Period 3A: The Great Gatsby Chapter 7 by Donna Camarota https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq Quotes and Insights en-us 2023-01-05 16:50:47 UTC 2023-01-31 03:31:37 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f303.png Aftermath of the Accident (chapter 7) magr8563 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2438190342 In chapter 7 Nick asks, "Was Daisy driving?"(Fitzgerald, 7). Gatsby replies, "Yes," he said after a moment, "but of course, I'll say I was." (Fitzgerald, 7). I chose this quote to demonstrate the aftermath of the accident. This quote came from the conversation between Nick and Gatsby while Gatsby was waiting outside of Daisy's house to make sure she was safe. After the death of Myrtle from the accident, Gatsby is willing to take the blame if it comes to it. Gatsby shocks me in this scene because even after Daisy expresses her love for Tom, and after he meets their kid, he still has this caring obsession for her. ]]> 2023-01-09 17:51:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2438190342 Nick asked "Was Daisy driving?" Gatsby then replies "Yes," he said after a moment, "but of course I'll say I was. ( Fitzgerald 7 ) I picked this quote because it told us who hit Myrtle . This quote also shows how much Gatsby cares about Daisy and it also shows how he would take up for her for anything. ceas8374 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2438198618 2023-01-09 17:56:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2438198618 "He won't touch her," I (Nick) said. "He's not even thinking about her." "I don't trust him, old sport." (Gatsby) "How long are you going to wait?" (Nick) "All night if necessary. Anyhow till they all go to bed." (Fitzgerald 7) This is one of the important quotes after the aftermath of the accident because this shows that Gatsby wants Daisy to be safe even though Tom doesn't know it was her behind the wheel. He is going out of his way to make sure that she is safe and that nothing is going to happen to her. ande8325 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2438511526 2023-01-09 22:14:46 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2438511526 "...and I knew that except for the half-hour she'd been alone with Gatsby she wasn't having a good time...," said Nick (Fitzgerald 6). This quotes that Daisy feels bored and isn't enjoying her time at the party without being with Gatsby. Even though she came with Tom she isn't enjoying her time with him because she misses Gatsby and wants to be around him more. This shows that even though Daisy is still with Tom she still has a deep love for Gatsby and wants to be with him for the night. ande8325 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2438525961 2023-01-09 22:36:31 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2438525961 "Daisy and Gatsby danced. I remember being surprised by his graceful, conservative fox-trot—I had never seen him dance before," says Nick (Fitzgerald 6). This quote is basically saying that since Nick has never seen Gatsby dance it's almost positive that no one else has ever seen him dance with someone before. So for him to dance with Daisy in front of people shows that he genuinely cares and loves her and would love to show her off if she was his. ande8325 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2438529934 2023-01-09 22:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2438529934 "Gatsby started to speak, changed his mind, but not before Tom wheeled and faced him expectantly," says Nick (Fitzgerald 7). This quote shows that Gatsby wanted to somewhat start a conversation with Tom but he probably also didn't want to cause any conflict between them. When Tom saw that Gatsby wanted to say something he probably wanted to come off as intimidating because he feels like he's better because he came from old money and not new money. One of my favorite quotes from the argument scene is "He looked at me keenly, realizing that Jordan and I must have known all along." I like this quote because it's what causes Tom to get upset but not lash out at anyone yet and he had just found out that his wife is having an affair with someone. ande8325 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2438535697 2023-01-09 22:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2438535697 Chapter 7: New York Apartment hall8624 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2438695868 Tom and Gatsby said in chapter 7, "Daisy loved me when she married me and she loves me now." "No," said Gatsby, shaking his head. "She does, though. The trouble is that sometimes she gets foolish ideas in her head and doesn't know what she's doing." He nodded sagely. "And what's more, I love Daisy too" (Tom & Gatsby 249-251). I picked this quote from the book because this was a very interesting part of the book. Both Tom and Gatsby believe they are right in this argument because they both believe Daisy loves them both. Also, they seem to believe that they both are going to be chosen by Daisy and that she loves one of them, even though she loves them both.  ]]> 2023-01-10 03:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2438695868 Chapter 7: The Accident hall8624 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2438702522 Nick and Gatsby said in chapter 7, "Well, I tried to swing the wheel—" He broke off, and suddenly I guessed at the truth. "Was Daisy driving?" "Yes," he said after a moment, "but of course I'll say I was" (Nick & Gatsby 396). I picked this quote because this quote was the most shocking to me. The reason it was that even though Daisy hadn't picked him (Gatsby) over Tom and he still decided to take the blame for her. ]]> 2023-01-10 03:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2438702522 Chapter 6: Gatsby hall8624 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2438718269 Nick says in chapter 6 " His heart beat faster and faster as Daisy's white face came up to his own. He... ". Then he kissed her. At his lips' touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete" (Nick 134). This quote from the book shows his overall feeling for Daisy, he seems very passionate when it comes to Daisy. He also seems to be in love with Daisy very much so, that he thinks of her in an unrealistic way.

After all, in the very casualness of Gatsby's party there were romantic possibilities totally absent from her world. What was it up there in the song that seemed to be calling her back inside?" (Nick 116). I chose this quote because it seems the song that she hummed at the party may have something to do with Gatsby. This song seemed to have some meaning, but also this party that Gatsby threw didn't seem to interest her. ]]> 2023-01-10 03:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2438732593 Gatsby's feelings for Daisy (chapter 6) magr8563 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2439337192 Nick says, "Afterward he kept looking at the child with surprise. I don't think he had ever really believed in its existence before." (Fitzgerald, 6). This quote demonstrates Gatsby's feelings when he first saw Daisy and Tom's child. Before this scene, Gatsby has never seen Daisy's child, and in the quote Nick says how he denied the child's existence. Gatsby was shocked in this moment because of the realization that Tom and Daisy have a family that came into reality. Suddenly Gatsby's feelings for Daisy became more complicated.]]> 2023-01-10 13:57:24 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2439337192 My Favorite Quote (chapter 7) magr8563 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2439374562 My favorite quote from chapter 7 is during the argument Daisy confesses about the love she was experiencing. In chapter 7, Daisy says, "I never loved him," she said, with perceptible reluctance." (Fitzgerald 7). This quote sent Tom into denial. He starts questioning Daisy about times when love was present. Tom questions, "Not that day I carried you down from the Punch Bowl to keep your shoes dry?" (Fitzgerald 7). Daisy became quiet, overwhelmed by the two of them fighting over her love. Daisy finally comes to an agreement with herself and says, "I did love him once—but I loved you too." (Fitzgerald 7). Gatsby is sent into shock after hearing that Daisy loves him too.]]> 2023-01-10 14:19:31 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2439374562 Daisy's opinions on Gatsby magr8563 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2440157766 Daisy says, "At least they're more interesting than the people we know," she said with an effort." (Fitzgerald, 6). The context of this quote was when Daisy, Nick, and Tom were talking about who Gatsby really is. Tom believed that he was just "some big bootlegger", whose wealth is all new money. Tom was getting to the point that Gatsby is just a waste of a person, but Daisy showed her point of view of Gatsby.]]> 2023-01-11 01:11:38 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2440157766 Tom asks, "What happened—that's what I want to know!" Police officer responds, "Auto hit her. Ins'antly killed." Tom repeated, "Instantly killed." (Fitzgerald 335-337) I picked this quote because it tells us what caused Myrtle's death and I thought it was a very understandable part for this section. Tom wanted to know how this situation happened since the incident was a part of Myrtle being killed. In the quote, that is what the police told Tom after Myrtle died. rive8677 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2441039410 2023-01-11 15:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2441039410 Tom argues, "I can't speak about what happened five years ago, because I didn't know Daisy then—and I'll be damned if I see how you got within a mile of her unless you brought the groceries to the back door. But all the rest of that's a God Damned lie. Daisy loved me when she married me and she loves me now" (Fitzgerald 249). I chose this quote because it really lets me know about the times before Tom met Daisy. I learned a fact from this quote which was that Gatsby and Daisy have known each other for 5+ years. rive8677 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2441217557 2023-01-11 17:53:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2441217557 Nick says, "James Gatz—that was really, or at least legally, his name. He had changed it at the age of seventeen and at the specific moment that witnessed the beginning of his career—when he saw Dan Cody's yacht drop anchor over the most insidious flat on Lake Superior. It was James Gatz who had been loafing along the beach that afternoon in a torn green jersey and a pair of canvas pants, but it was already Jay Gatsby who borrowed a row-boat, pulled out to the Tuolomee and informed Cody that a wind might catch him and break him up in half an hour," (Fitzgerald 6). I chose the whole sixth paragraph of Chapter 6 because it tells us the real backstory of Gatsby. It told us his legal name, James Gatz, and how he got to where he worked with Don Cody, his boss when he worked for him. rive8677 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2441603271 2023-01-12 00:56:48 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2441603271 Nick says, "Her glance left me and sought the lighted top of the steps where "Three o'Clock in the Morning," a neat, sad little waltz of that year, was drifting out the open door. After all, in the very casualness of Gatsby's party there were romantic possibilities totally absent from her world" (Fitzgerald 116). I picked this quote because it feels like it describes Daisy's feelings after the party. Knowing what the words are in the quote, you can tell that it looked like Daisy did not have a good time while at Gatsby's party. rive8677 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2441616395 2023-01-12 01:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2441616395 Chapter 7: The accident rodr8689 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2443773890 Wilson says, "You don't have to tell me what kind of car it was! I know what kind of car it was!"(Fitzgerald 7) I chose this quote because wilson is angry and so called "knows" who killed his wife. He believes that it was Tom since he visited wilson in gatsby's yellow car. This looks bad on Tom because he is a lead suspect in Wilson's eyes. Later then Tom explains to wilson that he was not driving the car. Even though wilson was going to leave his wife, he still loves her and feels heartbroken that this happened in front of his eyes. ]]> 2023-01-13 16:12:39 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2443773890 Gatsby says, "Can't repeat the past?" he cried incredulously. "Why of course you can!" (Fitzgerald 6). mill8584 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2443815007 Gatsby is sure that he can bring back the bond he and Daisy had way back when. He is somewhat delusional in thinking this because Daisy is married and has a child. He thinks that he can swoop Daisy off her feet enough to leave Tom, and he is sure of it.]]> 2023-01-13 16:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2443815007 Nick says, "At his lips' touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete" (Fitzgerald 6).. mill8584 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2443821289 You can tell by the text that Daisy loved Gatsby when they kissed. Gatsby regained a lot of hope with this, and it gave him the confidence to confront Tom later in the story. Daisy is not sure what she wants because she loves both Gatsby and Tom, or so she says. However, it looks like she loves Gatsby a lot more.

]]> 2023-01-13 16:52:04 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2443821289 Daisy said, "Even alone I can't say I never loved Tom," she admitted in a pitiful voice. "It wouldn't be true." (Fitzgerald 7). mill8584 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2443829433 Daisy decides to admit her true feelings about Tom. Daisy is conflicted because she loves both Tom and Gatsby, or at least she did at one point. Both Tom and Gatsby believe they are the right ones here, but neither is correct according to this quote. Daisy has to make a big decision soon, and it seems like she will keep things as they are.]]> 2023-01-13 16:59:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2443829433 Gatsby says, "Daisy stepped on it. I tried to make her stop, but she couldn't so I pulled on the emergency brake. Then she fell over into my lap and I drove on¨ (Fitzgerald 7). mill8584 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2443836191 This quote is extremely shocking. Gatsby obviously cares for Daisy, maybe even a little bit too much. Gatsby tried to stop Daisy, but when she didn't want to stop he complied and kept going. He even took the blame for her after the fact. Even after all that happened he still loves her very much.

There was an unmistakable air of natural intimacy about the picture, and anybody would have said that they were conspiring together." trin8754 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2443845465 This quote shows Nick's perspective of squabble between Gatsby and Tom for Daisy. He is troubled by the hostility and tension between the two men and the underlying issues in their confrontation, such as Gatsby's past relationship with Daisy being a major source of embarrassment for Gatsby. Nick finds himself feeling sorry for Gatsby, and is disappointed in the way that Tom and Daisy treated him. ]]> 2023-01-13 17:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2443845465 defo8393 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2450488290 For over a year he had been beating his way along the south shore of Lake Superior as a clam digger and a salmon fisher or in any other capacity that brought him food and bed. His brown, hardening body lived naturally through the half fierce, half lazy work of the bracing days. He knew women early and since they spoiled him he became contemptuous of them, of young virgins because they were ignorant, of the others because they were hysterical about things which in his overwhelming self-absorption he took for granted. (chapter 6 line 8 fitzgerad) I had chosen this quote from the great gatsby becuse the quote realy shows his true colors. Gatsby is just a man who dates wemon to spoil them becuse they where igorant. He wasn't dating them to marry them or to find true love. It show he wasn't the best of men ]]> 2023-01-19 23:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2450488290 defo8393 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2450494260 "Go ahead," answered Daisy genially, "And if you want to take down any addresses here's my little gold pencil. . . ." She looked around after a moment and told me the girl was "common but pretty," and I knew that except for the half hour she'd been alone with Gatsby she wasn't having a good time. (chapter 6 line 81 fitsgerald) the reason why i had picked this quote is it becuase it opened my mind to that Daisy doesn't love gatsby she just loves the status and the fact she just using the status to get back at Tom as to say she also can have another lover]]> 2023-01-19 23:55:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2450494260 defo8393 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2450502598 "You forget there's a lady present," said Jordan.
Daisy looked around doubtfully.
"You kiss Nick too."
"What a low, vulgar girl!" thses lines right here are a good example on how low Daisyis willing to go to the point where she will be married and kissing other men infront of other people and when her inmature actions were pointed out she responed in a way that basicly says it okauy you should do it too.

"I'm just going to wait here and see if he tries to bother her about that unpleasantness this afternoon. She's locked herself into her room and if he tries any brutality she's going to turn the light out and on again." this qoute right here is true repreantation of gatsby's love for daisy after all she did a hit and run killing a woman he told her to turn the lights on and off if Tom tried to beat her for the accident. after all that happend gastsby is still there for her]]> 2023-01-20 00:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2450528885 gate8447 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2451300305 Nick says in chapter 6  "He wanted nothing less of Daisy than that she should go to Tom and say: "I never loved you" (Fitzgerald 109). This quote shows that Gatsby was truly in love with Daisy and only wanted to be with her. He really thought that she would choose him over Tom since they had been in love before. But he did not know that she would reject him for someone who never really cared about her. ]]> 2023-01-20 16:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2451300305 gate8447 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2451316387 In chapter 7  Tom said " I can't speak about happened five years ago because I didn't know Daisy then---unless you brought the groceries to the back door. But all the rest of that's a God Damned lie. Daisy loved me when she married me and she loves me now" (Fitzgerald 131). This shows that Tom really thought that daisy loved him.

 "yes"  He hesitated " Was she killed? " "Yes" " I thought so; I told Daisy i thought so. It's better that the shock all comes at once. She stood it pretty well. " He spoke as if Daisy's reaction was the only thing that mattered. (Fitzgerald 143) This makes it known that Gatsby really only cared about Daisy. He did not want anything to happen to her. Her reaction and what would happen to her was the only thing that mattered to him. ]]> 2023-01-20 17:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2451327039 "Gatsby states "I'm going to fix everything just the way it was before," he said, nodding determinedly. "She'll see." (Fitzgerald 6).

"Michaelis and this man reached her first, but when they had torn open her shirtwaist, still damp with perspiration, they saw that her left breast was swinging loose like a flap, and there was no need to listen for the heart beneath. the mouth was wide open and ripped at the corners, as though she had choked a little giving up the tremendous vitality she had stored so long" (Fitzgerald 106) i chose this quote because it talks about myrtles death and its really graphic but its really into detail and its an important detail.]]> 2023-01-23 02:28:26 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2452694153 rodr8689 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2455500142 Gatsby says "Your wife doesn't love you," said Gatsby. "She's never loved you. She loves me." (Fitzgerald 7) I picked this quote because it shows how bold gatsby is and how he wants the "truth" to come out that daisy never loved tom. He wants daisy to himself and wants them to split up, given that tom already beats her and cheats. ]]> 2023-01-25 00:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2455500142 rodr8689 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2455501931 Nick says, "Afterward he kept looking at the child with surprise. I don't think he had ever really believed in its existence before." (Fitzgerald, 6).  This quote reveals how gatsby is surprised about seeing the child. Even though he already knew she had one, all of the feelings are getting to him now that he sees the child in person. He may feel some type of way because he wanted to start a life with daisy already but its coming to him that she has already started that family and he is not in it. ]]> 2023-01-25 00:41:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2455501931 ‘I wouldn’t ask too much of her,’ I ventured. ‘You can’t repeat the past.’‘Can’t repeat the past?’ he cried incredulously. ‘Why of course you can!’ trin8754 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2458326711 In this quote between a small argument between Nick and Gatsby, Nick recognizes that Gatsby is delusional in his belief that he can regain his past love, Daisy, and the life they once had together. Gatsby's delusions are rooted in his desire to relive the past and his unwillingness to accept the reality of the present.

Up until this point in the novel, Nick has seen Gatsby as a mysterious figure who is often reserved and distant. Gatsby's dancing displays a level of confidence and self-expression that Nick had not previously seen in him. It also reveals a side of Gatsby that is more carefree and spontaneous, which contrasts with the more serious and brooding persona he had previously presented. This revelation is a surprise to Nick and adds a new dimension to his understanding of Gatsby as a person.

But there was Jordan beside me, who, unlike Daisy, was too wise ever to carry well-forgotten dreams from age to age. As we passed over the dark bridge . . . the formidable stroke of thirty died away with the reassuring pressure of her hand. So we drove on toward death through the cooling twilight. trin8754 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2458338088 Nick's quote foreshadows the tragic events that are to come in the novel. The imagery of "death" and the "cooling twilight" suggest a sense of impending doom and finality. The "cooling twilight" also symbolizes the end of the carefree and extravagant lifestyle that Gatsby and the other characters have been living, and the approaching darkness that will bring an end to the excess and hedonism of the era. Additionally, the phrase "we drove on" suggest that Nick and the other characters are unable to stop the inevitable outcome and that they are headed towards a tragic end.

Gatsby said (Fitzgerald 129). hern8494_1_1 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2458992521 This quote emphasizes the delusional love that Gatsby has for Daisy and his contributions to gain her attention. Gatsby wanted to basically start over again so that he can finally be with Daisy again. His desire for Daisy's love shows in this quote and from the looks of it, he's not willing to back down from his decision. It also shows that he might be even willing to take any consequences of repeating the past.]]> 2023-01-27 14:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2458992521 Tom was evidently perturbed at Daisy's running around alone, for on the following Saturday night he came with her to Gatsby's party. Perhaps his presence gave the evening its peculiar quality of oppressiveness—it stands out in my memory from Gatsby's other parties that summer. (Fitzgerald 60). hern8494_1_1 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2461458795 This quote emphasizes how Daisy didn't want Tom to be around her while being at Gatsby's party. She wanted to have a good time at the party with Gatsby but with Tom around that won't be able to happen. But she later doesn't have a good time due to Gatsby being busy sometimes.]]> 2023-01-30 14:19:28 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2461458795 varg8873 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2462340506 "He talked a lot about the past and I gathered that he wanted to recover something, some idea of himself perhaps, that had gone into loving Daisy. His life had been confused and disordered since then, but if he could once return to a certain starting place and go over it all slowly, he could find out what that thing was." (fitzgerald 132)
I picked this quote because it shows how desperate Gatsby is in his fantasy with Daisy and was still stuck in the past and was obsessed with recreating it. He wants to recreate it because he had Daisy in his happiest times. ]]> 2023-01-31 02:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2462340506 varg8873 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2462365950 "Don't tell me, old sport." He winced. "Anyhow—Daisy stepped on it. I tried to make her stop, but she couldn't so I pulled on the emergency brake. Then she fell over into my lap and I drove on.
"She'll be all right tomorrow," he said presently. "I'm just going to wait here and see if he tries to bother her about that unpleasantness this afternoon. She's locked herself into her room and if he tries any brutality she's going to turn the light out and on again."(fitzgerald 400-401)

These quotes show how Gatsby is trying to defend Daisy about running over Myrtle how she ran into the road and they tried to avoid her but they couldn't. And Gatsby explains that he is going to wait outside if Daisy needs any help from Tom. And they made a signal of turning the lights off and on.

"She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me. It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart she never loved any one except me!"(fitzgerald 241) 
this Quote explains the Gatsby version of the truth. At this moment Daisy realizes she loves Tom instead of Gatsby which is ironic because of all the things Tom had done to her. Gatsby also realizes that the American dream is not going to come true because Daisy is not interested in him. He has realized that his only dream isn't going to come true. ]]> 2023-01-31 03:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2462374305 varg8873 https://padlet.com/dcamarota1_1/2b9crshczmxxg0eq/wish/2462393609 "His heart beat faster and faster as Daisy's white face came up to his own. He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God. So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning fork that had been struck upon a star. Then he kissed her. At his lips' touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete."(fitzgerald 134)

I choose this quote because it shows how passionate Daisy and Gatsby were. This shows how Gatsby and Daisy's biggest dream came true. this quote shows how Daisy can't handle Gatsby's dream and would rather stay with Tom.
