Gatsby is introduced as a silhouette in the entrance to the neighbor's estate.

What does Nick notice about Gatsby when he sees him for the first time?
His hands are in his pockets but then he stretches his arms outward and almost seems to be trembling.

How does Nick
know for certain that the man he sees is actually Gatsby?
Nick notices his demeanor and comes to the conclusion that he must be Gatsby.

How does this moment add to the mystery and intrigue surrounding Gatsby?
 It is odd to be holding your arms out like that as well as the fact he disappears adds to the mystery.

 What are some of the rumors associated with Gatsby? 
His money is said to have come from the Kaiser of Germany during WWI.

Why might Fitzgerald choose to reveal rumors rather than facts about this character?
It adds to the suspense of the character making you want to meet him more.]]> 2019-04-25 13:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/20eeichenlaub/ccqjfqijdrgw/wish/354098581 20eeichenlaub https://padlet.com/20eeichenlaub/ccqjfqijdrgw/wish/355010668 3.

2. Imagery is used on page 39, nick is describing the lavishness of Gatsby's mansion.
The sentence second on page 39 is a simile: "girls came and went like moths among the whisperings
