Most of the remaining women were now
having fights with men said to be their husbands. Even
Jordan’s party, the quartet from East Egg, were rent asunder
by dissension. One of the men was talking with curious intensity to a young actress, and his wife, after attempting to laugh
at the situation in a dignified and indifferent way, broke down
entirely and resorted to flank attacks" (pg 51)]]> 2022-04-12 18:39:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bmount2/gd94ma7bwudueoa8/wish/2141313032 Words otrummer5148 https://padlet.com/bmount2/gd94ma7bwudueoa8/wish/2145064155 Quartet-A group of four people playing music or singing together

In the beginning if felt more fun, exciting and like everyone was having a good time. Later in this quote it shows how the party is now just people arguing with each other. It has broken down. ]]> 2022-04-15 17:30:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bmount2/gd94ma7bwudueoa8/wish/2145067990 mcarney4206 https://padlet.com/bmount2/gd94ma7bwudueoa8/wish/2145068756 This quote reveals that a large part of the parties image comes from those attending. Everyone who comes to the party is trying to show off their wealth with expensive and modern things. This connects to the theme of wealth along with illusion vs reality as many of those attending are trying to look wealthy even if they are not.]]> 2022-04-15 17:31:57 UTC https://padlet.com/bmount2/gd94ma7bwudueoa8/wish/2145068756 Nick is a Background Character fhobbs7896 https://padlet.com/bmount2/gd94ma7bwudueoa8/wish/2145070789 While at the party Nick observes while not interacting with anyone. This means that Nick is a background guy. This is true because he only follows rich self centered people. He just observes what they do and makes judgement on what they do but does not voice them. ]]> 2022-04-15 17:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bmount2/gd94ma7bwudueoa8/wish/2145070789 Nick mcarney4206 https://padlet.com/bmount2/gd94ma7bwudueoa8/wish/2145074945 This quote shows that Nick is often in awe of what he's seeing, although he tries to hide it. He uses adjectives like "gaudy" which show a certain distaste for how the people at the party look, but he also seems to admire everything that's happening by describing it as impressive (how many cars there are, the shawls being "beyond the dreams of Castille") ]]> 2022-04-15 17:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bmount2/gd94ma7bwudueoa8/wish/2145074945 fhobbs7896 https://padlet.com/bmount2/gd94ma7bwudueoa8/wish/2145075448 2022-04-15 17:42:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bmount2/gd94ma7bwudueoa8/wish/2145075448 manderson9343 https://padlet.com/bmount2/gd94ma7bwudueoa8/wish/2145076354 This quote reveals Nicks perspective on the people he is surrounded by. Instead of becoming one with a bunch of chaotic persons, he observes their actions to better understand the kind of character that they have. He's observant and tends to observe life rather than be a part of it. The quote also resembles where Gatsby's party is starting to become more heated, people are loosening up more, have drunk more alcohol, and are starting to show their true colors. This reveals a common theme in this book, which is the self centered characters that appear through it. People put on a glamorous front but when their filter is tampered with they show a true lack of class, gaudiness, and need for attention. They're self absorbed and wish for validation in a high socioeconomic standpoint where they are envied and adored by others. Lastly it relates to the topic ''love and violence'', people have twisted relationships with the people that they meet at the party. There are numerous amounts of affairs and unhappy marriages that can be spotted all throughout the night. People are scorn and rough with one another all while still trying to create an illusion of class. You can't expect to see any honest persons staying true to morally pure ideologies. Love is broken and no longer sweet.]]> 2022-04-15 17:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/bmount2/gd94ma7bwudueoa8/wish/2145076354
