This car is important because this is Gatsby car. Gatsby left Daisy drive his car home from New York and she hit Myrtle and killed her. the ironic thing about this is that Myrtle was Tom mistress. These people don't take the blame for there actions. Daisy killed Myrtle but wont admit it because she doesn't want to go to jail or have something happen to her. Tom and Mr. Wilson think it is Gatsby. Nick advise Gatsby to leave town but he doesn't. Mr Wilson killed Gatsby because he thought it was him then killed himself. People in the 1920 didn't take responsibility or anything they just cared about them self.

"Well, there i was, way off my ambitions getting deeper in love every minute, and all if a sudden I didn't care"

Nick is realizing that they shouldn't care about thing that he cared about before.

Chapter 6

2008-03-10T09:01:00.000-07:00

This picture is significant because it symbolizes wealth and wealth is what Gatsby has always wanted. When Gatsby was a 17 year old boy he changed his nam from James Gatz to Jay Gatz. Jay Gatz is the one who like money and has a lot of expensive ting and extravagent parties. James Gatz on the other hand is the one who just loves the country and the quiet and the one who is always dreaming about wealth and wishes that he too could be rich. After meeting Dan Cody he gets to experience the finer things of life by goin on Dan's yacht and travelling over seas to many places. James Gatz parents were farm people. " James Gatz worked as a clam digger and a salmon fisher as well. He also had a lot of relationships with women.

The main oint of this chapter has to dow ith rumors and affairs. At Gatsby's party there are a lot of rumors that were said about him. Some say that he was a murderer. Others said that he earned his money from his dead family, but in fact no one even tried to talk to him to find out what he was really about. There are also a lot of affairs that occur throughout this chapter and the novel as well. the first affair that occurs is with Tom. He's having an affair with a mistress in New York that Daisy knows well about. Myrtle which is the name of Tom's mistress is in fact married. When Tom goes to meet with Myrtle he brings Nick along, knowing that him and Daisy are second cousins. Myrtle is also at fault as well becaus e Myrtle meets Tom and NIck at her house and introduces Tom to her husband, George Wilson. Another affair that occurs during the book is the affair that Daisy has with Gatsby. They end up meeting together at Nick's house, both knowing that Daisy is married to Tom.

"His imagination of his parents had never really accaepted them as his parentss at all" (pg. 104). This is significant because it shows that Gatsby was in fact ashamed of his parents and didn't like how they lived their lives and what they did to earn their money: they weren't "rich enough." They were farmers and it just didn't suit Gatsby enough to apprecaiate them.

"It was James Gatz who had been loafing alone the beach that afternoon in a torn green jersey and a pair of canvas pants but it was already Jay Gatsby who borrowed a row boat" (104). The significance of this is that James Gatz was to afraid to live the free life and was afraid of money and having fun and kept himself. But Jay Gatsby was the one who wanted to have fun and experiment with money and live free.

"...From Gatsby's parties this summer. There were the same people, or at least the same sort of people..." (110).

Everyone at the party ahd the same characteristics. They were all rich, gossiped and, they only cared about themselves.

"As though they cared" (108). This is signifiacnt because people make it seem like they care about what other people have to say or what they are talking about, but in reality, they only care abouth themselves and their own opinions and no one elses.

This picture is an example of a 1920's house and how bug they were for the rich people. The ones with the money got to live in nice house and have fancy things while the poeple with no money were struggeling to survive. Nick invites Daisy over to for tea but really Gatsby wants to see Daisy. Throught this chapter the weather is changing because of Gatsby and Daisy. Example of this is that when they first met it was raining out but later they realize that they both had feeling for each other they rain went away and the sun came out. Gatsby is the green chacter in the book because he is alive and has a good heart.

This picture shows how in 1919 the Worlds Series was fixed. Also this shows that if u have the right amount of money that you can buy or get anything yoou want. Nicks is at Gatsbys party where he meets many like; Leeches, Blockbuks, Ferrets, Bulls, Duckweeks. They all have animals names because they lack human emotion. This shows all these people at the party don't really care about anyone but them self. The animals names show34

"Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay"
This shows that Gatsby is still in love with Daisy from all these years.

" My family all died and I came into a good deal of money"
This shows how he became rich

" I am the son of some wealthy people in the middle-west"
This shows that Gatsby doesn't really care who he was born from but only cares that he got money and he is rich.

Chapter 3

2008-03-03T18:53:00.000-08:00

The picture to the right is an example off a character that we get introduced to us in chapter 3. Nick and Daisy find him in Gatsby's library amazed by all of his" real" books. Nick then calls him owl eyes. This is significant because this shows that names are not important to other people. It also, shows that they are too elf absorbed as well. Even though Nick refers to this man in the library there are other characters as well that related to other animals as well. Such as people's last names.

The significance of chapter 3 are several different ideas the first idea has to do with falseness and the second has to do with peoples names. At Gatsby's Party we are introduced to a character named owl eyes. Nick and Jordan find him in the library looking at all of the books and he just taken back to find out that the books were actually real. The reason why this is an example of falseness is because a lot of "rich people" have book case after book case of fake books, but owl eyes finds out hat Gatsby does in fact have "real" books. Another reason why this is an example of falseness is because a lot of the people tend to act rich and want to just live the rich life. So in order to do the they have "fake" books. Owl Eyes's name is also significant is because in the book names aren't important because people don't take the time to learn anybodies else name because they only care about themselves and don't think that anyone elses names are important.

"On week-ends his Rolls-Royce became an omnibus, bearing parties.."(pg.39). Gatsby having a Rolls-Royce is significant because its a sign of wealth.

"There's something funny about a they'll do a thing like that....He doesn't want any trouble with anybody" (pg. 43). This is significant because there are a lot of rumors about Gatsby, and the women think that he got her a new gown so he wont have any problems but in fact he dot her a new one because she tore it at his party and he was being a gentlemen. It's also another example of his having money to do whatever he wants with it.

"Absolutely real-have real pages and everything. I thought they'd be a nice durable cardboard" (pg.45). This is significant with the idea of falseness, because rich or wealthy people tend to have fake books just to make it seem like they're living the high life but in fact they're really not.

"he's just a man named Gatsby" (pg. 48). This also goes along with the idea of falseness. The only one at the party who actually cares to see and talk to Gatsby is Nick. this an example of falseness because no one really cares about him they just pretend to like him so they can go to his parties and mingle with other people at the party; which in fact they don't care about those people either, it's just so they can boost their social status.

3Throughout this chapter color is shown through all the characters. Colors are define to each person of by how each person acts. Daisy is blue and white. She is white because she is pure and in innocent. She is blue because Tom her husband is having an affair on her and she is a sad about that. 55 Tom is the red character because he is mean.

"My dear I'm going to give you this dress as soon as I'm through with it " Myrtle says to Mrs. McKee

"Town Tattle"
a magazine the significance of this is that everyone has to gossip about everyone else is business

" Wilson? He think she goes to see her sister in NewYork. He's so dumb he doesn't know he's alive"

Chapter 1

2008-02-28T17:35:00.000-08:00

The picture above is an example of the mansions that were located on the wets and east egg during the 1920's. Even though the west egg has mansions, they are not as big and as extravagant as the ones on the east egg; where his cousin Daisy and her husband Tom. The mansions also show that people are very materialistic. They have all of this expensive stuff but at the same time they are always bored and they seem as though they have nothing to do. Also, thing this shows is that they don't rely on other people to keep them occupied rather than relying on themselves.

Chapter 1 introduces the setting of the "West" and "East" egg. The importance of this chapter is the setting of the eggs. The eggs also symbolize the characters as well. For example all of the characters have a hard outter shell and are soft on the inside. All of the characters are very fake and show no remorse for eachother. For example, Tom: he only cares about the things that he has he doesn't care about what anyone has to say or what they have. Daisy ends up killing her husband's mistress and she too shows no remorse for her actions but she does this later on in the book. Also, we find out that the only reason why Daisy wouldn't stay with Gatsby because he wasnt rich enough for her, so instead she stays wiht a man who has an affair and beats his mistress. Another example of how the eggs symbolize characters is Myrtle. This is because she brings Tom to her own home and introduces Tom to her husband. Which in fact Tom does the same thing by bringing Nick along with him to meet his mistress even though he knows that Nick and Daisy are second cousins. The eggs none the less are very significant and symbolize many things throught Fitzgerald's book.

"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one" he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had that advantages that you've had" (pg.1).

This is important beacuse its saying that you shouldn't judge people beacuse you don;t know how their life has been. Also, just beacuae you have had a better education and more money doesn't mean that you have the right to judge them based on their education and how much money they have.

"I lived at West Egg, the - well, the less fashionable of the two, though this is a most superficial tag to express the bizarre and not a little sinister contrast between them" (pg.9). This explains even though the west egg had money it didn't have as much money as the "East Egg" had. They looked the same but they were economicically different due to the money that is envolved on the eggs.

"Turning me around by one arm..." (pg.7). This is important to the chapter because this shows that Tom only cares about his things and he has to physically move people to show them arond. He's a very aggressive man and also an ostentatious guy as well.

"I'm p-paralyzed with happiness" (pg 8). This is also, significant to the chapter because the characters int eh book are very sarcastic. They also, exaggerate alot! The characters in the novel don't really care about what the other has to say they only seem to care about themselves.
