Gatsby is no longer hiding because he now realizes daisy is slipping away from him.

Gatsby likes daisy and not Tom he is wealthy.]]> 2021-04-22 18:51:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448928734 https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448930301 We learned that Gatsby loved daisy "superficially".

And that Daisy promised to wait for him to come back from war but she didn't and married Tom instead.]]> 2021-04-22 18:52:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448930496 https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448930545 The irony of Gatsby's funeral is that no one chose to show up.  Gatsby threw many lavish parties as a way to socialize and especially see daisy, but when it is a funeral for a man who created these fun experiences for many, they still chose to not attend. ]]> 2021-04-22 18:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448930545 https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448930575 I think Nick means when he says Gatsby balances his corruption v. his incorruptible dream, he is talking about how Gatsby got all of his money illegally. But also that he dreamed of daisy and that dream couldn't be touched/"corrupted". ]]> 2021-04-22 18:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448930575 https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448930685 question #6 : Wilson views the "eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg" as God's eyes. I believe that Wilson's statement to his wife of how God is always watching shows us that Wilson might have known about his wife's affair for a while just didn't say anything. I think that this statement is symbolic of the whole book because there are multiple affairs and each spouse on some level or another knows about them. ]]> 2021-04-22 18:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448930685 https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448931106 Wilson views the eyes on the billboard as the eyes of God. We know this because he explains that he showed his wife the billboard and said that God is watching everything. I think his statement does have symbolic meaning for the novel as a whole because when Nick passes the eyes on the billboard it was always described as someone watching him.]]> 2021-04-22 18:52:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448931106 https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448931512 question 2

His money is "half" of his dream while Daisy is his other "half". However, Daisy cannot be corrupted, therefore there is balance.]]> 2021-04-22 18:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448934103 https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448934317 Chapter 8 Question 3
 As Nick leaves Gatsby the morning after the accident, he remarks, “They’re a rotten crowd.” Enumerate the people “they” refers to. Why are they “rotten”? 
Nick is telling Gatsby through this message that he is an amazing person. Nick is referring "they" to the elite class., which is the highest. They are rotten because they seem to care most if not all about themselves.]]> 2021-04-22 18:53:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448934317 https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448936799 "You're worth a whole 🤬 bunch."

He feels condemned to compliment him because he knew that Gatsby was starting to realize that Daisy didn't care about him as much as he thought, since she didn't even care enough to call him after the accident. ]]> 2021-04-22 18:53:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448936905 https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448939013 Chapter 9, question 1
Daisy and Tom Left so nick feels obligated to invite Gatsby. Gatsby was only cared for because of his wealth and Nick was the only one who was his genuine friend.  
Chapter 8, question 3
He's talking about tom and Daisy. Tom doesn't want nick to have daisy and daisy doesn't care as long as she is rich. They are rotten because they are shallow and only care for themselves.]]> 2021-04-22 18:54:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448939013 https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448939323 Chap 8, #2 we learn that Gatsby fell in love with Daisy and that they were together a month before he had to leave for the war in Europe. ]]> 2021-04-22 18:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448939323 https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448942868 Chapter 8, question 2- Gatsby took what he could of Daisy because he couldn't have her hand in marriage.]]> 2021-04-22 18:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448942868 https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448942974 Tom has pulled him down from all of the horrible accusations, and because of that Gatsby has no reason to hide who he is since he sees Daisy slipping away from him ]]> 2021-04-22 18:54:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448942974 https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448943519 I think the way Nick used the word "Holocaust" to describe the deaths of the people around him was his way of saying innocent people had been killed and wrongly accused for actions that were made by other people. I believe he also used this term to describe the event because it was almost as if all the people around Nick were slowly being taken away, leaving him feeling more and more lonely. ]]> 2021-04-22 18:55:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448943519 https://padlet.com/jen_beckmann/89g4lri83tp2/wish/1448943632 His father Learned of the tragedy from the newspaper.

I think he knew his sons personality and that he was a good man overall, but I don't think he knew how he got his money.

The reasons i am to believe Gatsby is doing this is because 1. Gatsby cleared up accusations about him so things wont end up being taken out of context and 2.
