The Great Gatsby by Susan Schall https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7 The place for your Thought Starters/Bookmarks en-us 2017-10-15 17:03:26 UTC 2017-10-26 13:11:38 UTC hello@padlet.com Schall susanschall https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/197134167 I'm surprised that Miss Baker tells Carraway about Tom's affair after only just meeting him (Fitzgerald 19).]]> 2017-10-15 17:05:58 UTC https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/197134167 Trunzo https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198596204 I think it is interesting how the author describes Tom's physical appearance as "a cruel body" (Fitzgerald 7).

I don't understand how the author describes Daisy as very romanticized and ardent, but when she is talking to Nick on the porch she confesses that she is extremely cynical (Fitzgerald 16).]]> 2017-10-19 11:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198596204 Ladele 1846432456 https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198596613 I noticed that Daisy was so eager to tell the story of how she felt when the doctor told her she was having a girl even though she didn’t react positively. (Fitzgerald 21) 


I wonder why Tom was so bothered about whether or not Nick and Daisy had a heart-to-heart talk on the veranda if he's cheating on her with a woman in New York.

She just told him out of nowhere and for no reason at all (Fitzgerald 19).

I'd like to know how Nick and Gatsby are going to meet. I feel like Nick is going to know Gatsby from somewhere (Fitzgerald 26).]]> 2017-10-19 11:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198603164 Baillargeon https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198606743 I like how the author is so descriptive when describing different situations in the story (Fitzgerald 12).

I wonder what happened when Gatsby suddenly vanished (Fitzgerald 26).]]> 2017-10-19 11:55:24 UTC https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198606743 Steagall https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198620639 The part where Gatsby gazes toward the green light seems important because it symbolizes something for him (Fitzgerald 26).

I noticed that Daisy's view of the world is that girls cannot succeed in life unless they are beautiful and a fool (Fitzgerald 21).]]> 2017-10-19 12:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198620639 D'Autorio https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198630850 I wonder why Daisy knew about the affair as soon as the phone rang. (Fitzgerald 20).

I noticed how Daisy did not call Tom out after she found out, and just cried (Fitzgerald 20).]]> 2017-10-19 12:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198630850 William Carrigan 839514 https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198646052  
I’d like to know if Gatsby knew that Nick was outside standing 50 feet away? (Fitzgerald 25-26)
 
I wonder why there is tension between tom and daisy? (Fitzgerald 13-19)

I'd like to know why Tom Buchanan felt the need to make arrogant comments (Fitzgerald 14).]]> 2017-10-19 13:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198646110 Natalie 848236 https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198646538 I think its interesting how they were split into two sections, the West egg and the East egg. (Fitzgerald 5)

I think the relationship between Tom and Daisy is un-pure and sad because of Tom's unfaithfulness. (Fitzgerald 19)]]> 2017-10-19 13:23:42 UTC https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198646538 Ben Nuss https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198646578 I wonder who Tom’s mistress in New York is and if she has any connection to the book (Fitzgerald 19). “Why—“ she said hesitantly, “Tom’s got some woman in New York.”

Although it seems that Daisy and Tom are in an abusive relationship, it’s too early to tell (Fitzgerald 16). “We all looked—the knuckles was black and blue.”]]> 2017-10-19 13:23:46 UTC https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198646578 Julia W https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198646762 I noticed Nick was describing Tom in very descriptive details. Why did the author want us to know these many details so early on in the book? Is he going to be an important character? (Fitzgerald 10)

I realized when Nick said "Can't you talk about crops or something?" Toms response was violent. Tom seems that he does not take sarcasm well. (Fitzgerald 17)]]> 2017-10-19 13:24:07 UTC https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198646762 Oakes https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198646963 I thought it was interesting how they separated the west egg and the east egg. 

I think Tom and Daisy's relationship was very toxic because he had so much hope for love and the future, Daisy was not so hopeful. (Fitzgerald 19)]]> 2017-10-19 13:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198646963 Zullo https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/198683930 I wonder if Daisy is happy with her life? She seems to not care whether she is happy or not, putting on a face to show others that she it but not truly convincing herself (Fitzgerald 17). 
 
I noticed a type of hostility in the air when Nick talked about the environment in Tom’s house. When Tom shut the windows, it seemed to become more intense (Fitzgerald 12).

I am surprised that Nick had only been drunk just twice in his entire life (Fitzgerald 29).]]> 2017-10-20 11:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/199000738 Sean https://padlet.com/susanschall/7f6m735yyud7/wish/199029045 Id like to know what Gatsby thinks of this green light and how did he just disappear F. 26
