This is significant because because in the first two chapters, Nick explains how he's never seen Gatsby and is curious about him. However, when Nick finally sees him, he realizes they were in the WW1 together.]]> 2019-04-29 12:23:02 UTC https://padlet.com/20cmcnitt/4siuu9yu03q4/wish/354970633 20mpoole https://padlet.com/20cmcnitt/4siuu9yu03q4/wish/354972708 Foreshadowing plays a huge role in this book. 
In chapter 3, Nick attends one of Gatsby's parties and witnesses an accident outside Gatsby's home.  another example of foreshadowing is in Gatsby's and Daisy's relationship when Gatsby tells Nick "Her voice is full of money" (Fitsgerald, 120). This is said to tell us how Daisy comes from money and has been wealthy throughout her life.

Another literary technique that's used throughout the book is the use of similes.  In chapter 3,  "In blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars." (Fitsgerald, 39).  This simile compares the party guests to moths and how they're simply attracted to attending the party.]]> 2019-04-29 12:28:10 UTC https://padlet.com/20cmcnitt/4siuu9yu03q4/wish/354972708 20cmcnitt https://padlet.com/20cmcnitt/4siuu9yu03q4/wish/354973432 1.) Nick goes over to Gatsby's party and talks with Gatsby directly. He realizes who he is and get to know him even more. This is important because Nick continuously questions who Gatsby is and what he does and he finally get's an invitation to his house. Not only does he go to Gatsby house, but has a conversation with him.
2.) Gatsby told Jordan a plan on getting Daisy to talk to him without her knowing of him being there. Nick will invite Daisy over for tea, without her knowing Gatsby will show up to Nick's for tea as well. Before Gatsby went to war, Daisy and him were in love. This is important because we learned that the reason Gatsby is even in West Egg is to have a house close to Daisy. He secretly plots a plan with Jordan to go to tea and invite Daisy without her knowing Gatsby will show up.
3.) Meyer Wolfsheim in a gambler who fixed the World Series in 1919. This is important because Nick believes that this is how Gatsby may have gotten his wealth. Nick doesn't know how he's not in jail yet.]]> 2019-04-29 12:30:25 UTC https://padlet.com/20cmcnitt/4siuu9yu03q4/wish/354973432 20dryder https://padlet.com/20cmcnitt/4siuu9yu03q4/wish/356564125 Crazy and in love
 Maybe but with whom 
She wed to Tom
but fools around with Gatsby
 in the present with Tom
stuck in the past with Gatsby
Their marriage might not be as happy as you would think
both sleeping around and not even needing a drink
Tom shows real emotion as "Tom was evidently perturbed at Daisy's running around alone"
Daisy is lost in her own heart
"I did love him once--but I loved you too"
In love with both
Her heart aches
"Even alone, I can't say I never loved Tom."
Tom in mind
Gatsby remaining nothing but a friend
With Daisy so conflicted 
She does something crazy

"Of course she might have loved him just for a minute, when they were first married - and loved me more even then, do you see?" 152
