They could vote at last: The 19th Amendment to the Constitution had guaranteed that right in 1920 for women to vote. Millions of women worked in white-collar jobs and could afford to participate in the burgeoning consumer economy. The increased availability of birth-control devices such as the diaphragm made it possible for women to have fewer children. And new machines and technologies like the washing machine and the vacuum cleaner eliminated some of the drudgery of household work.

These rumors create a "mystery man" and readers have to continue reading in order to solve the mystery. ]]> 2019-04-25 12:22:43 UTC https://padlet.com/20dsajgovic/j5flu6k2wwno/wish/354071929 What are some of the rumors associated with Gatsby?

People believe because of that, that's where all of the money comes from. ]]> 2019-04-25 12:22:56 UTC https://padlet.com/20dsajgovic/j5flu6k2wwno/wish/354071996 3 20tbianco https://padlet.com/20dsajgovic/j5flu6k2wwno/wish/354970680 In the chapters 3 and 4, there was a party hosted at the Gatsby's house that Nick was invited to.  He goes to the party and runs into Jordan Baker and talks to her. Nick continues to hear rumors about Gatsby and how he gained his wealth.
In chapter 3, Nick and Jordan walk outside and meet Gatsby for the first time.  He makes a long speech to them as Nick becomes increasingly more intrigued with him.  Gatsby doesn't drink and keeps himself away from the rest of the party.
In chapter 4 Nick talks to Jordan about the conversation she had with Gatsby in private.  She reveals he is in love with Daisy and bought his mansion to be near her.  He wants Nick to arrange a meeting between them without her knowledge.]]> 2019-04-29 12:23:12 UTC https://padlet.com/20dsajgovic/j5flu6k2wwno/wish/354970680 2 20tbianco https://padlet.com/20dsajgovic/j5flu6k2wwno/wish/354970737 Foreshadowing- we don't know all of the details about Gatsby. This demonstrates who people can show others different sides of their personality and we may never know someone fully. 
Allusion- flappers, these are women who wear shorter dresses and cut their hair short. The " Rebel women of the time". They are more liberal than the previous generation of women. This is alluded to when Nick notices all the "hair short in strange new ways" when he first enters Gatsby's party showing allusion throughout this book.]]> 2019-04-29 12:23:20 UTC https://padlet.com/20dsajgovic/j5flu6k2wwno/wish/354970737 1 20tbianco https://padlet.com/20dsajgovic/j5flu6k2wwno/wish/354970774 "When he was gone I turned immediately to Jordan- constrained to assure her of my surprise. I had expected that Mr. Gatsby would be a florid and corpulent person in his middle years. 'who is he?' I demanded. 'Do you know?' 'He's just a man named Gatsby.' 'Where is he from, I mean? And what does he do?'"
This shows that no one knows for sure who Gatsby is and if they feel like they know something, others think they know different. There are a lot of rumors going around and impacts the view on the individual. ]]> 2019-04-29 12:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/20dsajgovic/j5flu6k2wwno/wish/354970774 3 20mbradley https://padlet.com/20dsajgovic/j5flu6k2wwno/wish/355746998 In chapter 4 Gatsby is speeding, but when a policeman tries to pull him over, he shows the cop a white card and the cop politely and apologetically waves them on. Gatsby claims that this happened because the police commissioner owes him a solid. This shows that Gatsby has a lot of power.]]> 2019-05-01 12:05:17 UTC https://padlet.com/20dsajgovic/j5flu6k2wwno/wish/355746998
