He also doesn't have much money and his life revolves around his wife, which he loses in the end and has nothing but hatred for her presumed killer, Gatsby.]]> 2019-10-16 17:45:17 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_welsh1/q0k75yunfm43/wish/398625145 stacked clwszemyakj86 https://padlet.com/katie_welsh1/q0k75yunfm43/wish/398625148 I think the deck is stacked against Daisy because throughout the book no one sees how truly aware or smart she is and the rest of the characters don't pay much attention. At the end of the book or rather cht 7 and cht 8 she killed Myrtle so now shes o the run. ]]> 2019-10-16 17:45:17 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_welsh1/q0k75yunfm43/wish/398625148 The deck is stacked clwacostaa81 https://padlet.com/katie_welsh1/q0k75yunfm43/wish/398625698 I think the deck is stacked towards Gatsby since he wants to be with Daisy and can't since Tom. Gatsby is more of an interesting character and more mysterious so we would like to know more about him. Then we find out he's just some guy. Then he's dead now so.. yikes.]]> 2019-10-16 17:45:58 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_welsh1/q0k75yunfm43/wish/398625698 Gatsby clwmaxwella07 https://padlet.com/katie_welsh1/q0k75yunfm43/wish/398626412 I think the deck is stacked against Gatsby because Gatsby lies throughout the book to get his way around. He makes up his own story as if hes in his own world/allusion by saying he was rich but actually came from a poor family and migrated too west egg.

Gatsby went after a married women and myrtle went after a married man. George is a nice guy and it is not his fault that his wife wasn't happy with him. He did not cheat on her she just stopped liking him. He is a hardworking guy, he shot gatsby because he thought gatsby killed his wife and honestly that is not a surprising response for somebody whos grieving and i know a lot of people who would do the same thing.]]> 2019-10-16 17:48:43 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_welsh1/q0k75yunfm43/wish/398627562 Myrtle's odds are stacked against her because she was targeted at the end and died when daisy ran her over with a car, with an affair with Tom that wasn't going anywhere, and accusations from her husband that made her feel trapped as a woman. clwkostrzewak55 https://padlet.com/katie_welsh1/q0k75yunfm43/wish/398627592 2019-10-16 17:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_welsh1/q0k75yunfm43/wish/398627592 STACKED THE DECK clwhoggardn41 https://padlet.com/katie_welsh1/q0k75yunfm43/wish/398628930 Like Kiara said Myrtle definitely had the cards stacked against her. 1st she cheating with a guy that dont even love her. 2nd she deserved to get hit by that car cause, it was at that moment Myrtle knew she messed up]]> 2019-10-16 17:50:15 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_welsh1/q0k75yunfm43/wish/398628930 Deck stacked against Gatsby clwguardiagarciam08 https://padlet.com/katie_welsh1/q0k75yunfm43/wish/398633941 I think the deck is stacked against Gatsby because he tried so hard to get the love of Daisy but he couldn't since Tom was in between them and he declared himself as guilty of the car accident.]]> 2019-10-16 17:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_welsh1/q0k75yunfm43/wish/398633941 The deck is stacked against gatsby clwwhittakerm52 https://padlet.com/katie_welsh1/q0k75yunfm43/wish/398634076 The deck is stacked against gatsby because he lies throughout the book saying that he's rich when he really isn't and he still has love for daisy but he can't really express it because she's still married to Tom. ]]> 2019-10-16 17:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_welsh1/q0k75yunfm43/wish/398634076 Myrtle-stacked against clwdavisa89 https://padlet.com/katie_welsh1/q0k75yunfm43/wish/398638793 I think the deck is stacked against Myrtle because she get hits by Daisy and dies.
