Her was, scornful mouth smiled, and so I drew her up closer, this time to my face" (Fitzgerald 80)

"I'd be damned if I'd go in; I'd had enough of all of them for one day, and suddenly that included Jordan too. She must have seen something of this in my expression, for she turned abruptly away and ran up the porch steps into the house" (Fitzgerald 142)

""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.'" (Fitzgerald 177)

"It made no difference to me. Dishonesty in a women is a thing you never blame deeply-I was casually sorry, and then I forgot" (Fitzgerald 58)]]> 2018-06-11 12:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/19hamiltonc/6zqzfuc66as/wish/266593235 19calderonej https://padlet.com/19hamiltonc/6zqzfuc66as/wish/266593379 Myrtle - sees it as a real relationship and thinks it's romantic. Knows she can have whatever she wants because of Toms money and thinks he is spoiling her.
Tom - Only physically attracted to Myrtle. Abuses her because he knows she'll stay for the money. However he does get emotional when he finds out she is dead.

Everything Gatsby has done was for Daisy. Whereas Daisy views Gatsby as her young love and an escape from her life with Tom. ]]> 2018-06-11 12:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/19hamiltonc/6zqzfuc66as/wish/266593499 19hamiltonc https://padlet.com/19hamiltonc/6zqzfuc66as/wish/266593628 Nick and Jordan's relationship isn't really a relationship.

"He talked a lot about the past, and I gathered that he wanted to recover something, some idea of himself perhaps, that had gone into loving Daisy. His life had been confused and disordered since then, but if he could once return to a certain starting place and go over it all again slowly, he could find out what that thing was..."(Fitzgerald 110).

Daisy's motive is money and love, but when Gatsby went away she chose Tom over Gatsby because Tom had money and at that time Gatsby didn't... "They're such beautiful shirts, it makes me sad because I've never seen such---such beautiful shirts before"(Fitzgerald 92). This is where Daisy realizes she should have waited for Gatsby to return, and she should have married Gatsby instead of Tom.]]> 2018-06-11 12:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/19hamiltonc/6zqzfuc66as/wish/266594452 19calderonej https://padlet.com/19hamiltonc/6zqzfuc66as/wish/266594614 Myrtle and Tom's affair is important to the story because it shows the corruption in the 1920s.

Bosses George around. Leaves the house a lot to go with Tom.  "Get some chairs, why don't you, so somebody can sit down." (Fitzgerlad 26)
Myrtle married George because she thought he was a gentleman. "I thought he knew something about breeding, but he wasn't fit to lick my shoe." (Fitzgerald 34) He doesn't live up to her standards and she is dissappointed.
George -Completely in love with Myrtle. Does anything for her. Physically ill when he finds out she has cheated. ]]> 2018-06-11 12:27:48 UTC https://padlet.com/19hamiltonc/6zqzfuc66as/wish/266597762 19hamiltonc https://padlet.com/19hamiltonc/6zqzfuc66as/wish/266597996 "'Even alone I can't say I never Loved Tom,' she admitted in a pitiful voice. 'It wouldn't be true.'" (Fitzgerald 133)

"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy-they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made..."
