When he gets angered, sometimes he may get violent. For example, on page 41, Tom ends up breaking Myrtle's nose. Myrtle shouts, "Daisy! Daisy! Daisy!" " I'll say it whenever I want to! Daisy! Dai-". Once Myrtle easily aggravated Tom, he resorts to breaking her nose as payback.]]> 2016-09-20 16:58:50 UTC https://padlet.com/omichalek8641/bv6m60hhuqxg/wish/125161373 omichalek8641 https://padlet.com/omichalek8641/bv6m60hhuqxg/wish/125163984 Tom has been born into a very rich family, and to this day he remains spoiled. There are many examples of this happening. One such example is him cheating on Daisy. He knows that she is a very good person, but she isn't enough for him. On the side, he has Myrtle Wilson. On page 19 this is stated by Jordan. "Tom's got some woman in New York." He always wants more and more of something, and in this situation, it is another person to be with.]]> 2016-09-20 17:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/omichalek8641/bv6m60hhuqxg/wish/125163984 omichalek8641 https://padlet.com/omichalek8641/bv6m60hhuqxg/wish/127040084 Tom is the most prideful character in The Great Gatsby. There are many situations in which he is bragging about himself or the things that he has. One such example of this is on page 11. Tom states, "Now, don't think my opinion on these matters is final...just because I'm stronger and more of a man than you are." He clearly has a massive ego and he isn't afraid to show it.]]> 2016-09-28 16:57:24 UTC https://padlet.com/omichalek8641/bv6m60hhuqxg/wish/127040084 omichalek8641 https://padlet.com/omichalek8641/bv6m60hhuqxg/wish/129895382 2016-10-11 17:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/omichalek8641/bv6m60hhuqxg/wish/129895382 omichalek8641 https://padlet.com/omichalek8641/bv6m60hhuqxg/wish/131960058 There are many situations in which Tom is being brutally honest, to the point where he is almost being rude. He lets people know the truth, even when he knows that it would hurt them. On page 30 he states to Dr. Eckleberg, "Wilson? He thinks she goes to see her sister in New York. He's so dumb he doesn't know he's alive." As stated before, this sentence is blunt to the point of rudeness. Tom does not hold anything back.]]> 2016-10-20 01:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/omichalek8641/bv6m60hhuqxg/wish/131960058 omichalek8641 https://padlet.com/omichalek8641/bv6m60hhuqxg/wish/131968656 Tom has been dishonest more than anyone can count. He lies to people on any account. Whether he's just telling a white lie or absolutely deceiving someone, he's great at both. On page 29-30, Tom deceives Wilson, who thinks that Tom is his friend, into allowing himself to be with Wilson's wife. His dishonesty can allow him to achieve many things that he desires.]]> 2016-10-20 03:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/omichalek8641/bv6m60hhuqxg/wish/131968656 omichalek8641 https://padlet.com/omichalek8641/bv6m60hhuqxg/wish/131969971 Tom manipulates many things in the book to make things go his way. He utilizes his great skill at lying to achieve his manipulative behavior. The two, when paired up, are very effective and he can have many people fulfill his desires.]]> 2016-10-20 03:23:33 UTC https://padlet.com/omichalek8641/bv6m60hhuqxg/wish/131969971 omichalek8641 https://padlet.com/omichalek8641/bv6m60hhuqxg/wish/131974870 Tom ended up being one of the smartest characters in The Great Gatsby. He got away with everything he did, and got people to carry out his desires. On page 187, Tom confesses about what he said to Wilson. "I told him the truth...He was crazy enough to kill me if I hadn't told him who owned the car." We see here, how Tom managed to get Gatsby killed by manipulating Wilson. This was doing it to the greatest extent, but he repeats this method many times throughout the story. ]]> 2016-10-20 04:25:15 UTC https://padlet.com/omichalek8641/bv6m60hhuqxg/wish/131974870 omichalek8641 https://padlet.com/omichalek8641/bv6m60hhuqxg/wish/131974938 When Tom has gone through tough times, he lets out emotion. Be it through vengeance or sadness, he always appropriately reacts. On page 146, Nick describes Tom's reaction to Myrtle's motionless body. " ...and Tom, with his back to us, was bending over it [Myrtle] , motionless. While Tom may look tough and act tough, even he comes through and shows his inner colors through times of strife.]]> 2016-10-20 04:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/omichalek8641/bv6m60hhuqxg/wish/131974938
