This quote is important because it shows how they interact with one another and how there attitudes are shifted throughout the visit with one another. Another way this quote is significant is because it shows the underlying intelligence of Tom that isn’t well expressed.]]> 2019-04-03 17:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/348213106 Chapter 1 Notable Quote https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/348219238 “Tom’s got some new woman in New York.” ... “She might have the decency not to telephone him at dinner time.

Speaker: Nick Carraway
Audience: Readers
Occasion: This is Nick Carraway now and talking about his past.
Significance: This quote was significant to me because it made Nick realize that he wants to go back to normal. Where we listen to our morals and no more parties. For an example, the 1920s was when women decided to break the stereotypes and this is also when people would throw luxurious parties. Nick is telling the readers that he likes it better when its not so extravagant and lavish. ]]> 2019-04-03 20:31:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/348278112 #Corruption/pg.33 https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/348286749 2019-04-03 21:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/348286749 Chapter 1 Notable Quote (pg #17 https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/348287523 "'You see, I think everything's terrible anyhow,' she went on in a convinced way.

Speaker: Daisy
Audience: Nick
Occasion: Nick and Daisy are sitting out on the porch, discussing Daisy's recent cynicism.
Significance: This gives us a look into why Daisy must be so convinced that everything is so horrible, we learn why she's cynical. Many people around her have talked about how awful the world is, at one point Tom even claims that civilization is in shambles right in front of her. Daisy is a cynic because of her own bad experiences and the influence from those around her.]]> 2019-04-03 21:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/348287523 https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/348287763 #Love(39)]]> 2019-04-03 21:10:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/348287763 https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/348293771 Chapter 1 Notable Quote

'Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone,' he told me, 'just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.'"

The speaker of the text above is Nick Carraway, where he states remembering his father giving him advice about not reserving judgement towards anyone, until you have understand what they have been through to get where they are now. This quote stood out the most to me because everyone gets life lessons from their parents growing up, even when you're all grown up you still receive their advice and the advice given to you will always stand out to you because you will always have it in mind. This quote is significant to The Great Gatsby because it reminds the reader to keep in mind the situation of others are in and that not everything is based on class.

Speaker: Nick Carraway
Audience: The reader
Occasion: Nick is reflecting on the advice his father gave him when he was younger and how he still keeps it in mind.
Significance: This quote is significant because Nick Carraway is admits that the advice his father has given him has its own truth and value.]]> 2019-04-04 01:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/348332810 Chapter 1 Notable Quote https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/348337328 (Pg. 1)
"In consequence, I’m inclined to reserve all judgement, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores. The abnormal mind is quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it appears in a normal person..” This quote talks about how people are more likely to speak to him that are of “curious nature” and “abnormal,” or unlike him. 
Speaker: Nick Carraway
Audience: the reader (us)
Occasion: He is telling us about how he was lucky to be born with the needs he had when he was younger.

The fact that I find most believable is the fact that he was in the war because of his depth in speaking on this subject and the artifacts he shows Nick to prove the legitimacy.]]> 2019-04-08 17:55:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349640343 Gatsby https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349641455 I Think the most believable thing gatsby told nick was the one where he talks about war. Gatsby makes it clear that he worked very hard during it becoming first lieutenant since it began. Since he worked so hard he had earned many medals, I thought it was strange he carried those around with him that day to show nick. the least believable thing he told nick to me was when he said all his money he had is because, he came from a extremely wealthy family and since they all had already passed away he inherited all the money. I don’t believe that the money he has comes from just him family there’s no way they were that wealthy. ]]> 2019-04-08 17:57:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349641455 Ch. 4 Gatsby’s Credibility https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349644956 The statement i found most believable about Gatsby is when he states “I am a son of some wealthy people in the Middle West— all dead now.” This is the most believable since Gatsby is rich and it would make since that he inherited all his family wealth. The statement i least believe is when he says he was educated in Oxford , this is due to the fact of how Gatsby acted while telling Nick. Nick described this scene as “he hurried the phrase ‘educated at Oxford’ or sallowed it , or chocked on it , as though it had bothered him before.” ]]> 2019-04-08 18:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349644956 Chapter 4 Gatsby’s Credibilities https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349645015 MOST:
Out of all of Gatsby's explanations about his past I found the war the most believable. Gatsby had souvenirs from the war and that is proof that he was in the war. Gatsby also talks a lot more about the war than he does other things.
LEAST: 
Out of Gatsby's explanations about his past, I think the least believable story is about the traveling he did. I don’t actually think he went to all the places he said that he did. I also don’t believe that Nick believed him either, because he said that when Gatsby told him that he had to try very hard not to laugh.]]> 2019-04-08 18:03:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349645015 Ch. 4 Gatsy’s Credibility https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349645117 I find the explanation of how he got his wealth to be the most believable. It makes sense because if someone’s family is wealthy, they usually inherit something when their parents die. It makes perfect sense for Gatsby’s parents to have left him their wealth when they died. 
 
I find the explanation of where he was born to be the least believable. The Middle East is over near Egypt, which would put the Middle West nearer to the United States. But even if it would be in the United States, the Middle West of the United States is closer to Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, and Missouri. These states are nowhere near San Francisco, which would mean that he would have to be lying about that.

Gatsby acknowledges that many people have opinions and crazy stories about him, as he is a mysterious man. Having wanting Nick to have the best impression of him, Gatsby goes on to tell Nick about his alleged past. Most making sense, some not having credit behind them, Nick gathers an opinion on whether he wants to believe them or not— so have I. The one thing that Gatsby tells Nick that is most believable is, that he does or did indeed have family in the Middle West. The only part that is sketchy about his statement is that they are all dead, and that he got all of the money. The reason I believe it is true is because Nick never questions it, Gatsby says it with confidence, and several other sources have told Nick the same story. The one thing I find least believable about Gatsby’s past, is that he lived like a rajah in all capitals of Europe. The reason it’s least believable to me, is because he briefly mentions it and doesn’t give many details. He says he did it, and has no evidence to back it up. As a reader, I don’t know Gatsby well enough to trust his word, and from everything I’ve read about him so far, I’m not sure if I’m ever going to. ]]> 2019-04-08 18:05:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349646192 Chapter 4 Gatsby Credibility https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349646435 In chapter 4 of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gatsby is talking to Nick about his past life. One of the most believable story’s he tells is when he went to war, I find this one to be the most believable ones because when Gatsby seed the disbelief of Nicks face he pulls out a medal that shows where he was in the war. The most unbelievable thing is where Gatsby is talking about when he lived “... in all the capitals of Europe- Paris, Venice, Rome,-....” I find this to be the most unbelievable because he says that he grew up in San Francisco, if he grew up in San Francisco then why would he have moved all the way to the other side of the world?]]> 2019-04-08 18:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349646435 Ch. 4 Gatsby's Credibility https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349646698 The explanation from Gatsby I believe the most is, the souvenir from Oxford. I believe it because at the time it would be hard to fake something especially a photograph. I know if he would've showed me the same picture, it would have convinced me that he did attend Oxford.

The explanation I believe the least is that he is from the Mid-West. I don't believe so because he stated that he was from San Francisco, which is a city from the West coast of the united states.

I think for the time period that The Great Gatsby is set in it would be very hard for Gatsby to fake this picture. Now what I least believe even though Gatsby has "proof", this being that he received a medal from Montenegro, this is something that could be faked because all the medal is a ribbon attached to a metal. ]]> 2019-04-08 18:08:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349648268 Ch.4: Gatsby's Credibility https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349648284
What I find most believable is that Gastby is from the Midwest and his family died. Granted, I can't be entirely sure if his family was wealthy like he claims they were, but I do believe they lived in the Midwest and that they died. Upon being asked the exact place in the Midwest that his family lived, Gatsby answers "San Fransisco" without a second thought. (pg.65) Not only that, but when Gatsby discusses his family Nick notes that he had a solemn voice and saddened expression. (pg.65) One of the many things to look to to know if a person is lying is their facial expressions and tone of their voice. If he really did lose his family then his saddened behavior upon discussing them reflects this well.
What I don't believe though is his claim that he went to Oxford. When he says he went to Oxford, he says this phrase in a rushed manner, and he sounded almost doubtful in himself. (pg.65) Not only this, but later in the chapter Gatsby's aquaintence Mr. Wolfsheim claims that Gatsbt went to a college called Oggsford College in England. (pg. 72) While it's entirely possible he went to both colleges, I find it unlikely due to the timeline of events given to us by Jordan later in the chapter. ]]> 2019-04-08 18:08:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349648284 Chapter 4 Gatsby’s Credibility https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349648480 The most believable explanation of his past would be when he said “ I am the son of some wealthy people in the Middle West- all dead now”. I believe that this is the most believable explanation because it seems like the most honest out of the explanations, it did not really say that he stuttered or said it very fast. 
The explanation that I thought was a lie was about when he said “ I was brought up in America but educated at Oxford, because all my ancestors have been educated there for many years. It is a family tradition”. It then explains how he had hurried the phrase “educated at Oxford”, and it felt like it had bothered him by saying it. I just felt like he was hiding something and was just wanting people to know that he came from a well background of education. ]]> 2019-04-08 18:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349648480 https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349649029 Ch. 4 Gatsby’s Credibility 
In my opinion the most believable thing I found was when Gatsby talks about being in the war. He talks about his rank and story’s while he was in the war to me he seems so specific about that time and he even had a metal that he said the Montenegro people gave him so this is why I think this section is the most believe in my opinion. The least believable  is when Gatsby talks about how he lived like a rajah in the capitals of Europe. The reason I think that is not believable is because to be a prince over all those capitals and collecting jewels sounds like a fairy tale. ]]> 2019-04-08 18:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349649029 Gatsby's Credibility https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349649647 Gatsby's explanation about his past, that is most believable to me is the one where he speaks about is the one of Oxford. Which is where he had been educated at, in the Middle West. And to me it is the most believable because of Jordan Baker. She had mentioned it in the past of the first few chapters. And how she had heard it from others who would spoke and said rumours about Gatsby. But the most least believable explanation from Gatsby's past would be when he is telling Nick how he had gone to war. And lead a group of men to victory in just two days. Which to me it sounded like Gatsby had rehearsed it so many times, because he had included very specific details about it. ]]> 2019-04-08 18:10:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349649647 Gatsby’s Credibility https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349649979 When Gatsby has proof from Oxford and the war that is when it is most believeable for me because he talks about and the has proof about his topic and I think trust is a big thing ]]> 2019-04-08 18:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349649979 Ch. 4 Gatsby's Credibility sarah_byrd https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349652766 I find the explanation of how Gatsby got his money more believable to me because Gatsby says “my family all died and I came into a good deal of money” and with that his voice was solemn and it mentions how the memory still haunted him. The least explanation I find is when Gatsby says he went school at Oxford because all his ancestors went there and is was a family tradition. It mentioned that when Gatsby did say that he hurried the phrase “educated at Oxford.” It was like Gatsby choked on his words or that it bothered him. To me it seemed like Gatsby knew what he was going to say but just couldn’t get it out. Nick and Jordan also think Gatsby is lying, which makes me think he is probably lying about it too. It all comes together when Gatsby can’t really get the words out. ]]> 2019-04-08 18:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349652766 Ch. 4 Gatsby's Credibility https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349652876 I believe Gatsby’s war story the most, this is partially due to according to Nick the “authentic look of the medal”, and partially because back then stolen valor [pretending to have been a soldier or doing something important during the war] was a very big deal to WWI vets, and Gatsby more than likely would have been found out and jumped for lying. ]]> 2019-04-08 18:16:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349652876 https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349653138 During chapter four of the Great Gatsby by Francis Scott Fitzgerald, the mysterious man known as "Jay Gatsby" explains his unknown past to Nick. Jay Gatsby includes stories and actions that seem quite impossible. Perhaps the most believable event would have to be Gatsby living in all the capitals of Europe and hunting big game. Jay Gatsby goes on to show Nick a photo of him, in this photo skins of large animals are visible making this story more credible. The least believable story would have to be Jay Gatsby's military career. Gatsby explains how he commissioned in the Army as a 1st lieutenant. Due to my knowledge on military ranks I know that people first commission as 2nd Lieutenants.Jay Gatsby also explains how all the Allied nations awarded him a decoration.Not only is it difficult for a soldier to get a single decoration nonetheless a decoration for all the Allied nations.]]> 2019-04-08 18:16:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349653138 Ch. 4 Gatsby’s Credibility https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349654212 The explanation that I find the most believable is that Gatsby attended Oxford because of the picture he had with the other Oxford men for evidence. The explanation I found the least believable is the story of Gatsby’s life in Europe because of the vague details and the fact that he got his money from his family who are all supposedly dead. He declined to go into detail about his family and why they had money in the first place, continuing the sense of mystery about his past. ]]> 2019-04-08 18:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349654212 Ch. 4 Gatsby Credibility https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349655154 I think the most believable thing that Gatsby said to Nick was when he told him about the time he fought in the war. I think this because he showed Nick the Dog-tag. I think the most unbelievable part was when he told Nick about how he got his money.

A story most believable to me was the one where he talked about the war. That story was more believable to me because in “The Great Gatsby” Gatsby tells us a lot  of details about what happened, what he did, and what he saw during the war. Gatsby made it seem like he was really there. He even gave us numbers of things that was there. Another story that Gatsby told Nick in the book that I don’t think was believable was when he said that he went to Oxford for his education, because in the book Nick didn’t believe Gatsby either and he seemed to be a little skeptical about his story.]]> 2019-04-08 18:26:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349658397 Ch. 4 Gatsby's Credibility https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/349668359 I believe that the most believable explanation of Gatsby's past, is whenever Gatsby tells Nick that he came from a wealthy family and that he inherited their money after they passed. I think that this was the most believable of Gatsby's explanations because Nick notices Gatsby's tone of voice whenever he speaks about this, he states that it sounded "as if the memory of that sudden extinction of a clan still haunted him." Nick believes him because no one would lie about death.
I believe that the least believable explanation of Gatsby's past, would be whenever he tells Nick that he was educated at Oxford. I think that this was the least believable of Gatsby's explanations because everyone had speculations about Gatsby, even Jordan Baker. So Nick doesn't really believe him.

Some reasons why I believe that Gatsby's war story was real is that he showed evidence that he got a decoration from Montenegro, and when Gatsby told Nick to turn it over it had Gatsby's name and his title. Another reason why I believe that Gatsby was legit is that in Jordan's flashback she describes how she met Daisy and the young lieutenant which I think is Gatsby. This told me that Gatsby was an lieutenant as he said to Nick, "I accepted the commission as first lieutenant." So Gatsby did tell some truth and didn't lie about being an lieutenant. This was also connected when Jordan said to Daisy when she inquired Jordan about this man named Gatsby, and Daisy said this was a man she used to know so now Jordan was able to connect them together with the car passage. The last reason why I believe that Gatsby was in war is the rumor that Daisy tried to go say good bye to a soldier which I think is Gatsby. One reason why I don't believe he actually went to Oxford is that Mr. Wolfshiem told Nick that Gatsby went to Oggsford college in England, so Gatsby lied about going to Oxford but went to a different college that sounded as Oxford.

He had waited five years and bought a mansion where he dispensed starlight to casual moths — so that he could “come over” some afternoon to a stranger’s garden”. Nick then realize that he waited for five whole years just to be able to visit him while Daisy was there and coincidentally be in the same place at the same time with Daisy.

"Why of course you can!" "I'm going to fix everything just the way it was before," "she'll see." After hearing what nick said, Gatsby shot up with ideas to make Daisy happy with him again.

He's been pursuing the affections of Daisy Buchanan, who lives across the lake with her husband Tom. There is a green light on her dock that Gatsby has always admired because it was a symbol of not having her yet. On page 93, Gatsby finally has Daisy at his side. Nick examines that: "Possibly it had occured to him that the colossal significance of the light had now vanished forever." (pg.93) and "Now it was again a green light on a dock. His count of enchanted objects had diminished by one." (pg.93) Gatsby is, by no means, saddned at this. He has Daisy now, after all.

Scott Fitzgerald has an aha moment when speaking to Gatsby about his feelings for Daisy. "I was reminded of something--an elusive rhythm, a fragment of lost words, that I had heard somewhere a long time ago. For a moment a phrase tried to take shape in my mouth and my lips parted like a dumb man's, as though there was more struggling upon them than a wisp of startled air." This excerpt shows how Nick is at a loss of words as he finally understands how he connects to Gatsby, but he couldn't find the words to describe this. Nick has realized the link between Gatsby and his life left behind. He see's all these occurrences through the communication between him and Gatsby.

An example of contrast and contradiction would be of Gatsby. He is very overwhelmed, and excited, the day before, to finally get to see and meet with Daisy. But as the day comes, and he is sitting in Tom's house with Daisy, he starts to panic and get very clumsy. Which causes him to drop the clock, and then after a while out of no where he pulls Nick aside and starts to discuss, and tell him what a terrible plan this was. Just like in the following quote " He followed me wildly into the kitchen, closed the door, and whispered: 'Oh, God!' in a miserable way."

Things seem to change on page 44 because the girls are gossiping about some rumors they had heard "someone told me they thought he killed a man once." although that wasn't the only rumor they heard they were all as vicious as that one. Later in pages 100-101 we find out all the money that Gatsby inherited wasn't inherited from his rich family but instead from Cody " a legacy of twenty-five thousand dollars." Nick finally has that AHA moment when he realizes that Gatsby isn't at all what he thinks he is, and plays mind tricks with people in order to get pity from them.]]> 2019-04-11 00:04:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350588676 https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350589192 Myrtle’s Development (pg.147)
In F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, in chapter 7 a contrast and contradiction happens when Wilson locks up Myrtle because he finds out about the affair between Myrtle and Tom.

Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Gatsby experiences a moment of contrast and contradiction when Daisy states that she can’t say she doesn’t love Tom because she loved both him and Gatsby. When Gatsby is arguing with Tom that Daisy never loved him in the five years of their marriage, Gatsby is shocked to find out that Daisy did in fact love her husband at one point. Gatsby is shocked because he has believed for several years that Daisy was unhappy with Tom and was waiting for Gatsby to come back into her life. He states earlier in the novel to Nick that he believes it is possible to recreate their past relationship (110), but after this revelation, he is not as sure. ]]> 2019-04-11 00:27:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350592893 Nick's Development Page (page 48 &49) https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350594461 In F.

Scott Fitzgerald's book The Great Gatsby, Nick's development throughout The  Great Gatsby is suspicion because all the people he knows is keeping secrets about their past, Nick truly believes he's a person who comprehends fully of honesty on page 59.  Gatsby is hiding the truth from Nick, the readers do not know exactly why he lies to Nick but as Gatsby says, "I was brought up in America but educated at Oxford because all my ancestors have been educated there for many years. Its a family tradition." this was unsettling to Nick because of Gatsby choked on the phrase "educated at Oxford. " Nick gets the impression that Dan Cody is significant towards Gatsby from a younger photograph.  Why does Nick mention the truth about Gatsby's life on pg. 98-101 when telling the readers this before, he was told the truth by Gatsby himself until later in the novel?

In Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, A contrast and contradiction in chapter 5 is when Gatsby revealed to Nick where he really came from, he came from unsuccessful farmers in the west. Chapter 4 on page 65 it gives us a description of where we thought he came from a big deal of money in the Middle West. Us as readers would’ve never thought that Gatsby came from unsuccessful farmers because he’s so wealthy now. We also wouldn’t have thought that he would like to Nick about his past. ]]> 2019-04-11 01:26:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350606088 Nick’s Development (pgs. 44, 86-90, 109 & 110) https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350607146 In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway has a change in judgment towards every single one of the characters throughout the novel, but especially towards Jay Gatsby. At first, Nick believes that Gatsby 
 is just a wealthy man who is very mysterious, but then as he gets to know him better, he comes to understand that Gatsby is a man who lives in the past. For example, in chapter 3, when Nick is formally invited to Nick’s house party, he goes and he hears all the rumors and speculations said about Gatsby, such as “he killed a man” or that “he was a German spy during the war”. Nick hears all these theories but he has not met Gatsby personally, so he doesn’t want to believe everyone’s assumptions. Whenever he does meet Gatsby he greatly admires his smile and his personality. Gatsby and Nick become close and he begins to tell him about his past, he also knows about Gatsby’s and Daisy’s past relationship. In Chapter 6, after Gatsby has reunited with Daisy he is hanging around with Tom Buchanan and Gatsby wants Daisy to admit that she has never loved Tom, so she can runaway with Gatsby and make a life of their own. Nick has changed his perspective on Gatsby based on how he has gotten to know him. ]]> 2019-04-11 01:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350607146 https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350612178 #Jeasouly (pg.133)

Scott Fitzgerald's book The Great Gatsby, I think an example of contrast and contradictions that Nick experiences and now views differently is that he moves into New York City he expects of being able to become part of the upper class. His view of the upper class changes gradually throughout the book because as he sees the events of the wealthy unfold, he begins to start seeing the horrible and corrupted lives that the wealthy lead. Some examples of this in The Great Gatsby is that he sees the contrast between their personality's and priorities like how Gatsby acts like a honest man, rich party host and being friendly with Nick, but it reality this was all so that he can attract Daisy to his house. This shows how the wealthy are willing to do anything and not caring about others if they aren't part of what they are trying to achieve. To sum it up, Nick now sees how the wealthy lead their life, how they earn their wealth due to illegal dealings, and use it to influence other's decisions like on (Pg.83) Gatsby tells of how he can give Nick some money if he accepted the deal of being supported by his illegal business]]> 2019-04-11 02:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350620261 Nick's Development (pg.87) https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350622035 A contrast and contradiction moment in the book "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald is when Nick doesn't want to believe Gatsby, but yet Nick ends up helping Gatsby get with Daisy by inviting Daisy over for tea. In the beginning of book, Nick didn't want to believe all of his stories Gatsby told Nick. All he thought was that Gatsby was just trying to make up stories about himself. So in the beginning, I didn't expect Nick to become close to Gatsby and help him get Daisy. But he does. For example, Nick says, "You're just embarrassed, that's all... Daisy's embarrassed too.".. "Just as much as you are," to Gatsby because he was nervous. ]]> 2019-04-11 02:45:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350622035 Gatsby’s Development (64-70) https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350623702  In the great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald,  Gatsby himself is described as a man who is closed off and does not like to reveal his feelings, or may not even want to be around people.

He doesn’t believe a thing that Gatsby has said to him at all. In fact, the whole ordeal makes him skeptical about pretty much everything that Gatsby says. This continues with Nick not believing a thing that Gatsby says, until Gatsby shows him a picture of himself in Montenegro. After Nick is shown this picture of Gatsby, he immediately changes his views and starts to believe some of the things that Gatsby says. ]]> 2019-04-11 03:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350625138 #love (pg 119) https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350625428 2019-04-11 03:04:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350625428 #LoveVsMarriage (133) https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350627067 2019-04-11 03:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350627067 #self-discovery cyang7015 https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350627455 2019-04-11 03:14:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350627455 #jealousy page 116 https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350629805 2019-04-11 03:29:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350629805 #memory(128) https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350630825 2019-04-11 03:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350630825 Contrast and Contradiction https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/350632482 In chapter seven of The Great Gatsby by Francis Scott Fitzgerald Nick is shown contradicting himself towards the end of the chapter.

You were a great man, a man of many trades and a man of many great ideas. If you were still here I believe with my whole heart that you would have made this world a better place. You were a war veteran, a lover, a passionate friend and a host to many that will never forget the memories of your endless parties and you’re sense of humor that is still in the air with us as I speak. Gatsby was not only my friend but my mentor and he guided me to the right path when I was straying from it. He lead me to realize things about myself that noone else could and I thank him for that.

I’ve never met a man quite like Jay, worried about every detail for every occasion. He is worrying about this speech I’m giving right now. It’s a shame so many of his beloved friends and business partners couldn’t be here to say goodbye. I don’t know much of their friendship, but I’m positive Dan Cody is pleased to have him along his side again. Jay was a selfless man, he threw many celebratory parties for those who surrounded him. He had a loving, bright future ahead of him; I’m astonished he is gone so soon. May his soul live on with the memories we have made. So long, old sport, you will be dearly missed. ]]> 2019-04-12 17:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351261496 Gatsby’s Eulogy https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351264483 Many of us  people believed to have known Gatsby , but we didn’t. We always believed the rumors of him and doubted all he’d say. As i meet Gatsby i met another side of him most haven’t had the luck too. Gatsby was great in the way he was to able to obtain such a mansion and wealth , we all wanted. He was able to success all by himself. Gatsby family was poor but he was ambitious to be better and obtain wealth. Many rumors were always said about him , some that i even believed and was doubtful about , but none of us ever got to clarify if they were true or not. Everyone of us is still clueless of his past , fortune , family , and how he obtained so much wealth. We were also clueless if he did “kill a man” or if he was doing something illegal to obtain money. But we do know he loved Daisy and always will. Gatsby won’t be out staring  into the sky looking for the green light giving him hope anymore.  Gatsby will always be in our hearts.  ]]> 2019-04-12 18:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351264483 RIP Gatsby sarah_byrd https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351264587 I am truly at a loss for words, how can you speak about someone like Gatsby? Gatsby was a worrier, I bet you right now, instead of resting he is worrying about this eulogy. Gatsby was a friend, a lover, a war hero, and a mysterious individual. Not many people had the opportunity that I had in truly getting to know Gatsby as a person. I believe he was my friend and I was his only real friend. Many people had speculations about who was as a man but no one truly knew him. I remember when I first met him, I couldn't stop admiring his smile, his smile was genuinely real and understanding, I also remember him saying "Old Sport" in various occasions. I remember how ambitious he was about love, as well. Old Sport, if you're listening, I miss you! You were truly the great Gatsby!]]> 2019-04-12 18:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351264587 Nick’s Eulogy to Jimmy Gatz [Gatsby] https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351264668 I didn’t know didn’t know what to think of Gatsby at first. I would only see his shadowy figure standing, staring at me through his third story window. I imagine Gatsby saw me as a friend, or at least I hope he did, but hey, you never knew with him. [Flips to next page] One of Gatsby’s most enticing features was that if you truly knew him, you’d think he’s the most deceitful liar in the city, and the greatest man on the planet at the same time. Gatsby had so much potential before he was taken from this world, and I imagine he could have done so much more with his life had he gotten the chance. [Flips to next page] What made Gatsby great was how he believed He STRIVED. He accomplished things that no man of his original stature could have dreamed of doing. That’s.. that’s what I really think made Gatsby different from most people. He dreamed, and he did what he saw in those dreams. [Flips to next page] So in the end, I do believe I believed in the dream that was; Gatsby. ]]> 2019-04-12 18:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351264668 # Memory (pg. 172-173) https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351267814 2019-04-12 18:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351267814 Fitzgerald’s use of Figurative Language https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351274024 In the Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald uses figurative language very often. The way he uses figurative language contributes to the novels artistry by making the things people say seem more imaginable. When reading The Great Gatsby, there is a lot of figurative language that makes you think about what they mean, sometimes you have to picture it in your head to better understand what he means. Overall, the way Fitzgerald uses figurative language makes the novel more interesting to read.  ]]> 2019-04-12 18:24:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351274024 Fitzgerald’s use of Figurative Language https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351274282 Fitzgerald uses figurative language in the novel to create a theme for the novel. Fitzgerald uses simile to describe the two subjects together. He compares their actions or the scene to something else. Fitzgerald uses  paradox to make state a statement that seems false. Jordan said the exact opposite of how a big party and small party, this leads to the readers thinking that she may be lying. ]]> 2019-04-12 18:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351274282 Fitzgerald’s use of figurative language https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351274373 The way Fitzgerald uses figurative language in the Great Gatsby is to make something seem more important or interesting or to ask the reader rhetorical questions to make the reader see the way a character is thinking and acting.  Fitzgerald likes to compare things with metaphors and similes a lot to give something a semblance of elegance and or the opposite to drag out how something should be or is like .]]> 2019-04-12 18:25:34 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351274373 Figurative Language https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351274973 In Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby he often uses imagery and metaphor to describe a scene and the books characters. On page 17 he says "Inside, the crimson room bloomed with light." This uses both imagery and metaphor to describe the room to us. It uses imagery by telling us the room is a crimson shade, and he uses metaphor by saying the room was "blooming." This helps immerse us in the story's world. The way he describes the European shirts Gatsby owns on page (pg.92) and the valley of ashes in chapter 2 makes us feel like we're really there.]]> 2019-04-12 18:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351274973 Figurative Language https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351275415 Fitzgerald's way of use of figurative language such as metaphors, and rethorical question is for the use of the reader to comprehend and visualize what a certain character thinks, feels, or says to express themselves.

The main character Nick uses many examples of imagery when meeting new people and seeing new places. The most obvious symbolism made from Fitzgerald is Dr. Eckleburg. Who views the over the city with his spectacles. Fitzgerald also uses symbolism with the materialistic items that Gatsby and the Buchannans have.]]> 2019-04-12 18:35:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351278386 Fitzgerald's use of Figurative Language https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351282052 In F. Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby he uses figurative language like imagery, similes, personifications, and metaphors to help visualize the characters descriptions, actions, and emotion. One example that can support Fitzgerald's use of figurative language is when the characters like Daisy says, "I love to see you at my table, Nick. You remind me of a—of a rose, an absolute rose." Another example is when Fitzgerald shows figurative language is when he shows Daisy crying and describes her actions by saying, "Daisy bent her head into the Shirts and began to cry stormily." Fitzgerald's use of figurative language emphasizes the characters image and character.]]> 2019-04-12 18:44:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351282052 #memory (pg 170-171) https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351285246 2019-04-12 18:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351285246 Figurative language https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351297906 In F.Scott Fitzgerald’s novel “The Great  Gatsby “ ,he uses both techniques of Imagery and symbolism to illustrate corruption ,the American dream ,and possession.Throughout the chapter Gatsby indicates that  the green light is the barrier between him in Daisy ;the symbolism being  hopes and the American Dream.The valley of ashes mention in chapter 2,indicates wealth and poverty.There also imagery in chapter while describing the valley of ashes as a land of emptiness.The weather in chapter 7 tends to get hotter ,this symbolizes emotions getting heated .]]> 2019-04-12 19:35:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351297906 Ch. 8 Fitzgerald's use of Figurative Language smath8797 https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351328819 Fitzgerald's use of figurative language contributes to the artistry The Great Gatsby by describing this imaginative atmosphere for readers so they get a sense of connecting with Gatsby's dreams. Literary techniques used by Fitzgerald include symbolism and imagery. These devices help readers discover hidden problems In civilization through character personality. An example of the incomprehensible imagery on pg (151) Nick Carraway says "For Dasiy was young and her artificial world was redolent of orchids and pleasant, cheerful snobbery and orchestras which set the rhythm of the year, summing up the sadness and suggestiveness of life of new tunes" Fitzgerald uses also use a symbol of billboard of Doctor T. J Ecklebrug  who was a symbol a pair of eyes that resembled god. I believe without imagery, personification, metaphors, symbols The Great Gatsby would only be a stagnate book. F. Scott Fitzgerald made the characters feel real from the descriptions of using literary devices encouraging the fantasies full of wealth and prosperity of the American Dream.     ]]> 2019-04-12 23:34:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351328819 Fitzgerald’s use of Figurative Language https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351330066 Fitzgerald’s use of Figurative Language helps us to picture actions. He uses personification and simile both help make it more understandable how Nick sees Daisy. He also uses personification towards the lawn to make us feel like it’s living at a sense. In the book Nick uses imagery to raise Gatsby’s story to a poem. I believe he uses all these types of Figurative Language to create a theme, make us readers feel a certain way about something. ]]> 2019-04-12 23:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351330066 Figurative Language https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351332373 In F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby, he uses figurative language to let the readers know how all the character's emotion are and how they are. One figurative language she uses in this book is hyperbole. He uses hyperbole to make the scene more intense and interesting to the readers. For example, in the book says, "At nine o'clock, one morning late in July, Gatsby's gorgeous car lunched up the rocky drive to my door and gave out a burst of melody from its three-noted horn." This is an example of hyperbole because he over exaggerated how gorgeous his cars was instead of just saying, "his car". Another figurative language he uses is personification. He uses personification to show the readers how they really feel at the moment. But instead of telling the readers straight up about how the characters feel, he makes it seem like  as if non humans have the ability to do things human can only do. For example, in the book also says, "Daisy began to sing with the music in a husky, rhythmic whisper, bringing out a meaning in each word that it had never had before and would never have again". ]]> 2019-04-13 00:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351332373 Chapter 8 Responses due midnight 4 sarah_byrd https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351332812 Figurative Language--How does Fitzgerald's use of figurative language contribute to the artistry of the novel?

I feel like since he used imagery it really helped to get a visual representation of what he was describing. Like in chapter 4 when they were describing Gatsby's car, they were really good at giving descriptive adjectives. Symbolism is used for figurative language as well. In chapter 2 Gatsby is saying how he sees a "green light" in the far as if it were the light at the end of someones dock.

Through the use of metaphors, Fitzgerald is able to compare seemingly ordinary people and objects to extraordinary things.

Scott Fitzgerald he uses many times in the book metaphors and rhetorical questions. He used the rhetorical questions to make you the reader think about what the speaker is asking and why they are staying it like they are. For example when Michaelis asks Mr. Wilson if he got married in a church in chapter 8, well of course he got married in a church but why did he ask it like this. He also uses metaphors to compare how things look and act but with out being so obvious about it and it makes you think how they are connected and why he used this to  describe it this way.]]> 2019-04-13 03:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351344487 #dissatisfaction(169) https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351410612 2019-04-13 21:55:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351410612 #Compassion (pg. 164-165)) smath8797 https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/351432911

I cannot even begin to describe how much this man meant to me. At first, couldn’t seem to understand why he would want to be my friend. But, because I seemed to be the only one to receive an actual invitation to one of his parties, I could only assume that he did actually want to be my friend. And indeed he was my friend. In fact, he was of the closest friends I have ever had. This man knew exactly how to keep himself a complete secret. Which made getting to know him a little bit difficult, but it didn’t take away from the friendship that we held. He loved very few people, but the people that he did love, he loved very well. Although he was very secretive and mysterious, he had this charm about him that no one could deny. He was very friendly, and acted as a friend to someone even if he did not know who a person was. This is what made him such a great man and what made his death a complete shock to us all. ]]> 2019-04-16 18:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_byrd/lmn79ibx3qj9/wish/352079482
