The Great Gatsby by Nathan Demeter https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf Made with an open mind en-us 2022-04-19 14:01:53 UTC 2022-05-12 13:31:41 UTC hello@padlet.com 1. Who seems to be a character that you like or can identify with? Why? 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2151882615 I think i identify most with Nick. he is quiet but still can hold a conversation. he analyzes everything everyone says. He is reserved, which is unlike me but i believe i am the most like him.]]> 2022-04-21 11:25:53 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2151882615 2. Do you have any questions so far? If not, what predictions do you have for what will happen to these characters? 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2151886499 I have one question so far. cars were made in the 20s and were expensive then. if nick has a car as said at the end of chapter 1, why does he chose to live a a little hut and nit a big house? With some back ground information i kinda know what happens. Tom is portrayed a little different than i thought.]]> 2022-04-21 11:28:43 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2151886499 MIP 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2153649195 The green light symbolizes a lot, wealth greed, and much more. you have said that there is a lot of green. another close second is when daisy is talking about pam being born. saying she hopes shes a fool and how tom wasn't there ]]> 2022-04-22 14:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2153649195 1. Tom and Myrtle have an unusual relationship. Pick a couple you know of from real life, the movies, a TV show, or another book and explain how that couple is similar to or different from Tom and Myrtle. 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2156682193 I think tom and myrtle are very similar to the spider man movies( Toby McGuire). i say this because mj eventually goes for the richer guy, and in this case harry osborne]]> 2022-04-25 14:40:08 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2156682193 2. Include one brief description from this chapter that you found interesting. 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2156684258 I found the way tom acted when going to se myrtle very interesting. he seemed very giddy and nervous but most everybody knew he was having an affair]]> 2022-04-25 14:41:16 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2156684258 1. On page 48, Nick meets Gatsby for the first time. Fitzgerald writes that Gatsby has "one of those rare smiles ... [that] understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you are you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression fo you that, at your best, you hoped to convey" Who is a person in your life who has smiled or smiles at you in a way similar to that? How do you know this person? 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2158517032 One of my good friends has one of those smiles. They are super genuine and can light up a room with it. ]]> 2022-04-26 13:29:34 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2158517032 2. Both Gatsby's party and New York City are described here. Please include a couple of images of 1920's New York or 1902's mansions or fancy parties of the 1920's that you find interesting looking. 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2158520350 2022-04-26 13:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2158520350 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2158522996 This is another one. they both look like they are held in big places. The first one seems much less formal, however.]]> 2022-04-26 13:32:39 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2158522996 1. Gatsby's car is described here (page 64). Please find an image of this type of car and post it up. Is this a kind of car you'd have interest in driving? Why or why not? 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2160266780 yes i would drive it, it is lavish and a peice of automobile history]]> 2022-04-27 12:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2160266780 2. Attached is a film clip of recapping page 74-78- in your opinion, what is the most important detail included in BOTH Fitzgerald's writing and this film version? Why? 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2160371760 I think the most important detail is the way Gatsby looked at daisy. "like every girl wants a man to look at her"]]> 2022-04-27 13:29:27 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2160371760 1. If you were Nick would you have arranged the tea between Daisy and Jay? Why or why not? 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2164298327 I would set up the tea, but I would tell daisy that Gatsby was coming. I don't think he should've surprised her.]]> 2022-04-29 13:30:20 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2164298327 2. Why do you think Daisy cried about the shirts? It seems an odd thing to cry over. What does it mean, do you think? 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2164301276 I don't know why daisy cried about the shirts and I think that she was surprised that he was rich and it all was this lavish sort of lifestyle, even though she lives like that with tom.]]> 2022-04-29 13:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2164301276 1. Ultimately, what does Gatsby want from Daisy? 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2168238739 Gatsby want to marry Daisy. He wants Daisy to divorce Tom and to marry him. i also think that Gatsby wants to live a quieter life when he maybe gets daisy. i think that if he does end up married to him, Gatsby will throw less parties.]]> 2022-05-03 12:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2168238739 2.

Why? 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2168240648 it is very insignificant but I would like to practice singing more. i feel if i had practiced more as a kid my range would have expanded.]]> 2022-05-03 12:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2168240648 1.

If you have more, please include them all. 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2171425848 Why is Gatsby just now telling people he did not attend oxford now instead of when he first met them.

One over looked moment in this chapter is that Nick turns 30. He says "Thirty- the promise of a decade of lonliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning briefcase of enthusiam, thinning hair" (135). What do you image your life to be like at 30? 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2171429528 i hope at 30 i will be able to have a stable source of income, and hopefully find a wife. i know this is a big ask of the world but I can hope]]> 2022-05-05 13:31:47 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2171429528 1. Please re-read the section on page 148 (or page 155) starting with the lines "She was the first 'nice' girl he had every known" THROUGH "Daisy, gleaming like silver, safe and proud above the hot stuggles of the poor." What do we learn about the beginning of Jay and Daisy's relationship and how does this tell us about how Gatsby feels about her? 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2177664254 Daisy liked various people at a single point in time. while Gatsby might have amused her i dont think she loved him yet.]]> 2022-05-10 14:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2177664254 2. Where you surprised by the ending of this chapter? Explain why or why not? (Remember, my goal is to see if you actually read this chapter.) 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2177668310 Having seen the screen play before i was a little confused. the book seems to tell it a little more vaguely, with difficult to understand analogies. i appreciate them i just dont think they were needed. also in the screen play there wasn't a butler there to answer the phone for gatsby. he did it. thats how his back was turned. ]]> 2022-05-10 14:05:47 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2177668310 1. Nick runs into Tom Buchanan again on page 178 ( or page 186) and says they are "careless people." What does he mean by this? 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2181256560 i think by careless people he mean more Gatsby than anything else but also nick. nick really hasn't done anything the entire book. he just witness everything]]> 2022-05-12 13:30:07 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2181256560 2. Overall, what is your experience with reading this novel outside of class? Was it as challenging as you thought it would be to find the time to read/listen to it? Did you enjoy the novel at all? 30003813 https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2181259348 I did enjoy this novel, it was definitely better than most of the other school novels we read. I also like the unpredictability of it. not that it is, but you are so caught up in the story you don't think about it.]]> 2022-05-12 13:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/30003813/6vxqjk7ps3aljadf/wish/2181259348
