In the fact that he got his money in unmoral ways. Also when he does not get Daisy do you lose sympathy because of the way he did it. ]]> 2017-03-08 14:51:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dnromay/pz7bs892aymn/wish/158674203 I was surprised to see the relationship Gatsby and daisy had to end so suddenly. I know she loved Tom, but i feel like she just uses him purely for his status. https://padlet.com/dnromay/pz7bs892aymn/wish/158674213 2017-03-08 14:51:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dnromay/pz7bs892aymn/wish/158674213 I was surprised that Gatsby ended up dying because Wilson shot him. I kinda expected him to not be around forever, but this what not how I expected it to end https://padlet.com/dnromay/pz7bs892aymn/wish/158674219 2017-03-08 14:51:56 UTC https://padlet.com/dnromay/pz7bs892aymn/wish/158674219 I was surprised about how much Tom freaked out when he found out Daisy loved Gatsby. Since he was the one who had been cheating in the relationship. Then Daisy was the one who loved Gatsby before she ever met Tom. https://padlet.com/dnromay/pz7bs892aymn/wish/158674330 2017-03-08 14:52:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dnromay/pz7bs892aymn/wish/158674330 https://padlet.com/dnromay/pz7bs892aymn/wish/158674423 “...the gardener saw Wilson’s body a little way off in the grass, and the holocaust was complete.” (Fitzgerald 173).
Why does Fitzgerald use the word holocaust?]]> 2017-03-08 14:52:27 UTC https://padlet.com/dnromay/pz7bs892aymn/wish/158674423 https://padlet.com/dnromay/pz7bs892aymn/wish/158674426 I found it interesting that Gatsby expected Daisy to drop everything to be with him. He wanted her to tell Tom he never loved her and to lie.
