The hollowness, loneliness, and corruption in wealth are prevalent ideas through out the story. Gatsby, with his newfound wealth, has hundreds of people visit his house during parties, but at the end of the book, he is shown to truly only have one legitimate friend. ]]> 2017-05-23 16:50:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ben_agu932/kni10gvg26c7/wish/173443690 ben_agu932 https://padlet.com/ben_agu932/kni10gvg26c7/wish/173445517 "Your place looks like the world fair," I said. 
"Does it?" He turned his eyes toward it absently. "I've been glancing into some of the rooms. Let's go to Coney Island, old sport. In my car."
 "It's too late."
 "Well, suppose we take a plunge in the swimming-pool.? I haven't made use of it all summer."
 "I've got to go to bed."
 "Alright." 

This quote shows that, although Gatsby's house is constantly brimming with people, he still feels lonely, because of his lack of true friends. He attempts to make a true connection with Nick. ]]> 2017-05-23 16:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ben_agu932/kni10gvg26c7/wish/173445517 ben_agu932 https://padlet.com/ben_agu932/kni10gvg26c7/wish/173450009 "There is no confusion like the confusion of a simple mind." Page. 25, the Great Gatsby. 

I find this quote very interesting, because it displays the idea that sometimes people, and ideas that are kept hidden from us, can be in front in our faces, but yet we can still be oblivious to it.]]> 2017-05-23 17:14:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ben_agu932/kni10gvg26c7/wish/173450009
