It is showing the reader how rich he is and all the fortunes he owns. Nick is narrating and saying how his house compared to Gatsby's is very minimal. Nick is saying that it is like a hotel not a house for one person. Gatsby says he isn't the only person that lives there because he constantly fills it with parties of very energetic people.

Gatsby is without a doubt wealthy, however, it can be difficult for the reader to see how and why he got all of his money. The mansion is not only a symbol of his wealth, but it is also a symbol of his love for Daisy, considering he bought it just to be close to her. he does this ti impress her in hopes oif winning over her love. In the scene where Gatsby is carelessly throwing his shirts, that is a symbol of his wealth as well; as he does not care if his shirts get ruined because he always can get new ones and that all that matters to him is that he has Daisy. (Allison Dorman)

Daisy relates to the theme because Gatsby got the mansion for her. After she married Tom, he found out where she lived and moved into a mansion straight across from hers. He threw lots of parties in hopes of Daisy showing up at one, and seeing her so they can rekindle their relationship from years ago. Daisy never knew Gatsby lived there, let alone if he was alive so she never thought about who lived there and if there was a party going on or not. Later in the story, Gatsby and Daisy meet up again at Nick’s house for tea. While Gatsby was talking to Daisy, he brings up the green light at the end of her dock. Daisy, being curious, asks what he is talking about and how he can see that, Gatsby then explains that he lives right next door to Nick and right across the bay from Daisy in that huge mansion that looks like a hotel compared to hers.

(pg.41) In this scene, Nick can hear the music over at Gatsby's mansion and is able to see all the cars and all the people on their way to the house next door. He notices that people show up uninvited, and don't even see Gatsby at his own parties. It seems that he would not have attended Gatsby's party if he had not received an invitation.

Dealing with time, he bought this house waiting for Daisy to come back to him she he could have her. Since he was in the war for five years, he was separated from Daisy. The mansion is a big symbol of how much time he spent missing her. With the mansion comes lies and deceit. Under Gatsby's roof him and Daisy are having an affair which clearly falls under the category of lying. Another theme may be the American Dream. In the roaring 20's it was a goal often reached to purchase a home and live within financial stability and Gatsby is a clear example of an achiever of the American Dream.]]> 2019-02-26 19:56:23 UTC https://padlet.com/allisondorman27/e1jrl8dfngcj/wish/335614212
