He doesn't seem too interested in the money he came from though. He's adventurous and a go with the flow type of guy this is shown when by him moved to New York by himself. We think he's a reliable narrator because he goes in with no bias. He's told that his cousin's husband is cheating on her and he shows no emotional reaction towards it. This shows us that he's either open minded or hasn't made an emotional connection with the new friends he's making. ]]> 2019-04-25 12:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/20skuhr/dozmy6454jl4/wish/354068027 20skuhr https://padlet.com/20skuhr/dozmy6454jl4/wish/354971155 Important Events:
1. Gatsby's Party - This is important because it introduces Gatsby to us.
2. The Library - We are introduced to "Owl Eyes" who says that Gatsby's life is all fake and all for show.
3. Gatsby's Past-  Gatsby tells Nick all about his past, however, Nick doesn't believe it and it doesn't make sense.
Literary Techniques:
1. Simile- "Men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings." Men and girls are compared to moths using the word "like."
2. Imagery- "Owl Eyes." When you hear the given name "Owl Eyes" it implies that this man is always watching, like an owl. He is said to have large eyes and glasses that resemble that of an owl.
Important Passage/Quote:
"I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby's house I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People were not invited- they went there. They got into automobiles which bore them out to Long Island, and somehow they ended up at Gatsby's door. Once there, they were introduced by someone who knew Gatsby, and after that they conducted themselves according to the rules of behavior associated with amusement parks. Sometimes they came and went without having met Gatsby at all, came for the party with a simplicity of heart that was its own ticket of admission," (pg, 41). Importance- It is important because it shows that people from all over come to Gatsby's parties, and he doesn't mind. This gives Gatsby a mysterious presence, as he doesn't typically join in on the party himself. People come to his house and parties, not even knowing exactly who he is, and vise versa. ]]> 2019-04-29 12:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/20skuhr/dozmy6454jl4/wish/354971155
