The Great Gatsby: Chapter 8 Review by Cami Glover

He realizes that the entire summer season has passed and he hasn't once taken a swim in his own pool.

The pool symbolizes the letting go of love

Perhaps Gatsby no longer cared. If that was true he must have felt that he had lost the old warm world, paid a high price for living too long with a single dream.

I picked this because Gatsby has given up on his love

"The touch of a cluster of leaves revloved it slowly, tracing, like the leg of a compass, a thin red circle in the water." (Page 98)

I chose this quote because after Gatsby died he was just moving away in his mattress. And this basically means being let go on a raft. This quote somewhat correlated to this because theres leaves tracing him, so even though Gatsby is dead people are still going to fein for him. Gatsby was very well known so I feel like all the objects revolving him is a symbol for people will being very interactive with his death.

Gabby

Gatsby was prompted to talk to Nick because he wanted him to hear from Jordan about Daisy and Gatsby's past relationship. Therefore this gave Gatsby to freely talk and bring up the past with Nick.

Gatsby talks to Nick freely now because he wants him to hear about his past relationship with Daisy from Jordan.

Gabby

2024-03-05 12:42:25 UTC

We all know Gatsby loved Daisy for so many reasons and still does. Then over time Gatsby further realizes that Daisy deals with him leaving for war overseas and this leads to Daisy moving on.

I feel like this would symbolize how as a society the moralities that have been built over time are deteriorating.

Chris

25camartin — 2024-03-05 12:45:31 UTC

He tells him not to drain the pool since he hasn't used it all summer and he was going to take a swim. It symbolizes Gatsby letting go of his love and just floating with life.

Kadyn

25kswank — 2024-03-05 12:45:36 UTC

The eyes symbolize the fact that someone may always be watching everything you do. So if you think you can get away with something because no one is watching maybe think again.

He was prompted to talk freely with nick because they went through somethings that made Gatsby trust nick, which then eventually also led to tell nick about his past relationship from Jordan about daisy

“I have an idea that Gatsby himself didn’t believe it would come, and perhaps he no longer cared. If that was true he must have felt that he had lost the old warm world, paid a high price for living too long with a single dream.”

Lynlee

Gatsby is now comfortable around Nick so he feels like he can trust him

"Then I leaned back in my chair and tried to think. It was just noon." (Pg. 155)

I picked this quote because he had tried calling Gatsby at noon like they have talked about but he didn't know what was occuring.

End of the road.

Chris

25camartin — 2024-03-05 12:49:03 UTC

Gatsby really loved Daisy and still does but over time Gatsby realize that Daisy dealt with him leaving to go fight in the war overseas by getting married which lead to her moving on from Gatsby.

Alaina Glover

25aglover — 2024-03-05 12:49:13 UTC

"I've always been glad I said that. It was the only compliment I ever gave him because I disapproved of him from beginning to end."(Pg. 94)

I chose this quote because Nick and Gatsby did a lot together through the whole book and this shows how Nick felt about Gatsby and how this one compliment was so meaningful.

adrian

25aflahive — 2024-03-05 12:49:27 UTC

"But Wilson stood there a long time, his face close to the window pane, nodding into the twilight" (Fitzgerald 168). "Wilson was quieter now and Michaelis went home to sleep; when he awoke four hours later and hurried back to the garage Wilson was gone" (Fitzgerald 168).

I chose this quote because it showed how Wilson looked and what he was doing moments before he snuck off to Gatsby's house to kill him and end his own life.

Kalyn

25krdavis — 2024-03-05 12:49:40 UTC

Gatsby feels like he can trust Nick and he feels like he's grown a bond with him.

Lynlee

25lstone — 2024-03-05 12:49:59 UTC

In my opinion I believe the eyes symbolize someone will always be watching you, so you need to be careful about what you do

Gabby

2024-03-05 12:50:04 UTC

I feel like the pool symbolizes letting go of the past, especially through the love aspect. Gatsby was informed by his gardner that he hasn't used the pool ALL summer. So since Gatsby decides to take a swim it symbolizes him finally letting go.

Tamer

The death of Gatsby..

Rin Cooper

2024-03-05 12:50:14 UTC

In the beginning once he found out who Nick was and who he was connected to he allowed for something to grow within’ their acquaintance and while Nick thought poorly of the man, Gatsby still used Nick as a crutch to help him achieve a forever lasting dream to be reunited with Daisy, which in turn allowed for him and Nick to grow closer.

Dillin Smith

2024-03-05 12:50:43 UTC

Nick is the only real friend that gatsby has that is not just acting like his friend for the money or for fame but just because he likes gatsby.

We learn that obviously, Gatsby is in love with daisy and not just for one reason. We also can see that daisy was able to death with Gatsby when he left for the war and didn't return afterwards.

The pool may symbolize being free because he had others use it for parties but he himself had not used it during the summer.

Lynlee

25lstone — 2024-03-05 12:51:14 UTC

it symbolizes not yet wanting to let go of Daisy.

Kalyn

25krdavis — 2024-03-05 12:51:46 UTC

Gatsby loved Daisy. As he was talking to Nick he says Daisy saw Gatsby leave for war and decided to move on

Kadyn

25kswank — 2024-03-05 12:51:48 UTC

Maybe it was to show the fact that multiple people had been killed or died in this chapter all within days of each other.

Zoran

25zahmed1 — 2024-03-05 12:51:53 UTC

" I'm going to drain the pool today, Mr. Gatsby. Leaves'll start falling pretty soon, and then there's always trouble with the pipes."

This is foreshadowing to what happens later in the chapter and kind of describes that the pool is not getting drained of its water, but life.

Gabby

2024-03-05 12:52:11 UTC

I feel like Fitzgerald used the word "holocaust" to portray/symbolize the death of Gatsby or all of the deaths leading up to that point. Since it was the 1920s the Holocaust in WWII was not even a thought before Fitzgerald using it in his book.

Jayden

2024-03-05 12:52:12 UTC

"He was clutching at some last hope and I couldn't bear to shake him free." I chose this quote because it shows how delusional Gatsby is over Daisy.

Lynlee

25lstone — 2024-03-05 12:52:21 UTC

To describe that more than one person died and it was to emphasize the death of Gatsby

Gatsby and nick have now gone through many things together and Gatsby feels like he can actually trust him. People take a while to trust.

25lbernard2 — 2024-03-05 12:52:29 UTC

Rin Cooper

2024-03-05 12:52:47 UTC

Gatsby loved the idea of having Daisy with him, still hooked on the past they use to share. Once he left for war he still had an image and idea of who she is and was and didn’t believe it could change even once he returned, and once he figured out she married another man he still believed that she was infatuated with him just as much as he was with her, which would be wrong. She loves him but changed and grew while he was gone.

Tamer

2024-03-05 12:53:02 UTC

"He was clutchung at some last hope and i couldnt bear to shake him free" This shows how he was trying his best and he got set free

Kalyn

25krdavis — 2024-03-05 12:53:05 UTC

I think the eyes symbolize that someone could be watching you and you would have no idea. You would have to watch your back

He views it as the eyes of god and that they are capable of seeing everything even when others don't see it. It symbolizes truth as well.

"They're a rotten crowd," I shouted across the lawn. "You're worth the whole damn bunch put together." (P95)

I chose this quote because after talking with Gatsby Nick leaves but he wanted to make Gatsby feel a bit better so he told him that line to let him know he was a better person then the group of people they were with.

Rin Cooper

2024-03-05 12:53:12 UTC

To describe the rather large and drastic way Wilson took to his wife being murdered.

Zoran

25zahmed1 — 2024-03-05 12:53:22 UTC

He trusts Nick now because he knows that he will not tell anyone about what is happening to him.

Kadyn

25kswank — 2024-03-05 12:53:51 UTC

We learn that gatsby had loved daisy for many years and was a very sensitive guy when it came to daisy and her future. Gatsby wanted daisy to come back to him and leave Tom revealing what he truly wanted.

Kalyn

25krdavis — 2024-03-05 12:54:00 UTC

I think the symbol of the pool means he is not ready to let Daisy go

He tells the garden not to drain the pool because throughout the entire summer he hasn't used it once. Also is able to symbolize the love for daisy and that he docent want that to be drained away.

That Gatsby may be a little delusional about Daisy saying she will come back when in reality she most likely stay with Tom

Dillin Smith

"It was after we started with gatsby toward the house that the gardener saw wilson's body a little way off in the grass, and the holocaust was complete."

this is that last line of chapter 8 and it talks about how the killing of Gatsby was like the holocaust.

The pool could symbolize the remaining bliss everyone held after the ordeal, it could be the sense of having one be cleansed of their sins but only to have their sins catch them in a moment of weakness.

As Gatsby talks with nick we are told that Gatsby loved and still loves Daisy to this day, we're also told that Gatsby acknowledges how Daisy had to move on after Gatsby leaves for war

25lbernard2 — 2024-03-05 12:56:27 UTC

Maximus

2024-03-05 12:56:41 UTC

Nick already knows the Gatsby has feeling for Daisy and Daisy to Gatsby. But never knew that Daisy was pretty much in it for the money because when Gatsby left for war, she went to Tom since he was rich but when Gatsby came back and had all of this money, Daisy came crawling back.

Alex

2024-03-05 12:57:20 UTC

how he and Daisy met

Jayden

2024-03-05 12:57:40 UTC

Gatsby still loves Daisy but when he left for the war Daisy moved on and got married.

Rin Cooper

2024-03-05 12:57:44 UTC

Wilson views the eyes of Dr. T.J Eckleburg as the eyes of god, using them as a way to show Myrtle that god sees everything, even if he can’t there always will be someone who will see your wrongs. It provides a deeper in look to how we are playing god in some way, seeing their story through a lens, while it may be in Nicks perspective we are still watching everything unravel and are making our own judgements on everyone.

Joey

25jgigliotti — 2024-03-05 12:57:44 UTC

"He must have looked up at an unfamiliar sky through frightening leaves and shivered as he found what a grotesque thing a rose is and how raw the sunlight was upon the scarcely created grass. A new world, material without being real, where poor ghosts, breathing dreams like air, drifted fortuitously about... like that ashen, fantastic figure gliding toward him through the amorphous trees."

I think this is a beautiful quote. It shows how Gatsby no longer has Daisy to love anymore and it shows how the world now seems cruel and unfamiliar to him in his final moments.

Dillin Smith

2024-03-05 12:57:53 UTC

That Gatsby loves Daisy and as Gatsby explians this to nick. Nick just sits there and gives Gatsby false hope. when we the readers know that Nick knows theres no hope for Gatsby and Daisy.

Zoran

25zahmed1 — 2024-03-05 12:58:11 UTC

He said it is the eyes of God and that God is always watching.

Kadyn

25kswank — 2024-03-05 12:58:29 UTC

"I couldn't sleep all night; a fog-horn was groaning incessantly on the sound, and I tossed half-sick between grotesque reality and savage, frightening dreams." I picked this quote because it's explaining very specifically what nick is hearing and they are very unusual noises.

Joey

25jgigliotti — 2024-03-05 12:59:02 UTC

Gatsby needed someone to talk to, and knowing Nick for a while already, decides to tell him the truth. He now considers Nick as a good friend.

Tamer

2024-03-05 12:59:04 UTC

Wilson sees them as the eyes of god watching over everyone. they symbolize the moral decay of the era

adrian

25aflahive — 2024-03-05 12:59:22 UTC

Because he was in love and hurt. He also wanted Nick to know about the past and the relationships.

Jayden

2024-03-05 12:59:25 UTC

I think the eyes symbolize that you never know who's watching you.

Zoran

25zahmed1 — 2024-03-05 12:59:52 UTC

He wanted to relax in the pool, and he knew he was going to die in the pool. It symbolizes his deathbed.

2024-03-05 13:00:40 UTC

"There was a faint, barely perceptible movement of the water as the fresh flow from one end urged its way toward the drain to the other"(Pg 162).

I chose this quote because it gave so much detail into how Gatsby died. They didn't give much detail to when Myrtle died.

Jayden

2024-03-05 13:00:50 UTC

He hasn't used the pool all summer. Swimming could symbolize letting go of Daisy.

Tamer

Gatsby wants to keep the pool full to show off his fancy lifestyle. The pool symbolizes his wealth and success.

Dillin Smith

He looks at the eyes like the eyes of god and how he watches everthing. It shows how everyone watches everyone.

Joey

25jgigliotti — 2024-03-05 13:00:55 UTC

The eyes provide a symbol of God, always watching everyone's every move. It's symbolic of how "justice" will always be served to everyone

maximus

2024-03-05 13:01:23 UTC

Gatsby talked freely to Nick because Gatsby has trust in Nick. Could tell him anything he wanted. He didn't know him well enough in the past but still never told Nick how he really made his money. That's when I think Gatsby doesn't have full trust in Nick but Nick is probably the person he would trust the most.

Alex

2024-03-05 13:01:28 UTC

He views them as a representation of god. They're usually symbolized as gods eyes

Joey

25jgigliotti — 2024-03-05 13:01:39 UTC

The pool symbolizes Gatsby's final clinging onto summer and its warmth. It will ultimately be his deathbed.

I believe that D.r T.J Eckleburgs eyes symbolize how people will always do something behind your back, and how that will lead to a punishment

"His house has never seen so enormous to me as it did that night when we hunted through the great rooms for cigarettes."

to tell how bad nick felt about gatsby death

He tells to gardener not to drain the pool because he hasn't used it all summer. I believe the pool symbolizes the fun parts of life as well as love because when Gatsby's in the pool he constantly thought about Daisy

" I'm going to drain the pool today Mr. Gatsby. Leaves'll start falling pretty soon, and then there's always trouble with the pipes."

I chose this quote because this tells us what Gatsby will be doing later in the chapter, and what he does later in the chapter then leads to his demise.

The death of Gatsby

Zander

25ztompkins — 2024-03-05 16:31:07 UTC

We all know that Gatsby loves Daisy, but he realized that Daisy had moved on from him once he left for the war and that he needs to move on too.

Zander

25ztompkins — 2024-03-05 16:32:38 UTC

This symbolizes that someone is always watching, no matter what, and if you think that you can get away with something no matter how little, you can't and consequences will always catch up to your actions.

Zander

25ztompkins — 2024-03-05 16:35:03 UTC

He tells him not to drain the pool because he hasn't swam at all this year, I think it could symbolize that Gatsby has realized that he's wasted his life and he just needs to relax every once in a while.

Zander

25ztompkins — 2024-03-05 16:36:34 UTC

He uses Holocaust in his book because he wants to describe all the death that has happened recently.

The mistaken ending

Kai Nelson

25knelson — 2024-03-05 16:44:09 UTC

"Perhaps Gatsby no longer cared. If that was true he must have felt that he had lost the old warm world, paid a high price for living too long with a single dream."

I chose this quote becasue Gatsby lived a lot of his life chasing after Daisy and trying to be with her and now that he has her, he doesn't care anymore.

Kai Nelson

25knelson — 2024-03-05 16:46:25 UTC

After all of Toms accusations Gatsby was broken down so he just decided to talk freely with Nick.

Quinn

2024-03-05 16:47:33 UTC

Gatsby talked to Nick freely because he was stressed and Nick was one of the only people around him that he could trust.

Kai Nelson

25knelson — 2024-03-05 16:48:50 UTC

We learned that Gatsby loved Daisy for superficial reasons

Kai Nelson

25knelson — 2024-03-05 16:49:50 UTC

He talks about it being all seeing eyes and the symbolism could mean God

Gavin P

25gpostell — 2024-03-05 16:51:49 UTC

I think that Gatsby didnt really have anyone else that he could talk freely with exept for nick. Gatsby and Nicks relationship as friends grew through out the story and by the end of the story Gatsby trusted Nick.

Kai Nelson

25knelson — 2024-03-05 16:51:53 UTC

He doesn't what to drain the pool becasue he hasn't used it yet and this could sybolis him not wanting to let go of love.

Quinn

2024-03-05 16:53:00 UTC

He could've seen the pool as a symbol for summer and if the pool was being drained it meant that summer had finally slipped away from him.

Kai Nelson

25knelson — 2024-03-05 16:53:32 UTC

He wanted to bring attention and emphasize to the meaning of Gatsbys death.

I think that the Fitzgerald used the word holocost do forshadow the death of Gatsby.

To represent how much conflict and death there was.

The eyes could symbolize how nothing that was done will stay private or hidden and everyone's actions will have consequences.

I think that the pool was a symbol of letting go or being free because he hadnt used it once intil the end when he was shot in it.

I thnk that the "eyes" represents that someone could be watching you without you even knowing.

that his love for daisy impeccable and there is a mission for his love for daisy

They will just learn more about the love Gatsby has for Daisy and will learn that even the Daisy is with Tom, Daisy secretly loves Gatsby.

I think the eyes symbolize God watching your every move and see if you will be honest. Gatsby wasn't honest and got killed in return. Same for Daisy but she didn't die, she lost the love of her life.

I think the pool symbolizes his death bed and drown with everything that he has done. Since, he was in the car when Myrtle got ran over, he didn't talk. The way he got his money, he brought that down to his grave Aswell.

He uses this word as a mass murder since myrtle and Gatsby both died horribly. It wouldn't be called a Holocaust if they died of old age.

Gatsbys last day

I chose this quote "Just before I reached the hedge I remembered something . . . ‘They’re a rotten crowd,’ I shouted . . . ‘You’re worth the whole damn bunch put together.’ I’ve always been glad I said that. It was the only compliment I ever gave him, because I disapproved of him from beginning to end. Nick expresses his true feelings about Gatsby’s life and achievements. Even though Gatsby’s lifestyle causes scorn in Nick, Gatsby stands out from the rest of the upper-class as a person.

Gatsby has grown a bond with Nick and feels as though he can trust him.

Tia

Duding Gatsby honest conversation with Nick, we learn more about Gatsby's last and his true identity. Gatsby reveals that he was born into a poor farming family and changed his name and made a fortune through illegal activities. Gatsby also had opened up about his love for Daisy and how he has a desire to recreate the past.

Wilson views the "eyes of Dr.T.J Eckleburg" as a symbol of god judgement. They represent the moral decay of the society in the novel. The eyes watching over the characters serves as a reminder of the consequences of their actions,

The eyes symbolize that even if you don't know someone is always watching. In this case the book used "God" and who is watching.

He was a passionate, selfless man who just wanted the best for Daisy and wanted to be with her so badly. How he delt with his past traumas and how moved on.

He does'nt like to know there is an end. He does'nt want closure at that moment

He used it as a word for multiple deaths or devastations and or the end of a mass killing of people. (important people and not important)
