(Fitzgerald 58) https://padlet.com/adeboy/vdxgcuej0cpa/wish/133944165 Nick is saying this about Jordan Baker. This is a turning point because Nick is figuring out the type of people that he sees regularly and likes to be with.]]> 2016-10-28 16:25:53 UTC https://padlet.com/adeboy/vdxgcuej0cpa/wish/133944165 Daisy is saying this to Nick implying the kind of confidence she has and possibly the love and wit she has is what is so charming about her.  mcwampler https://padlet.com/adeboy/vdxgcuej0cpa/wish/133944368 2016-10-28 16:26:32 UTC https://padlet.com/adeboy/vdxgcuej0cpa/wish/133944368 Chapter 2 https://padlet.com/adeboy/vdxgcuej0cpa/wish/133944671 "The sister Catherine, was a slender, worldly girl of about thirty, with a solid, sticky bob of red hair, and a complexion powdered milky white." (Fitzgerald 30]]> 2016-10-28 16:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/adeboy/vdxgcuej0cpa/wish/133944671 Chapter One sydney_geis https://padlet.com/adeboy/vdxgcuej0cpa/wish/133944871 "Im glad it's a girl. And I hope she'll be a fool-- that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool." (Fitzgerald 17)

This quote shaped how Daisy thought about her child. Even though she said that she wants her daughter to be a fool she was sarcastic about it because thats how she will survive in their society.

"I keep it always full of interesting people, night and day.

He throws them hoping that one day Daisy will wonder in to the party and meet again. Daisy loves the house because it is fairly large and we see later in the chapter that she is kind of a "gold digger." mcwampler https://padlet.com/adeboy/vdxgcuej0cpa/wish/133945642 2016-10-28 16:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/adeboy/vdxgcuej0cpa/wish/133945642 Chapter 2 https://padlet.com/adeboy/vdxgcuej0cpa/wish/133946151 His wife was shrill languid, handsome and horrible.

"Five years next November." The automatic quality of Gatsby's answer set us all back at least another minute.

"Your wife don't love you, said Gatsby. She's never loved you. She loves me."
(Fitzgerald 130)

This is a turning point because it shows how much Gatsby changed over 5 years to be with her, and that their feelings never changed.

Sydney and Tori P]]> 2016-10-28 16:37:45 UTC https://padlet.com/adeboy/vdxgcuej0cpa/wish/133947632 This quote is very important, because is shows that Gatsby clearly has kept track of how long it has been since he's seen Daisy. This entire book is focused on the mystery of feelings between Gatsby and Daisy. They both know how they feel but can only show it to a certain extent due to Daisy being a married woman and Gatsby being from her past. mcwampler https://padlet.com/adeboy/vdxgcuej0cpa/wish/133947663 2016-10-28 16:37:51 UTC https://padlet.com/adeboy/vdxgcuej0cpa/wish/133947663 Gatsby tells Nick Driving home Daisy accidentally hit the woman named Wilson and killed her instantly.(Fitzgerald 143 https://padlet.com/adeboy/vdxgcuej0cpa/wish/133949169 2016-10-28 16:42:55 UTC https://padlet.com/adeboy/vdxgcuej0cpa/wish/133949169 Chapter 5 https://padlet.com/adeboy/vdxgcuej0cpa/wish/133982840 "The exhilarating ripple of her voice was a wild tonic in the rain. I had to follow the sound of it for a moment, up and down, with my ear alone, before any words came through."
