'But there's a garage right here,'  objected Jordan. 'I don't want to get stalled in this baking heat'"(Fitzgerald, pg 130).

If Nick, Jordan, and Tom didn't stop for gas when they did Tom wouldn't have found out about Myrtle moving, and Myrtle wouldn't have seen Tom in Gatsby's car. Since she did see him in Gatsby's car she thought the car belonged to Tom which is why she ran out in the street later that night which led to her getting hit and Tom telling Wilson Gatsby did it. Which means Gatsby never would have been shot.]]> 2020-04-21 18:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_vanvolkenburg/69yx3ybpe0npd6sb/wish/521056841 ryan_vanvolkenburg https://padlet.com/ryan_vanvolkenburg/69yx3ybpe0npd6sb/wish/521090456 "‘Nobody’s coming to tea. It’s too late!’ He looked at his
watch as if there was some pressing demand on his time
elsewhere. ‘I can’t wait all day’"(Fitzgerald, pg 91).

Daisy is about to arrive to meet Gatsby but Gatsby thinks she is  not coming and is about to leave when she arrives. If Daisy arrived any later than she did Gatsby would have already left and he would have never met Daisy.]]> 2020-04-21 18:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_vanvolkenburg/69yx3ybpe0npd6sb/wish/521090456 ryan_vanvolkenburg https://padlet.com/ryan_vanvolkenburg/69yx3ybpe0npd6sb/wish/521130827 "'This is an unusual party for me. I haven't even seed the host. I live over there... and this man Gatsby sent over his chauffeur with an invitation...' 'I'm Gatsby,' he said suddenly" (Fitzgerald, pg 52).

Nick has pretty much been looking for Gatsby the entire time he's at the party and ends up talking about how he was invited to the party by Gatsby and can't find him to Gatsby.]]> 2020-04-21 18:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_vanvolkenburg/69yx3ybpe0npd6sb/wish/521130827 00037292 https://padlet.com/ryan_vanvolkenburg/69yx3ybpe0npd6sb/wish/521300320 "James Gatz who had been loafing along the beach that afternoon... 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... And when the TUOLOMEE left for the West Indies and the Barbary Coast Gatsby left too" (Fitzgerald, pg 105-107).

Gatsby formerly known as Jay Gatz had been looking for his way out of poverty and into a wealthy life, which appeared the day he decided to row out to a random yacht. Thanks to his stroke of luck and the chance he took he was able to become the big shot fancy pants James Gatsby he was destined to be.]]> 2020-04-21 19:57:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_vanvolkenburg/69yx3ybpe0npd6sb/wish/521300320 ryan_vanvolkenburg https://padlet.com/ryan_vanvolkenburg/69yx3ybpe0npd6sb/wish/521328477 " Tell ‘em all Daisy’s change’ her mine ...  She wouldn’t let go of the letter. "(Fitzgerald, pg 82-83)

Moments before she got married Daisy gets a letter form her ex lover Gatsby and has a mental dilemma that makes her choose between the soldier she thought she lost and the rich man she loves now. Which is perfect timing because if she did not get this letter at the time she did she never would have remembered Gatsby and have to make the decision of one man or the other.]]> 2020-04-21 20:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_vanvolkenburg/69yx3ybpe0npd6sb/wish/521328477
