She is a distant cousin to Nick Carraway. Daisy´s occupation is a housewife. ]]> 2021-04-21 17:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ecfonseca100/q893iflchs1rj2pr/wish/1443808152 ecfonseca100 https://padlet.com/ecfonseca100/q893iflchs1rj2pr/wish/1443876259 Daisy resides in a luxurious estate with her husband. Nick describes their beautiful property as,¨Their house was even more elaborate than I expected, a cheerful red and white Georgian Colonial mansion overlooking the bay. The lawn started at the beach and ran toward the front door for a quarter of a mile, jumping over sun-dials and brick walks and burning gardens—finally when it reached the house drifting up the side in bright vines as though from the momentum of its run,¨(9). ]]> 2021-04-21 17:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ecfonseca100/q893iflchs1rj2pr/wish/1443876259 ecfonseca100 https://padlet.com/ecfonseca100/q893iflchs1rj2pr/wish/1443894497 When talking to her cousin Nick Carraway, Daisy complains about her marital problems. Shortly after, she ends the conversation abruptly with a smile and changes the topic. Daisy´s urgency to discuss another topic suggests that Daisy is obviously troubled by her husband´s affairs. However, she refuses to divorce him because having a wealthy life is the priority. ]]> 2021-04-21 18:02:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ecfonseca100/q893iflchs1rj2pr/wish/1443894497 ecfonseca100 https://padlet.com/ecfonseca100/q893iflchs1rj2pr/wish/1443895171 One of Daisy´s significant quotes throughout The Great Gatsby is when she mentions her daughter. She sadly ponders about her future and says,¨And I hope
she’ll be a fool—that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool,¨ (20). Daisy´s hopes for her daughter reflect on her own views on the world. To her, independence for a woman means dealing with hardships, whereas living a life of ignorance brings happiness. ]]> 2021-04-21 18:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ecfonseca100/q893iflchs1rj2pr/wish/1443895171
