'Her throat full of aching, grieving beauty told only of her unexpected joy.'  (This highlights her tone and the overwhelming sense of joy she is experiencing)'

Juxtaposition of Gatsby and Daisy's values.
Nick points out that to Gatsby
with " [Daisy's] actual and astounding presence none of [his possessions were] any longer real.
While on the other hand, Daisy seems to be lost/ enraptured in the wealth she is surrounded by.

ANALYSIS: "in the big panic - the panic of the war"

When Nick questions whether Gatsby inherited his money or not in a confused way, Gatsby replies:
" I did, old sport", automatically. This shows that he is so used to misleading people with false information about himself that has now become an automated response. This is further proved when Gatsby adds: "but i lost most of it in the big panic - the panic of the war". The hyphen within this sentence show him stuttering ultimately proving he's lying.

Simile which compares him to an over-wound clock, which depicts him as falling apart and forgetting/losing his perfect composure he planned to demonstrate when they reunited. 

- repetition of "old sport" signifies apocryphal status & acquisition of wealth as it seems effortful and contrived 

- "that's my affair" - short, abrupt sentence shows his paranoia and defensiveness, encouraging the reader to question the means in which he acquired his money]]> 2018-03-05 23:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/gpr/greatgatsby/wish/238398424 https://padlet.com/gpr/greatgatsby/wish/238398476 "in the big panic - the panic of the war"

This aligns with his objective of wooing Daisy with his self-made success.

"That's my affair" The short terse dialogue expresses Gatsby's natural defensiveness in regards to the acquisition of his wealth. However, following this it is shown that Gatsby then "realized that it wasn't an appropriate reply" showing that after some thought, Gatsby remembers his decorum and appearance of manners as well as the fact that he can likely trust Nick based on the merit of his actions thus far.]]> 2018-03-05 23:51:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gpr/greatgatsby/wish/238399423 https://padlet.com/gpr/greatgatsby/wish/238399532 The wistful, nostalgic tone/mood created by use of imagery, vivid descriptions, long sentences and specific word choices such as "period bedrooms swathed in rose and lavender silk and vivid with new flowers" mimics Gatsby's surreal, hazy, dream-like interpretation of the proceedings

Similarly, Gatsby has elaborate material possessions, yet they are empty and meaningless to him compared to the value placed on Daisy. This also relates to the character of Daisy, who is portrayed as "pure and innocent", yet has dull and empty values and little depth. ]]> 2018-03-06 00:02:44 UTC https://padlet.com/gpr/greatgatsby/wish/238401211 https://padlet.com/gpr/greatgatsby/wish/238401213 this quote relates to the carelessness of people in the upper class as gold is rare and exotic, not dull. people of the upper class take things for granted and describes something special like gold, as dull. showcasing the theme of materialism ]]> 2018-03-06 00:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/gpr/greatgatsby/wish/238401213 https://padlet.com/gpr/greatgatsby/wish/238401409  ]]> 2018-03-06 00:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/gpr/greatgatsby/wish/238401409 https://padlet.com/gpr/greatgatsby/wish/238401500 suggests Daisy grieves over the lost time that she and Gatsby could have spent together and how she understands that the past cannot be repeated, that this is only a momentary lapse in reality hence the surreal, dream-like atmosphere created]]> 2018-03-06 00:04:31 UTC https://padlet.com/gpr/greatgatsby/wish/238401500 https://padlet.com/gpr/greatgatsby/wish/238401662 after years of hope and desire, Gatsby reunites with daisy, and by visiting his house, she is finally once again in his life. in this sense, Gatsby is a clock that has been barely ticking, and now, bursting into his life, Daisy is the wind-up key that has pushed him into hyper-function. as well as being a statement to his unbridled joy and excitement, this also foreshadows that Daisy will be the cause of his eventual demise. she has "over-wound" him, and in doing so, he is going to "run down".

It is used to represent Gatsby's belief that he is above other people in terms of wealth and social status. The term in used in constant repetition throughout the novel and is highlighted by Fitzgerald frequently.
