It's too late!'... He sat down miserably, as if I had pushed him, and simultaneously there was the sound of a motor turning into my lane. We both umped up, and, a little harrowed myself, I went out into the yard."]]> 2020-03-27 15:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kunetzr/8ybabjyrztzh/wish/478621140 kunetzr https://padlet.com/kunetzr/8ybabjyrztzh/wish/478628486 "We went in.

A pause; endured horribly."]]> 2020-03-27 15:29:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kunetzr/8ybabjyrztzh/wish/478634152 kunetzr https://padlet.com/kunetzr/8ybabjyrztzh/wish/478638256 ""His eyes glanced momentarily at me, and his lips parted with an abortive attempt at a laugh. Luckily he clock took this moment to tilt dangerously at the pressure of his head, whereupon he turned and caught it with trembling fingers and set it back in place."]]> 2020-03-27 15:30:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kunetzr/8ybabjyrztzh/wish/478638256 kunetzr https://padlet.com/kunetzr/8ybabjyrztzh/wish/478644615 "'Five years next November.' The automatic quality of Gatsby's answer set us all back at least another minute. I had them both on their feet with the desperate suggestion that they help me make tea in the kitchen.... Gatsby got himself into a shadow while Daisy and I talked, looked conscientiously from one to the other of us with tense, unhappy eyes. However, as calmness wasn't an end in itself, I made an excuse at the first possible moment, and got to my feet."]]> 2020-03-27 15:34:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kunetzr/8ybabjyrztzh/wish/478644615 kunetzr https://padlet.com/kunetzr/8ybabjyrztzh/wish/478655302 " they were sitting at either end of the couch, looking at each other as if some question had been asked, or was in the air, and every vestige of embarrassment was gone. Daisy's face was smeared with tears, and when I came in she jumped up and began wiping at it with her handkerchief before a mirror. But there was a change in Gatsby that was simply confounding. He literally glowed; without a word or gesture of exultation a new well-being radiated from hi =m and filled the little room."]]> 2020-03-27 15:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kunetzr/8ybabjyrztzh/wish/478655302 kunetzr https://padlet.com/kunetzr/8ybabjyrztzh/wish/478680548 This is the resolution of tension. When Nick comes back after leaving them alone after the terribly awkward instances, they seem to be getting along just fine. The quietness that Fitzgerald describes is calm. The reader is not waiting for something bad to happen. ]]> 2020-03-27 15:49:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kunetzr/8ybabjyrztzh/wish/478680548 kunetzr https://padlet.com/kunetzr/8ybabjyrztzh/wish/478686476 Fitzgerald uses words and phrases like "artificial", "trembling", conscientiously, tense, horribly, glaring tragically, which all provide a sense of unease in the reader. This causes tension because the reader can feel the awkwardness of the situation and is unsure what will happen next. ]]> 2020-03-27 15:52:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kunetzr/8ybabjyrztzh/wish/478686476 kunetzr https://padlet.com/kunetzr/8ybabjyrztzh/wish/478691728 Here, the reader is expecting Gatsby to be in the room waiting for Daisy, but with Nick we are surprised to see that he has mysteriously disappeared. All the sudden he is at the front door and the reader is wondering how he got there and why. ]]> 2020-03-27 15:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kunetzr/8ybabjyrztzh/wish/478691728
