- nick lists the guests of Gatsbys- extravagance of Gatsby’s parties- people are extension of Gatsby’s image/facade

Born into a wealthy mid west family, educated at Oxford which was a family tradition, after touring Europe he served in the military 
- in the military he tried very hard to die but ended up living an enchanted life
- he is pulled over for speeding but is pardoned and let go after showing a card from the police because he had done a favour for the Comissioner]]> 2021-11-09 13:51:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/gatch4/wish/1878289679 https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/gatch4/wish/1878294240 - Gatsby using props like Oxford pictures to enforce his facade
- Jordan’s perspective offers insight into Gatsby’s past with Daisy- highlights Gatsby’s motivation and his devotion to Daisy in comparison to her passing feelings ]]> 2021-11-09 13:52:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/gatch4/wish/1878294240 https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/gatch4/wish/1878298095 “Disconcerting ride” - the ride to the city is discerned as. Gatsby was trying to clear the record on his past to Nick. Gatsby gets pulled over for speeding but is let go for his special past as he did a favour for the commissioner. 

Nick meets mayor wolfshiem who is a gambler and is Gatsby’s link to organised crime. Another reference to his dodgy past. 

Nick talks to Jordan and tells him how in 1917 Daisy received an unknown admirer by the name of Jay Gatsby. He watched Daisy in a way that every young girl wants to be looked at.]]> 2021-11-09 13:54:00 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/gatch4/wish/1878298095 https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/gatch4/wish/1878299633 By the end Nick becomes awareness that Tom and Gatsby are linked by their desire to reach retrospective dreams ]]> 2021-11-09 13:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/gatch4/wish/1878299633 https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/gatch4/wish/1878303836 The purpose of the chapter is to give a better understanding of Gatsby’s past. And it is a way for him to manipulate the narrative to Nick as he only tells Nick what he wants him to know. ]]> 2021-11-09 13:55:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/gatch4/wish/1878303836 https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/gatch4/wish/1878351571 ‘they will give you a better impression than my generalities of those who accepted Gatsby’s hospitality and paid him the subtle tribute of knowing nothing whatever about him’
‘His name was Jay Gatsby and I didn’t lay eyes on him again for over 4 years - even after I’d met him on Long Island I didn’t realise it was the same man’
‘I made the pleasure of his (Gatsby’s) acquaintance just after the war. But I knew I had discovered a man of fine breeding after I talked with him an hour’
‘He was never quite still: there was always a tapping foot somewhere or the impatient opening and closing of a hand’]]> 2021-11-09 14:09:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/gatch4/wish/1878351571
