The Great Gatsby by Charity Seeley https://padlet.com/charityseeley/rqsawh6nbt4ic3cx en-us 2022-11-17 18:32:02 UTC 2025-06-10 12:42:45 UTC hello@padlet.com Chapter 1 charityseeley https://padlet.com/charityseeley/rqsawh6nbt4ic3cx/wish/2388851675 "I am still a little afraid of missing something if I forget that, as 
my father snobbishly suggested, and I snobbishly repeat, a sense of the fundamental decencies is parcelled out unequally at birth."

I would get Nick a very boring and plain watch as a gift because he is not a very unique person. The quote to me kind of makes him seem just like every other person who bickers with their family.

And although she is clearly unhappy in her relationship, she is forcing herself to stay because of her religion and it can't be easy. I think flowers would just make her day.

“You see,” cried Catherine triumphantly. She lowered her 
voice again. “It’s really his wife that’s keeping them apart. 
She’s a Catholic, and they don’t believe in divorce.”

"She was incurably dishonest. She wasn’t able to endure being at a disadvantage and, given this unwillingness, I 
suppose she had begun dealing in subterfuges when she was 
very young in order to keep that cool, insolent smile turned to 
the world and yet satisfy the demands of her hard, jaunty body."

"His name was Jay Gatsby, and I didn’t lay eyes on him again for over four years — even after I’d met him on Long Island I didn’t realize it was the same man." ]]> 2022-11-29 19:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/charityseeley/rqsawh6nbt4ic3cx/wish/2402513796 Chapter 5 charityseeley https://padlet.com/charityseeley/rqsawh6nbt4ic3cx/wish/2405657818 I would get Daisy a time machine so she could go back and be with Gatsby. She is so upset about not waiting for him and now she's stuck with Tom.

"Daisy bent her head into the shirts and began 
to cry stormily. 
“They’re such beautiful shirts,” she sobbed, her voice 
muffled in the thick folds. “It makes me sad because I’ve never 
seen such — such beautiful shirts before.”

“She’s much obliged, I’m sure,” said another friend, without 
gratitude. “But you got her dress all wet when you stuck her 
head in the pool.” 
“Anything I hate is to get my head stuck in a pool,” mumbled 
Miss Baedeker. “They almost drowned me once over in New 
Jersey.” 
- I chose this quote to kind of resemble the chaos and the environment of Gatsby's parties.

“What happened?— that’s what I want to know.” 
“Auto hit her. Ins’antly killed.” 
“Instantly killed,” repeated Tom, staring. 
“She ran out ina road. Son-of-a-bitch didn’t even stopus car.” 
“There was two cars,” said Michaelis, “one comin’, one goin’, 
see?”

A new world, material without be-
ing real, where poor ghosts, breathing dreams like air, drifted 
fortuitously about ... like that ashen, fantastic figure gliding to-
ward him through the amorphous trees.

"I cannot come down now as I am tied up in some very 
important business and cannot get mixed up in this thing now."
