Jordan by Bryn L Leddy https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7 World renowned golf star. A good friend, wealthy, attractive, and a gossiper. Quite self-centered. en-us 2020-12-01 20:46:37 UTC 2026-06-26 12:38:40 UTC hello@padlet.com Physical Appearance: bl3214 https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/977655192 Jordan fits in with the flapper ideal. She has a bob cut, darker makeup, and openly drinks throughout the story. Her physical look is opposite of Daisy's.]]> 2020-12-01 20:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/977655192 She enjoys golfing: bl3214 https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/977657957 Jordan's job is a professional golfer. She is pretty good and has won a lot so almost everywhere she goes, someone knows her. ]]> 2020-12-01 20:58:23 UTC https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/977657957 Jordan values friendship : ch3656 https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/977702141 Although Jordan may be a bit self centered, she would still do a lot for her friends. She is caring and willing to stick up for them.]]> 2020-12-01 21:11:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/977702141 A 'boyish' flapper woman style: bl3214 https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/977708867 Flapper women were women who would have a less womanly style. They would smoke, openly drink, have bob haircuts, wear short skirts, drive, and do things that women didn't really do back then.]]> 2020-12-01 21:14:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/977708867 She spreads a lot of rumors and lies quite a bit: bl3214 https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/977721055 At Gatsby's party, the first thing that she tells Nick is the rumors about Gatsby. Jordan has gotten ahead by lying like when she lied about the placement of her ball to do better in the tournament.]]> 2020-12-01 21:18:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/977721055 Rumors... bl3214 https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/981649534 "The rumor is,' whispered Jordan, 'that that's Tom's girl on the telephone." (Fitzgerald 122).

Jordan is making assumptions that Tom went off to talk to his mistress at the Buchanan's house.]]> 2020-12-02 20:33:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/981649534 Portrays herself well... bl3214 https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/985743017 I looked at Miss Baker wondering what it was she "got done." I enjoyed looking at her. She was a slender, small breasted girl with an erect carriage which she accentuated by throwing her body backward at the shoulders like a young cadet. (Fitzgerald 15).

She's slim, attractive, and seems to portray herself well.]]> 2020-12-03 21:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/985743017 Well known in public. bl3214 https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/985752357 "Hello!" they cried together. "Sorry you didn't win." That was for the golf tournament. She had lost in the finals the week before. (Fitzgerald 47).

She's so well known to the point that people recognize her in public.]]> 2020-12-03 21:17:43 UTC https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/985752357 Gossipers and more nosey bl3214 https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/985768083 "He doesn't want trouble with anybody."
"Who doesn't?" I inquired.
"Gatsby. Somebody told me-----"
The two girls and Jordan leaned together confidentially.
(Fitzgerald 48).

Jordan is intrigued by what's going on in other peoples lives and what others have to say about them whether it be true or false.  ]]> 2020-12-03 21:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/985768083 Lives carelessly bl3214 https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/989227015 "You're a rotten driver," I protested. "Either you ought to be more careful or you oughtn't to drive at all." 
"I am careful."
"No, you're not."
"Well, other people are," she said lightly
"What's that got to do with it?"
"They'll keep out of my way," she insisted. "It takes two to make an accident." 
(Fitzgerald 63).

She's careless and trusts other far more than she should. Instead of being responsible when driving, she relies on others to be cautious. ]]> 2020-12-04 20:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/989227015 Doesn't take life too seriously ch3656 https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/989252985 "What'll we do with ourselves this afternoon," cried Daisy, "and the day after that, and the next thirty years?"
"Don't be morbid," Jordan said. "Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall."
(Fitzgerald 63).

From what Jordan says here she shows that she's not too worried of focused about the future and doesn't take life too seriously.]]> 2020-12-04 20:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/989252985 Good friend bl3214 https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/989265365 "Listen, Tom. If you're such a snob why did you invite him to lunch?" demanded Jordan crossly. 
(Fitzgerald 129).

She is sticking up for Gatsby and Daisy.  She's a good friend.]]> 2020-12-04 21:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/989265365 Prioritizing gossip bl3214 https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/995968930 Miss Baker and I exchanged a short glance consciously devoid
of meaning. I was about to speak when she sat up alertly and said “Sh!” in a warning voice. A subdued impassioned murmur was audible in the room beyond, and Miss Baker leaned forward unashamed, trying to hear. The murmur trembled on the verge of coherence, sank down, mounted excitedly, and then ceased altogether. 
“This Mr. Gatsby you spoke of is my neighbor ——” I said.
“Don’t talk. I want to hear what happens.”
(Fitzgerald 18).

Even when it comes to someone trying to talk about something different, she is still more worried about gossip than she is about something that could be potentially important.]]> 2020-12-07 20:38:43 UTC https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/995968930 Moving on bl3214 https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/996011717 “Nevertheless you did throw me over,” said Jordan suddenly.
“You threw me over on the telephone. I don’t give a damn about you now, but it was a new experience for me, and I felt a little dizzy for a while.”
We shook hands.
“Oh, and do you remember.”— she added ——” a conversation
we had once about driving a car?”
“Why — not exactly.”
“You said a bad driver was only safe until she met another bad
driver? Well, I met another bad driver, didn’t I? I mean it was
careless of me to make such a wrong guess. I thought you were
rather an honest, straightforward person. I thought it was your
secret pride."
“I’m thirty,” I said. “I’m five years too old to lie to myself and
call it honor.”
She didn’t answer. Angry, and half in love with her, and
tremendously sorry, I turned away.
(Fitzgerald 178-179).

Jordan was easily able to get over Nick just for the sake that he dumped her over the phone. She is now engaged to someone else and seems to be rubbing it in Nicks face that she was able to make it over Nick when she did while he still sort of loved her.]]> 2020-12-07 20:50:46 UTC https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/996011717 Her past ch3656 https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/996013562 I see now that this has been a story of the West, after all - Tom, and Gatsby, Daisy and Jordan and I, were all Westerners, and perhaps we possessed some deficiency in common which made us subtly unadaptable to Eastern life.
(Fitzgerald 177).

They were all from the west and had to take the time to adapt to eastern life.
]]> 2020-12-07 20:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/996013562 Taunting bl3214 https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/996044157 “I’ve just heard the most amazing thing,” she whispered. “How long were we in there?”
“Why, about an hour.” “It was — simply amazing,” she repeated abstractedly. “But I swore I wouldn’t tell it and here I am tantalizing you.” She yawned gracefully in my face: “Please come and see me. . . . Phone book . . . Under the name of Mrs. Sigourney Howard . . . My aunt . . . ” She was hurrying off as she talked — her brown hand waved a jaunty salute as she melted into her party at the door.
(Fitzgerald 55).

She told Gatsby she wouldn't tell anyone what he said but she was sort of taunting Nick with the information.]]> 2020-12-07 21:01:07 UTC https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/996044157 Too polite bl3214 https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/996075672 “Let’s get out,” whispered Jordan, after a somehow wasteful and inappropriate half-hour. “This is much too polite for me.”
(Fitzgerald 47).

She likes a more hyped up group of people rather than a more matured and laid back group.

A way that she was involved with the death was that she spread some rumors about Gatsby which lead to people not really liking him.]]> 2020-12-08 17:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bl3214/5963ew76glacvju7/wish/999215117
