1. As more and more of Gatsby’s past is discovered Nick finds out that Gatz came from a rather poor family and it seems as though his parents never really loved him. LIke they thought he was weird in a way. This shows the true American dream, coming from somewhere where you have no money and going to somewhere else where you make a good and more than livable amont of money. He achieves this with great success and shows it more than often. 

2. Yet another devolopmen of Gatsby. This one is yet another bad one too. Nick is revealed the major parts of Gatsby’s past. He was never always rich and his family did not all go to Oxford. He earned all his money through illegal and legal matters with the shady people he was involved with. Nick finds out that he only went to Oxford because he was sent there by the army to get an education after serving in the war. NIck also learns that Dan Cody is Jay Gatz’s mentor.

3. ” And if you want to take down any addresses here’s my little gold pencil….” Gold pencils are not a very common utencil for writing. More like it is old an antique like the means=ing of gold in this book. Daisy has been in this higher class all her life and ran into more money when she married Tom instead of Gatsby.

1. This is when Gatsby and Daisy re-meet eachother after a few years since Gatsby left for the war. This shows that when you come to America you also look for love alongside a good home. To complete the American dream is to have a Beautiful wife or husband and loving family. This is exactly what Gatsby plans for the two of them. He obviously wants to spend the rest of his life with her.

2. This is when we see Gatsby as more vonerable. Before this chapter he is seen as someone who always has to tell a story and brag about himself. He really loves this girl ever since he first met her and he has no clue what to do. ” This is a terrible mistake”, says Gatsby. It is a very awkward eeting between the two of them. This is a more likable side of GAtsby that the audience gets to see instead of his normal arrogant self.

3.  Many colors are used throughout this chapter and mainly all of them express Gatsby and how he tries to impress. Mainly he tries to impress Daisy, especially when he wears his flanel suit, silver shirt, and gold tie. These all show how wealthy he is and it impresses Daisy very much.

1. In the first paragraph it talks about church bells ringing and going back to Gatsby’s house. When some people think of the American Dream they think of going to church with the family and afterwards spending time with family and/or friends. event though the time was full of partying and having fun there was a strong church movement too. Most people were part of both sides of the spectrum.

2. This chapter is when we find more and more about Gatsby but Nick does not like it when Gatsby talks about himself because he feels he is lying. Nick has good reasons to believe these stories are false beacause Jordan tells Nick it is a lie and these stories also seem too extreme to be true. ” I was bought up in America but educated at Oxford because al my ancestors have been educated there for many years.” This is just one of the many stories Gatsby tells about himself that Nick does not have total faith in.

3. Gatsby’s car is greean on the inside and creme on the outside, signifying new money which is what Gatsby really is and the cream represents how Gatsby tells Nick that his family is very wealthy and he has always had money. In truth we all know that the outside money of Gatsby is a lie because th money he has, he has made himself without his families help.

1. “On week-ends his Rolls-Royce became an omnibus…” The Rolls-Royce is oe of the most expensive automobiles around in that time. This shows his great wealth. The dream is plain and simple, to have a car and home but Gatsby has a luxery item for a car and a mansion for a house.

2. This is the chapter when we finally find a little more about Gatsby or anything “true” about the man. Before only stories rumored around about him. So far he been a complete mystery with only small details abou thim in the previous two chapters. He seems like a very ineteresting man as he tells more and more about himself including how he served in the same division as Nick in the war.

3. Fitzgerald uses yellow a few times in this chapter, like how these two girls were wearing yellow dresses but he never described what anyone else was wearing. These girls were meant to entertain and be fun and talkative. He also mentions “…yellow cocktail music”. This music is up beat and fun just as the girls are. The color is a fun color and is used as though it goes in the place of joyful.

1. The American dream is shown through Mrs. WIlson. It is apparent that she is poor and comes from that kind of background but aspires to be rich and wealthy. She absolutes refuses to admit that she is poor and comes from that background.

2. Nick is an honest man and comes from a very good background morally but he is now beginging to become more and more invloved with the style of the weathy.

3. in the first and second paragraph it talks about gray cars, ash grey men, and they gray land siginifying that it is very dim and boring like. There is absolutely no life to this place where ever you look whether it is alive or inatimate.

1. “You make me feel uncivilized, Daisy,”…”Can’t you talk about crops or something” (pg 17) Coming to America and making money was the original “American Dream” and farming was one of those ways to make some cash. America was based on farming but as the nation evolved, farming became less and less noticable. Nick came to Daisy as a farmer and she married into a very rich family which put her in the party lifestyle, the new American Dream. To party.

2.As Nick becomes more and more exposed to the outside world or the city as in which Daisy and Tom lives in he is seeing things he has never seen before especially coming from a little farm town on the the west.  The things like an unloyal mrriage is coming into play, yet another aspect in which NIck has never seen.

3.When Tom asks Nick about rise of the coloured empire it is referring to racist views of colored people, Saying that they will spread all over if we dont stop them. This shows an early view of racism through Tom’s point of view which could evolve as the book prolongs
