So many relatable similies and metaphors. 
  • Page 11: Gatsy is mentioned even though the narrator is curious. The mention of Gatsby is dismissed. 
  • The Narrators name is Nick, not stated in a direct form but more when people are speaking to him directly and call him by his name. It's never said my name is "Nick" by the narrator. 
  • Toms having an affair(this is said, not so much of an observation)
  • Peremtally: before the action(Used when:Nick got cut off by Daisy before he could reply)
  • First Mention and image of Gatsby

VERY IMPORTANT
"Im glad it's a girl. And hope she'll be a fool-that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool." -Daisy Buchanan
Involuntarily i glanced seaward- and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away
