What is ironic about Gatsby's appraisal of Jordan https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/tjcb26wr81l6/wish/277420164 Jay Gatsby tells Nick he admires Jordan's honesty.

What do we learn about Daisy's early relationship with Gatsby https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/tjcb26wr81l6/wish/277421730 When she was eighteen, Daisy had a brief relationship with Gatsby before he left to fight in the war.

Daisy's family did not allow her to go say goodbye to Gatsby when he finally left, so she stopped talking to her family for two weeks. She promised to wait for Gatsby but instead Daisy became engaged twice and married Tom Buchanan in Gatsby's absence.]]> 2018-09-04 04:55:43 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/tjcb26wr81l6/wish/277421730 How is Gatsby's Dream a Corruption of the American Dream? https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/tjcb26wr81l6/wish/277422120 When Nick says "Then it had been merely the starts to which he has aspired on that June night" he is referring to the dream that Gatsby longs for and how unreachable it is. ]]> 2018-09-04 04:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/tjcb26wr81l6/wish/277422120
