Syntax is used very well along side Diction to create conversations between Gatsby and Daisy and Nick that really show how awkward and uncomfortable the conversations were at first. however it also is used to show how the awkwardness is gone as soon as nick gets back from sitting outside. when he walks back inside he is surprised to see that they are talking normally and Daisy even has tears on her eyes. the syntax and diction in this chapter sets the mood and tone for the whole chapter. ]]> 2020-11-17 12:28:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lmdixon3/v4opwkv0izufc9h6/wish/931337747 lmdixon3 https://padlet.com/lmdixon3/v4opwkv0izufc9h6/wish/931338292 " For half a minute there wasn't a sound. then from the living room I heard a sort of choking murmur and part of a laugh, followed by Daisy's voice on a clear artificial note. "I certainly am awfully glad to see you again" a pause, it endured horribly."

"not only that, but you're rude. Daisy's sitting in there all alone". he raised his hand to stop my words, looked at me with unforgettable reproach, and, opening the door cautiously, went back into the other room" P90 P1]]> 2020-11-17 12:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lmdixon3/v4opwkv0izufc9h6/wish/931338689 lmdixon3 https://padlet.com/lmdixon3/v4opwkv0izufc9h6/wish/931339668 this chapter is very important to the development of the theme in the book. it is also very important for the reader to understand Gatsby more than before. instead of showing him as just a mysterious rich guy, it shows how he really wants Daisy to like him. during this chapter, Gatsby is very nervous to talk to her because he does not want to mess anything up. he begins to judge all of the things in his home just based on how Daisy reacts to them. He was happy to show off his huge house to her. Nick felt like a third wheel this chapter and was really only there to invite Daisy. and to supply the snacks. after Nick left for a while, Gatsby and Daisy ended up talking and the awkwardness was broken and Daisy even started to cry. I'm not sure why she was crying but it might have to do with Tom]]> 2020-11-17 12:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lmdixon3/v4opwkv0izufc9h6/wish/931339668 lmdixon3 https://padlet.com/lmdixon3/v4opwkv0izufc9h6/wish/931340139 2020-11-17 12:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lmdixon3/v4opwkv0izufc9h6/wish/931340139
