I noticed the mention of a green light. I'm wondering what it could be. Maybe a sign of money because he was staring at it, maybe pondering it, and green is usually the color of money and wealth. Nick said, "I glanced seaward- and distinguished nothing except a single green light..."

When Daisy opens up to Nick about how she really feels about her marriage, it is important because Nick previously thought she was happy and well off. But that is not the case (Fitzgerald 21).

# data[].attributes.body
I'd like to know more about Tom and Daisy's relationship. From what I've read it seems like Tom is no longer invested in the marriage considering he "has a women in NY" but that's only an assumption. I don't think they know that for sure. What makes me question their relationship is that Tom didn't show up for their daughter's birth.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder what's going to happen between Nick and Jordan as the story progresses.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that the author uses complex words like "plagiaristic" and "quivering" and uses imagery when describing the setting (Fitzgerald 6).

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder why Nick, when introducing us, the reader, to the setting why he focuses so much on the geographic location of the story. (Fitzgerald 9)

# data[].attributes.body
I'd like to know why Tom and Daisy wanted Nick to take a romantic interest in Jordan (Fitzgerald 23).

# data[].attributes.body
I'm surprised that there was such a cheap, crappy house, right next to Gatsby's house, which the narrator was able to purchase.
(Fitzgerald 10)

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised that a character, Tom, enjoyed such a racist book. "The Rise of the Colored Empires."

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder why Tom and Daisy are trying to get Nick to have some interest in Miss Baker. ( Fitzgerald 23)

# data[].attributes.body
I think the relationship between Nick Carraway and Daisy Buchanan is interesting because even though they are cousins, they seem distant in a way. As I was reading, I noticed that they seemed more like strangers than like family

# data[].attributes.body
I don't understand why someone would tell Nick about Tom's affair when Tom is still home and when they just met Nick. (Fitzgerald 19)

# data[].attributes.body
I felt uncomfortable knowing that Tom is having an affair although he is married to Daisy. (Fitzgerald 22)

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that Nick has an interest in Gatsby by the way he describes him. "Gatsby who represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn. Of personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him. (Fitzgerald 6).

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if Carraway's service in "the Great War" has had any lasting emotional/psychological effects on him ( Fitzgerald 7).

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed how Nick thinks highly of himself by saying he is highly moral and highly tolerant but he learned these things from his father (Fitzgerald 5).

# data[].attributes.body
I’d like to know why there was such a cheap house next to Gatsby's house. (Fitzgerald 10)

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that the character Gatsby is very mysterious and everyone is curious about him especially Nick Carraway (Fitzgerald 25).

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder why Tom is very dominant and forceful towards all of the other characters.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m surprised that when Tom Buchanan and Nick were at Buchanan’s house, Tom made the comment of “I’ve got a nice place here” (Fitzgerald 12). It shows that he is a braggy and proud person of the things he owns.

# data[].attributes.body
I am surprised on how Miss Baker told Caraway about Tom's affair. Pg. 19

# data[].attributes.body
Nick explains everything in his point of view. I think it is interesting that Jordan tell's him about her husband's affair because it isn't normal for someone to talk about something like that when they first meet someone.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed the way Nick spoke seemed more upperclass. I feel like the author chose to use (Give him(Nick)) words more on the complex side. Words like "responsiveness" and "impressionability" on pg 6

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that both Nick and Tom think so highly of themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that there was a lot of imagery in chapter 1. I'm pretty sure the author did this to set the tone of the story.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm surprised on the word choice that the narrator uses to describe certain things in the book, for example "The interior was unprosperous and bare" (Fitzgerald 29).

# data[].attributes.body
I'm surprised that he openly flirted with Mrs. Wilson when her husband was only a few feet away (Fitzgerald 30). Who?

# data[].attributes.body
I don't understand why Myrtle married her husband in the first place if she didn't have feelings for him or wasn't crazy about him
(Fitzgerald 39).

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Tom purposefully hurt Daisy in Chapter one since he also broke Myrtle's nose out of anger. (Fitzgerald 41)

# data[].attributes.body
I’m surprised that Tom flirted with Wilson's wife. (Fitzgerald 30)

# data[].attributes.body
I'd like to know why Mrs. Wilson is still with Mr. Wilson even though she is Catholic as stated by Catherine "She's a Catholic and they don't believe in divorce." I am wondering this because she is clearly miserable with Mr. Wilson (Fitzgerald 38).

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Tom may have felt scared of a possible outcome of Mrs. Wilson’s shouting.  He has been confident and fearless throughout the book so far, but I believe that Tom breaking her nose after shouting Daisy’s name showed a sign of weakness and anxiety.  He wanted to feel in control so he physically harmed her (Fitzgerald 41).

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that George Wilson seemed totally oblivious to the fact that Myrtle is cheating with Tom and not only is Tom cheating, he's boasting and flaunting it (Fitzgerald 30)

# data[].attributes.body
I realized that back in chapter 1, Daisy was foreshadowing Tom's abusive behavior (Fitzgerald 16). Then in chapter 2, Tom punches Myrtle (Fitzgerald 41).

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised when Tom broke Myrtle's nose when she kept saying Daisy's name and didn't stop saying it (Fitzgerald 41).

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder why Tom broke Myrtles nose because hitting a girl is wrong (Fitzgerald 41).

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to know why Nick refers to Doctor T.J Eckleburg  several times. What is the symbol? (Fitzgerald 27).

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder why Mrs. Wilson tolerated Tom's flirtyness (Fitzgerald 32)

# data[].attributes.body
If I were Tom I wouldn't have punched Myrtle. I don't understand how he could do that to her! Even if you get really angry that is no excuse to punch someone over something so little. I think this shows a lot about Tom's personality as a person.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that Daisy spoke about her finger being bruised and I believe it foreshadowed the breaking of Myrtle's nose.
(Fitzgerald 41)

# data[].attributes.body
I think Tom is an abusive person to his wife and mistress. Tom bruised Daisy's finger (Fitzgerald 16) and then he punched his mistress, Myrtle, and broke her nose (Fitzgerald 41).

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised when there was talk of Tom and Myrtle getting married and moving elsewhere. Catherine seemed to support it as well (Fitzgerald 38).

# data[].attributes.body
If I were Nick, I would have felt awkward when Catherine was saying Myrtle and Tom should each get divorced and be together (Fitzgerald 37).

# data[].attributes.body
I'd like to know why Myrtle married George if she didn't even care for or love him. (Fitzgerald 39)

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not sure why Nick talked so much on T.J. Eckleburgs Eyes, maybe it is foreshadowing something later on. (Fitzgerald 27)

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder how George Wilson hasn't already put the pieces together about Tom and Myrtle, since she leaves every time Tom shows up. (Fitzgerald 30)

# data[].attributes.body
If I were in the room when Tom slapped Mrs. Wilson I would see Toms real character and I would be worried to be around him (Fitzgerald 41).

# data[].attributes.body
I am surprised that Mrs. Wilson and  her husband are married because they do not truly love each other (Fitzgerald 30)

# data[].attributes.body
One consequence of Tom's affair with Mrs.Wilson could be her husband finding out and end up doing something bad to Tom or even his wife. (page 30)

# data[].attributes.body
If I were Mrs. Wilson, I would leave Tom Buchanan because “he broke her nose with his open hand” (Fitzgerald 41). A man should never lay hands on a woman, what so ever.

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised and shocked when Tom was flirting with Georges wife, It was unexpected and odd. Especially because it was right in front of Toms wife. (Fitzgerald 30)

Be sure your responses follow proper MLA format. Spell check and proofread for clarity. No more run on sentences! Also, add some explanation as to why you feel as you do. The directions say, "...well thought out discussion question...."

I noticed Gatsby keeps getting called away by "cities" for business, and the rumor he killed someone leads me to believe his business is illegal (Fitzgerald 58).

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder why Daisy is still with Tom because it seems to me that she knows about his other woman in New York (Fitzgerald 19)

# data[].attributes.body
I am surprised that no one gave a reaction when Tom broke Mrs. Wilson's nose because everyone saw it happen and it's not a normal or civilized thing to do (Fitzgerald 41)

# data[].attributes.body
I'm surprised that Gatsby would remember Nick from the war, seeing as Nick was in the "9th Machine-Gun Battalion," and Gatsby was in the "Seventh Infantry," meaning that they would not have served together (Fitzgerald 53). check format

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder what Gatsby does to be called so often. Very time people look for Gatsby he is always going to take a phone call or in a phone call. (Fitzgerald 53) check format

# data[].attributes.body
I don't understand why Gatsby is getting call so much at this party.

# data[].attributes.body
I am surprised how Gatsby just lets random people into his house. Nick is one of the few people that are actually invited. Most people did not even meet Gatsby. They just went to say they have been to the party (Fitzgerald 45).
