This word fits Tom since he is always rude towards the people that he "loves." He finds himself the best of best meaning that whatever he says goes. An example from the novel is when Tom is talking to Wilson and responds rude and coldly about how fast his worker is.]]> 2022-02-16 17:40:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mssheaffer/929ul9ke7cfgr41x/wish/2051456597 https://padlet.com/mssheaffer/929ul9ke7cfgr41x/wish/2051457306 Comely - attractive

Tom is described in the book as being built and strong. So to most people, he is seen as attractive physically even tho he is a terrible person.]]> 2022-02-16 17:41:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mssheaffer/929ul9ke7cfgr41x/wish/2051457306 1352320 https://padlet.com/mssheaffer/929ul9ke7cfgr41x/wish/2051457315 2022-02-16 17:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mssheaffer/929ul9ke7cfgr41x/wish/2051457315 1352320 https://padlet.com/mssheaffer/929ul9ke7cfgr41x/wish/2051458428 2022-02-16 17:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mssheaffer/929ul9ke7cfgr41x/wish/2051458428 https://padlet.com/mssheaffer/929ul9ke7cfgr41x/wish/2051466023 Strident - harsh, discordant; obtrusively loud

Tom is very aggressive towards people especially if they disagree with something that he said or does. He is very loud and dramatic when he walks in the house and Daisy and Jordan or relaxing, having a good time without him.]]> 2022-02-16 17:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mssheaffer/929ul9ke7cfgr41x/wish/2051466023 https://padlet.com/mssheaffer/929ul9ke7cfgr41x/wish/2051470141 Hubristic - proud, excessively self confident.

This fits Tom because he is very self centered and wants everything to be about him all the time. He is also very proud of what he has done or accomplished and wants everyone to know.]]> 2022-02-16 17:46:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mssheaffer/929ul9ke7cfgr41x/wish/2051470141 https://padlet.com/mssheaffer/929ul9ke7cfgr41x/wish/2051474447 “…one of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anticlimax.”

This quote represents Tom because it describes how he always wants to be the best. It shows how once he reaches his best desire he went down hill. This quote represents how far Tom will go for things because of his money. This is important to the novel because it brings out who Tom really is. ]]> 2022-02-16 17:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mssheaffer/929ul9ke7cfgr41x/wish/2051474447 https://padlet.com/mssheaffer/929ul9ke7cfgr41x/wish/2051475393 Quaint - having old-fashioned charm

This fits Tom because is very old fashioned and everyone seems to like him. He has a very strong proper look but when you get to know him he is a terrible person. ]]> 2022-02-16 17:48:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mssheaffer/929ul9ke7cfgr41x/wish/2051475393 https://padlet.com/mssheaffer/929ul9ke7cfgr41x/wish/2051480077  “It’s up to us, who are the dominant race, to watch out or these other races will have control of things”.

This represents Tom because he is very racist, he favors one race over another and only sides with one side. He is a cheater and only one race to him is in control. This is important to the novel because it shows how Tom views people and what kind of person he is in the book.
