Why? 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2148649690 The character that I like/can identify with is Nick Carraway. I like Nick Carraway because he's a hard worker, independent and intellegent. ]]> 2022-04-19 14:08:40 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2148649690 question 2: Do you have any questions so far? If not, what predictions do you have for what will happen to these characters? 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2148650530 I feel like Nick Carraway will meet Gatsby. But other then that I have no other questions.]]> 2022-04-19 14:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2148650530 question 1: Search up all the images of Jay Gatsby. Paste the one you think looks most like him and explain why. 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2148652065 2022-04-19 14:10:02 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2148652065 question 2: Include one brief description from this chapter that you found interesting. 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2148652759 In chapter two, Nick attends a party. There was a big fight that happened between Tom and Myrtle. It was so bad because Tom ended up breaking Myrtles nose. Myrtle was Tom's side piece. ]]> 2022-04-19 14:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2148652759 On page 48, Nick meets Gatsby for the first time. Fitzgerald writes that Gatsby has "one of those rare smiles ... [that] understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you are you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression fo you that, at your best, you hoped to convey"Who is a person in your life who has smiled or smiles at you in a way similar to that? How do you know this person? 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2149155868 A person in my life who has a smile that had such a great impression to me is my boyfriend. He has such a beautiful smile and its always lights up the room. ]]> 2022-04-19 19:21:11 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2149155868 Gatsby's car is described here (page 64). Please find an image of this type of car and post it up. Is this a kind of car you'd have interest in driving? Why or why not? 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2149156185 I do think its a pretty cool car so I would drive something like this just for fun but not for an every day car because old cars dont really have a lot of protection. ]]> 2022-04-19 19:21:26 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2149156185 If you were Nick would you have arranged the tea between Daisy and Jay? Why or why not? 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2149156515 If I was Nick I would have arranged the tea party between Daisy and Jay because I feel as though Jay is so in love with Daisy that he would treat her way better then Tom would. Tom treats Daisy so badly and it would be great seeing Daisy and Jay together. Plus it seems like Daisy is just so much happier when she is with Jay.]]> 2022-04-19 19:21:41 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2149156515 Both Gatsby's party and New York City are described here. Please include a couple of images of 1920's New York or 1902's mansions or fancy parties of the 1920's that you find interesting looking. 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2149157305 2022-04-19 19:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2149157305 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2150903334 I feel like this picture looks the most like Jay Gatsby because he was that character in the movie. ]]> 2022-04-20 19:26:38 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2150903334 Attached is a film clip of recapping page 74-78- in your opinion, what is the most important detail included in BOTH Fitzgerald's writing and this film version? Why? 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2164239932 The things that were the same in the movie and the book is that jordan had met Gatsby 5 years earlier when him and daisy were together before he had left. ]]> 2022-04-29 12:52:52 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2164239932 Why do you think Daisy cried about the shirts? It seems an odd thing to cry over. What does it mean, do you think? 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2164246493 She says thats shes never seen such beautiful shirts before menaing they could just look so good that she thought thwy were so beautiful and cried over them, or that Daisy is a gold digger and she is crying over material goods and fine clothing makes her feel affection towards Gatsby. ]]> 2022-04-29 12:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2164246493 Ultimately, what does Gatsby want from Daisy? 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2169833272 Daisy and Gatsby are in a bit of love, even though it was lost a while back 5 years ago. He wants Daisy to admit to Tom she doesnt love him as much as she loves Gatsby. ]]> 2022-05-04 12:41:10 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2169833272 What is something that happened in your past that- if given the chance- you'd like to do differently? Why? 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2169833637 Yes there are many things I would love to change in my past like the friends I gave my trust to or past relationships. Or how my past relationship with my mom was. I would love to have kept her trust but I was a bad kid when I was younger. ]]> 2022-05-04 12:41:25 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2169833637 Include at least ONE question you have about this chapter? If you have more, please include them all. 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2169841197 Why didnt Nick bring up Tom's affair with that other girl? I just dont understand why Nick doesnt try and help the situation at all. ]]> 2022-05-04 12:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2169841197 One over looked moment in this chapter is that Nick turns 30. He says "Thirty- the promise of a decade of lonliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning briefcase of enthusiam, thinning hair" (135). What do you image your life to be like at 30? 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2169841462 I feel like I would be pretty set off in my thritys. Working hard to pursue what I need to do in the future and make the most money I could. ]]> 2022-05-04 12:46:34 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2169841462 Please re-read the section on page 148 (or page 155) starting with the lines "She was the first 'nice' girl he had every known" THROUGH "Daisy, gleaming like silver, safe and proud above the hot stuggles of the poor." What do we learn about the beginning of Jay and Daisy's relationship and how does this tell us about how Gatsby feels about her? 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2177562386 I think Gatsby was overall also obsessed with Daisy. But Daisy just seems like she cares more about herself and money. Gatsby finds Daisy desireable. Whike Gtsby was at war she wanted him by her, she had wanted his pressence close to her while away on his despair. Gatsby was a captain ]]> 2022-05-10 13:08:02 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2177562386 Where you surprised by the ending of this chapter? Explain why or why not? (Remember, my goal is to see if you actually read this chapter.) 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2177569153 I was really surprised with what happened in chapter eight because I was really expecting Daisy to go with Gatsby because I had thought they were cute for each other and that he would treat her better than Tom.But at the end of the chapter Gatsby was floating dead in the pool. It was surprising because Gtasby was just waiting for that one phone call. ]]> 2022-05-10 13:12:03 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2177569153 Nick runs into Tom Buchanan again on page 178 ( or page 186) and says they are "careless people." What does he mean by this? 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2181261542 He means that they are careless becuase they didnt even appear at the funeral. Daisy didnt even send a flower or a note showing she cared about his death.]]> 2022-05-12 13:32:47 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2181261542 Overall, what is your expereince iwth reading this novel outside of class? Was it as challenging as you thought it would be to find the time to read/listen to it? Did you enjoy the novel at all? 3001006 https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2181264189 It was pretty challenging because i can barely pay attention let alone the company of my home. I did find time to read it but it was just challenging to stay focused. ]]> 2022-05-12 13:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/3001006/vf1pgupyeulnb6cq/wish/2181264189
