He gained wealth and owns an amazing mansion, where he likes to throw extravagant parties. His life has many elements to it, of which many do not know. This makes him sort of mysterious. ]]> 2021-04-23 15:38:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jmsandoval103/63mfow5i3iaacugr/wish/1452296096 jmsandoval103 https://padlet.com/jmsandoval103/63mfow5i3iaacugr/wish/1452345600 "I didn’t want you to think I was just some nobody. You see, I usually find myself among strangers because I drift here and there trying to forget the sad thing that happened to me." (73). Gatsby says this to Nick while they are driving in Gatsby's amazing car. Gatsby feels that it's important to tell Nick all about himself so Nick thinks of him in a good way. He also tells Nick that he likes to just drift with people to try to forget about what happened to him, which again shows us how he is mysterious, because no one knows what happened. ]]> 2021-04-23 15:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jmsandoval103/63mfow5i3iaacugr/wish/1452345600 jmsandoval103 https://padlet.com/jmsandoval103/63mfow5i3iaacugr/wish/1452366348 When Gatsby is talking to Nick, he tells him about the time that he was in the War. He tells him about how he lead his division out of a crazy situation and they came out victorious. He said he was promoted to major and was given a decoration from every Allied government! This shows us again how fascinating his life is, and also, how mysterious it is too. Out of all the other things he is, he's a war hero too! It makes us wonder if he might be exaggerating or even lying, which again makes him mysterious. ]]> 2021-04-23 15:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jmsandoval103/63mfow5i3iaacugr/wish/1452366348 jmsandoval103 https://padlet.com/jmsandoval103/63mfow5i3iaacugr/wish/1452406710 Jay Gatsby lives in Long Island, New York, where his great mansion is located.
