What is the irony of Gatsby’s funeral?
The irony of Gatsby's funeral is the point of people not attending the funeral. The irony is how people showed up to the parties he would host, but when it comes to their compassion towards the man himself, their is no one to be there for him.

Chapter 9 question 5- Nobody showed up for his funeral. They will show up for his parties, but not his funeral.

Chapter 8 question 1
The reasons i am to believe Gatsby is doing this is because 1. Gatsby cleared up accusations about him so things wont end up being taken out of context and 2. Hes more comfortable around Nick having known him for awhile vs when he had just met him and wasn't 100% sure on his character.

# data[].attributes.body
The irony about Gatsby's funeral is that nobody showed up to his funeral but hundreds would show up to his lavish parties

Gatsby's father learned of the tragedy because it was in the Chicago newspaper. I think he knew his sons personality and that he was a good man overall, but I don't think he knew how he got his money. It was mentioned that Gatsby met up with his dad I think 2 years before he died and that they talked, so his dad had a photo of the house he was living in.

# data[].attributes.body
The irony in Gatsby's funeral is nobody came to it, not even Daisy. His loyalty to people didn't matter, he died alone.

# data[].attributes.body
We learn that Gatsby loved Daisy superficially, Daisy dealt with Gatsby leaving for war and Gatsby tried to get her back but instead went to oxford.

Chapter 9 Question 5
No body showed up to Gatsby's funeral even though he hosted most of the eventful things like the partys.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the way Nick used the word "Holocaust" to describe the deaths of the people around him was his way of saying innocent people had been killed and wrongly accused for actions that were made by other people. I believe he also used this term to describe the event because it was almost as if all the people around Nick were slowly being taken away, leaving him feeling more and more lonely.

His father Learned of the tragedy from the newspaper. His father isn’t aware f much at all n his sons life and doesn’t choose to be aware of where is son got his wealth. While still taking some sort of pride in his sons possessions.

Chapter 8, question 2- Gatsby took what he could of Daisy because he couldn't have her hand in marriage.

Tom has pulled him down from all of the horrible accusations, and because of that Gatsby has no reason to hide who he is since he sees Daisy slipping away from him

# data[].attributes.body
Nick compliments Gatsby, stating "You're worth the whole 🤬 bunch put together", (154). He feels condemned to compliment him because he knew that Gatsby was starting to realize that Daisy didn't care about him as much as he thought, since she didn't even care enough to call him after the accident.

# data[].attributes.body
"You're worth a whole 🤬 bunch." Nick feels he urge to tell him this because Gatsby didn't give up on his dream of getting Daisy back even though he had to watch his dream slip away.

# data[].attributes.body
Chapter 8 Question 3
As Nick leaves Gatsby the morning after the accident, he remarks, “They’re a rotten crowd.” Enumerate the people “they” refers to. Why are they “rotten”?
Nick is telling Gatsby through this message that he is an amazing person. Nick is referring "they" to the elite class., which is the highest. They are rotten because they seem to care most if not all about themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
When Nick states this, he's taking account of how Gatsby acquired his money was corruptible. His money is "half" of his dream while Daisy is his other "half". However, Daisy cannot be corrupted, therefore there is balance.

# data[].attributes.body
The irony was he through many parties with a lot of people there but no one came to his funeral.

question 2
Further information about Gatsby is that before he left for the war. Daisy promised to wait for him but she didnt and married Tom.

Wilson views the eyes on the billboard as the eyes of God. We know this because he explains that he showed his wife the billboard and said that God is watching everything. I think his statement does have symbolic meaning for the novel as a whole because when Nick passes the eyes on the billboard it was always described as someone watching him.

# data[].attributes.body
question #6 : Wilson views the "eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg" as God's eyes. I believe that Wilson's statement to his wife of how God is always watching shows us that Wilson might have known about his wife's affair for a while just didn't say anything. I think that this statement is symbolic of the whole book because there are multiple affairs and each spouse on some level or another knows about them.

Nick thinks of them as kind of heartless since they refused to come to gatsbys funeral, and also moved away with no forwarding address

# data[].attributes.body
We learned that Gatsby didn't truly love Daisy. And that Daisy promised to wait for him to come back from war but she didn't and married Tom instead.

# data[].attributes.body
We learned that Gatsby loved daisy "superficially". Then that Daisy moved on from Gatsby by marrying Tom. After the war he tried to get her back; however he went to Oxford instead.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Nick means when he says Gatsby balances his corruption v. his incorruptible dream, he is talking about how Gatsby got all of his money illegally. But also that he dreamed of daisy and that dream couldn't be touched/"corrupted".

# data[].attributes.body
Chapter 9, question 1
Daisy and Tom Left so nick feels obligated to invite Gatsby. Gatsby was only cared for because of his wealth and Nick was the only one who was his genuine friend.
Chapter 8, question 3
He's talking about tom and Daisy. Tom doesn't want nick to have daisy and daisy doesn't care as long as she is rich. They are rotten because they are shallow and only care for themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
The irony of Gatsby's funeral is that no one chose to show up.  Gatsby threw many lavish parties as a way to socialize and especially see daisy, but when it is a funeral for a man who created these fun experiences for many, they still chose to not attend.

# data[].attributes.body
Chapter 8 Question 2
Gatsby likes daisy and not Tom he is wealthy.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea of who he was trying to be had been shattered and now we see who he really is on the inside. Gatsby is no longer hiding because he now realizes daisy is slipping away from him.
