He is cheating on Daisy with a woman from a lower class. Tom does not try to hide it from Daisy or any of their other friends (pg. 26).]]> 2018-05-15 15:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/samauger04/k3pyoade8kbr/wish/260897176 samauger04 https://padlet.com/samauger04/k3pyoade8kbr/wish/261617308 Tom thinks of everything as a bore. He has little to no respect for other people and this goes especially for women. He only cares for what other people say when the subject is himself and his reputation. ]]> 2018-05-17 14:59:27 UTC https://padlet.com/samauger04/k3pyoade8kbr/wish/261617308 samauger04 https://padlet.com/samauger04/k3pyoade8kbr/wish/261618100
He thinks of himself better than everyone else. Tom believes that white is the superior race and really expresses how he feels on that topic. "Well, its a fine book,  and everybody ought to read it. The idea is if we don't look out the white race will be-will be utterly submerged. Its all scientific stuff; its been proven."( chapter, 1) ]]> 2018-05-17 15:01:17 UTC https://padlet.com/samauger04/k3pyoade8kbr/wish/261618100 samauger04 https://padlet.com/samauger04/k3pyoade8kbr/wish/261618300 Tom doesn't know what real love is. If he did know he wouldn't cheat on Daisy. He shows his love by buying his girls pearl necklaces. Pearls symbolize pure and innocent, making it seem like he keeps their innocence for himself. ]]> 2018-05-17 15:01:44 UTC https://padlet.com/samauger04/k3pyoade8kbr/wish/261618300 tlcbuggie https://padlet.com/samauger04/k3pyoade8kbr/wish/263362539 Tom’s main desire in life is to have a good reputation and do whatever he wants. When he has his affairs, he has a tendency to buy pearl necklaces for the women. This relates to his desires because when he has a desire for these other women he is sure to give himself a good reputation when pleasing them with this piece of jewelry.]]> 2018-05-24 14:17:17 UTC https://padlet.com/samauger04/k3pyoade8kbr/wish/263362539 tlcbuggie https://padlet.com/samauger04/k3pyoade8kbr/wish/263364609 The only way anyone has really hurt Tom is by hurting his ego. When Daisy had an affair with Gatsby, Tom was suspicious and was fairly butthurt in the matter. He only thought of himself and didn’t think of Daisy’s thoughts. This action would have been helpful when He was cheating on Daisy. He hurt her when he was having his affair but did not care about her feelings when she cheated on him]]> 2018-05-24 14:23:39 UTC https://padlet.com/samauger04/k3pyoade8kbr/wish/263364609 tlcbuggie https://padlet.com/samauger04/k3pyoade8kbr/wish/263365402 Tom’s most tragic flaw is quite obviously his affair with Myrtle. If he at all loved Daisy he would not have been doing it. Not only does it ruin his reputation, but it ruins his integrity.]]> 2018-05-24 14:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/samauger04/k3pyoade8kbr/wish/263365402 tlcbuggie https://padlet.com/samauger04/k3pyoade8kbr/wish/263366693 “Did you give Nick a little heart to heart talk on the veranda?” When Tom demanded this out of Daisy it showed a controlling character. He interrupted Daisy and this shows he does not respect her.
"Terrible place, isnt it?” When Tom said this he was referring to Myrtle’s home. She lives in the valley of ashes and he wanted to seem heroic when he takes her away from it.]]> 2018-05-24 14:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/samauger04/k3pyoade8kbr/wish/263366693
