The Great Gatsby

People went to Gatsby's parties because they were known for being extravagant and luxurious, with free-flowing drinks and entertainment. Additionally, attending these parties allowed guests to mingle with influential and wealthy individuals from high society.

Myrtle is dissatisfied with her husband George Wilson in "The Great Gatsby." She is having an affair with Tom Buchanan, whom she sees as more wealthy and attractive. Myrtle feels trapped in her marriage and seeks excitement and a higher social status.

The specific description helps create a vivid image in the reader's mind and enhances the eerie and unsettling atmosphere of the story. It also adds to the sense of mystery and intrigue surrounding the pit.

She receives a letter from Gatsby, and she is drunk. She orders to have the string of pearls returned to its owner, who is Tom Buchanan. She says that she changes her mind about marrying Tom. She refuses to let go of Gatsby's letter even when she entered the tub. Until it started to break into little pieces did she let Jordan set the paper in a soap bowl. The next morning, she seemed fine and she wore the pearl necklace around her neck and married Tom Buchanan.

Fitzgerald uses Gatsby's return to Louisville to show his enduring love for Daisy and his willingness to fight for her, even in the face of societal norms and obstacles. This moment highlights Gatsby's unwavering dedication to Daisy and sets the stage for the themes of love, longing, and the pursuit of the American Dream throughout the novel.

The eyes of T.J.Ecklenburg are basically an advertisement for an optician (presumably from the place, its old and run down and someone just hasn't bothered to move it away). They are a pair of glasses on an old billboard sign in the Valley of Ashes which appear to look over everything in the valley.

If your studying this book (or even reading for pleasure I suppose) then it may be useful to know that Fitzgerald was trying to write in a cinematic style (Nick's narration at the beginning is a voice-over style piece also) so the site of the eyes looking over a valley would look fantastic in cinema. He also tries to highlight "new things" of the Jazz-Age culture - one of which is billboards and huge advertisements.

If you're interested take a look at the films (and seeing the new one thats about to come out would be suggestable) fromthe past it should have a nice shot for you to look at.

Daisy says Tom is revolting because she is repulsed by his behavior, attitudes, and treatment of others, particularly his infidelity and oppressive nature. She sees him as morally repugnant and lacking in integrity, which causes her to find him disgusting.

Gatsby will never be accepted by Daisy and Tom because he comes from a different social background and doesn't have the same wealth and status as they do. They are also unable to see past his criminal activities and perceive him as an outsider who will never fit into their elite circle. Additionally, Daisy is too entrenched in her own world and obligations to break away from her marriage and embrace Gatsby fully.

P 6. - "Only Gatsby, the man who…not likely I shall ever find again." Nick admires Gatsby even though he "represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn." Gatsby's capacity for hope that makes Nick's paradoxical admiration possible

The witness to Myrtle's accident was Mr. Weasley. He saw the Ford Anglia flying above the Muggle village and then swooping down near the Whomping Willow, where Myrtle was hit.

Klipspringers are mainly concerned with preserving their territory against intruders, finding sufficient food and water sources, and avoiding predators. They are highly territorial and use scent marking to defend their area, particularly during the breeding season.

After Nick and Gatsby cross the bridge, they encounter a group of workmen and a chauffeur waiting outside Tom Buchanan's mansion. These travelers serve as a contrast to the opulent lifestyle of the Buchanans and highlight the divide between the wealthy elite and the working class in the novel "The Great Gatsby."

Gatsby reveals to Nick that he comes from a wealthy family in the Midwest, but that he lost his family fortune and had to start from scratch. He also tells Nick that he served in the military during World War I and attended Oxford after the war.

No, Nick was the only person who attended Gatsby's funeral in "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Daisy did not come to the funeral, showing her lack of real connection or commitment to Gatsby.

"The Great Gatsby" reflects the rebellious and law-breaking society of the Roaring Twenties through its portrayal of characters engaging in illegal activities such as bootlegging and extravagant parties fueled by prohibition-era excess. The novel highlights the moral decay and corruption that pervaded society during this time, where individuals pursued wealth and status at any cost, often leading to tragic consequences. Fitzgerald's work serves as a critique of the era's reckless pursuit of pleasure and the consequences of living without moral boundaries.

Miss Baker's first name is Jordan.

Myrtle Wilson is a character in The Great Gatsby who is married to George Wilson, the owner of a garage. She has an affair with Tom Buchanan, a wealthy man from East Egg. Myrtle represents the lower class and the destructive influence of wealth and materialism on people's lives in the novel.

The line "There is no confusion like the confusion of a simple mind" is not found in "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It is possible that it is from another source or a paraphrase of a similar concept.

Tom Buchanan is selling his car to Mr. Wilson. This transaction serves as a point of tension in the novel, as it becomes clear that Tom is taking advantage of Wilson's trust and financial situation to make a profit.

Both Celie in "The Color Purple" and Daisy in "The Great Gatsby" are complex female characters who face struggles in their relationships with men. They both navigate themes of love, power, and independence within the societal constraints of their time periods.

The wild parties at Gatsby's mansion and his excessive spending are examples. The references to prohibition and bathtub gin are indicative of the period. The references to World War I could be considered an example of the events/conditions that gave rise to the roaring twenties.

Daisy was living in Louisville when she met Gatsby. She was a debutante from a wealthy family, and Gatsby, a young military officer at the time, was stationed nearby. They fell in love, but their relationship faced challenges due to social expectations and Gatsby's lack of wealth and social status.

Nick's description of Tom in "The Great Gatsby" reveals his feelings of disdain and disapproval towards Tom. The tone is often critical and judgmental, highlighting Tom's arrogance, insensitivity, and sense of entitlement. This negative portrayal reflects Nick's moral code and values, emphasizing his perspective on Tom as a morally corrupt and shallow character.

I presume that this is regarding the second party, when Tom and Daisy attended. In the first party he was no more awkward than normal and appeared to enjoy himself.

In the second party, however, it is important to remember that Daisy is now having an affair with Gatsby, and has invited her husband to a party given by Gatsby, as such, this is a difficult situation and because Nick knows this, and feel self conscious, the evening is understandably awkward.
