Why would Fitzgerald choose to make Tom's mistress a "free spirit" from the rougher part of town? (Think about what's going on in the 20's?) by Rebekah May

because he would spoil her like a sugar daddy and do lots for him to make sure he is happy

because she is poor and needy. e can use her, and get to her easily. She will also do anything to be with him and stay with him, for the money.

He was trying to show a bridge between the rich and poor of that time

Avery Long

because he has a lot of money and she doesnt have money, and his money will allow her to do what she pleases.

Bryce

Because she doesn't have money and hes rich so she will do what she must for him for the money.

Felicity

She is poor and she wants to make the most of life and Tom has money

Adam

Because she is poor and Tom is very rich

Alexis

because tom has to live to standards due to the fact of him being rich and being high in the community other than Myrtle who has no particular reason to be high in society so with tom having this free spirited girl, kinda shows a different part of him

Sam

00sdriscoll — 2016-11-03 17:07:00 UTC

because he wanted to go outside the box and inspire people

Spencer

He makes her be a free spirit because she is easy to get to. Her life is rough just like the town she lives in. Anybody who is rich most likely has their life together. She is willing to do anything and Tom digs that

More Americans lived in the city than on farms and the nations wealth doubled.

Fitzgerald wanted to show how Tom wanted to get away from the social norms for the upper class of rich people.

Zeus

She is poor and Tom is rich so she can do whatever she wants with him. She is also wild and Tom probably likes a wild girl.

Antoinette

00aaburto — 2016-11-03 17:07:19 UTC

Because Tom has a lot of money and she wants to make the most of her life and tom has standards to live up too.

sie ist arm, aber frei von Herzen

( she is poor but free in heart )

Kathleen

Tom is very rich and she is poor and Tom can convince her to do anything.

Tom wants to be free and Myrtle is even though she is a women and poor.

It is the great depression and Fitzgerald is showing how desperate people were for money during that time period.

Jordan

00jgress — 2016-11-03 17:07:37 UTC

to show that poorer women could do more than women or people who were richer of higher status.
