down.’" 
Myrtle says this to her husband as she is face-to-face with Tom Buchanan and with her back facing her husband. As her husband scrambles, Tom tells her to get on the next train because he wants to see her. This quote is used by Myrtle to distract her husband from hearing about her and Tom's plans.]]> 2021-04-21 17:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ravarghese100/ksfc04rl4hrlbjh6/wish/1443850330 ravarghese100 https://padlet.com/ravarghese100/ksfc04rl4hrlbjh6/wish/1443853915 When Tom Buchanan and Nick Carraway get off the train and head to the Valley of Ashes, Tom tells Nick that he is going to meet his girl: Myrtle Wilson. As George begins talking to Buchanan and Nick, Myrtle comes down the stairs and heads towards Tom and Nick. Tom tells her to take the next rain to his apartment because he wants to see her. After a while, Nick, Tom and Myrtle go to Tom's apartment in New York. Finally arriving at the apartment, the three invite a few more people and everyone parties; Nick Carraway recalls this moment as the second time he has gotten drunk. This might indicate that she only cares for Tom Buchanan due to the way he treats her and spends money on her. She likes to spend time with Tom because he buys her face cream, a puppy, dresses, etc. ]]> 2021-04-21 17:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ravarghese100/ksfc04rl4hrlbjh6/wish/1443853915 ravarghese100 https://padlet.com/ravarghese100/ksfc04rl4hrlbjh6/wish/1443855639 While sometimes Myrtle is whisked away by Tom to his lavish apartment in New York, she is usually in the Valley of Ashes at her husband's garage. The garage, itself, is described by Nick Carraway as a "small block of yellow brick sitting on the edge of the waste land... unprosperous and bare", which When she is seen in Chapter 2, she is seen coming down the spiral stairs to talk to Tom. Myrtle most likely stays upstairs while her husband is at work downstairs. She and her husband George live in the place above their garage. ]]> 2021-04-21 17:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ravarghese100/ksfc04rl4hrlbjh6/wish/1443855639 ravarghese100 https://padlet.com/ravarghese100/ksfc04rl4hrlbjh6/wish/1443862368 2021-04-21 17:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ravarghese100/ksfc04rl4hrlbjh6/wish/1443862368 ravarghese100 https://padlet.com/ravarghese100/ksfc04rl4hrlbjh6/wish/1443873761 2021-04-21 17:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ravarghese100/ksfc04rl4hrlbjh6/wish/1443873761 ravarghese100 https://padlet.com/ravarghese100/ksfc04rl4hrlbjh6/wish/1452513006 2021-04-23 16:21:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ravarghese100/ksfc04rl4hrlbjh6/wish/1452513006
