1. Reinventing yourself

2. In chapter 2, Myrtle Wilson seems to become a whole new person after she changes her dress.

3. They were at the party in the apartment where everyone was drinking. "Mrs. Wilson had changed her costume some time before, and was now attired in an elaborate afternoon dress of cream-colored chiffon, which gave out a continual rustle as she swept about the room. With the influence of the dress her personality had also undergone a change."

4. This quote shows the theme because all Myrtle Wilson did was change into a new dress and drink a little bit, and she became a whole different person. She was more outgoing and talkative, unlike her usual self.

5. There are sides to people we don't initially see, or never expect. For example Mrs.Wilson was acting like a completely different person around her husband, for instance when she left town and was around Tom.

1. Betrayal

2. Tom and Mrytle are both cheating on their wife's/husband's.

3.

Doctor Eckleburg spots that Tom and Nick are up to no good, which is betryal because going to do something wrong is betrayal, "“Terrible place, isn’t it,” said Tom, exchanging a frown with Doctor Eckleburg.

“Awful.”

“It does her good to get away.”

“Doesn’t her husband object?”

“Wilson? He thinks she goes to see her sister in New York. He’s so dumb he doesn’t know he’s alive.”"

Catherine is uspet and angry when she found out that TOm and her sister Mrytle both cheated in their husband's/wife's,"She looked at Myrtle and then at Tom. “What I say is, why go on living with them if they can’t stand them? If I was them I’d get a divorce and get married to each other right away.”

“Doesn’t she like Wilson either?”

The answer to this was unexpected. It came from Myrtle, who had overheard the question, and it was violent and obscene.

“You see,” cried Catherine triumphantly. She lowered her voice again. “It’s really his wife that’s keeping them apart. She’s a Catholic, and they don’t believe in divorce.”"
4. These two quotes show that they relate to betrayal by people knew that others are doing something wrong.5. The author writes about people cheating on on their boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife because he wants others to be aware on what its like when someone cheated on another.

1. Color

2. Richer and more vibrant tones vs. dull and boring.

3. When Tom and Nick arrive at the Valley of Ashes, which is a less wealthier part of New York, Fitzgerald describes the environment, "But above the gray land and the spasms of bleak dust which drift endlessly over it"

During the party in the New York apartment, Fitzgerald describes the setting with, "The late afternoon sky bloomed in the window for a moment like the blue honey of the Mediterranean."

4. These two quotes show the motif of color because we can see that in poorer areas, Fitzgerald describes the surroundings with duller and more neutral colors, while in more affluent areas, the scene is associated with brighter and more vibrant tones.

5. The motif of color is used to show how the socio-economic status of the area is directly correlated to the colors that are being described.

“Can’t stand them.” She looked at Myrtle and then at Tom. “What I say is, why go on living with them if they can’t stand them? If I was them I’d get a divorce and get married to each other right away.”It appears that tom uses the cover of daisy being catholic to cover his betrayal of daisy and myrtle uses it to explain toms action and why she hasn't divorced wilson yet.

4) This quote shows the theme of betrayal because it explains there justification of their betrayal of their partners.

5)The author may be conveying the attitude of people during this time peroid and how betrayal of their partners isn't really frowned upon, which might be placed in the story because of the infidelity of his own wive and to maybe make sense of the cheating she has down

1. RELIGION

2. In Chapter 2, there seems to be a distinction made about Catholicism.

3. At the party, Catherine, Myrtle's sister, tells Nick that Myrtle and Tom cannot get married because Daisy is Catholic and divorce is forbidden. “You see,” cried Catherine triumphantly. She lowered her voice again. “It’s really his wife that’s keeping them apart. She’s a Catholic, and they don’t believe in divorce.”

Daisy was not a Catholic, and I was a little shocked at the elaborateness of the lie."

4. Catherine isn't familiar enough with religion to speak authoritatively about it. It's like name dropping - she knows of it but doesn't know it.

5. It's ironic that religion is thrown around like a a badge or morality. Why would Tom take care to protect Daisy's catholicism in not divorcing but would flagrantly violate religion and morals in having an affair? Seems to suggest appearances are valued over reality.
