GATSBY TEST GRADES

It looked like they had studied for the test that we were having as classmates

GATSBY PP

GATSBY PROMPTS FURTHER THINKING

1. Don’t believe what everybody has to say 
2. Money doesn’t buy you happiness 
3. Why doesn’t daisy like her daughter? 
4. 
   

WHAT GATSBY SAYS TO ME

I think the central idea of the book or theme is that like Gatsby has done everything that is possible to get daisy’s attention because he loves her and he wants her to love him. In my way of seeing things it is trying to say to not waste all your money and time to try and get people’s attention if they love you and want you they will talk to you. Gatsby had wasted a lot of money on parties and the mansion he bought and he couldn’t get her attention till nick told her to go over to his house for some tea. If she really cared about him she wouldn’t want all that money or would want him to do all that for her attention. Or the other message that I feel is like some people say money can get you anything. I feel like that’s a lie because it sometimes doesn’t bring happiness it brings things you can buy but you cant buy happiness.

GATSBY NOTES AND THOUGHTS CH 7

• Gatsby cancels his parties which were to get daisy’s attention and fires his servants and replaces them with shady individuals connected to Meyer Wolfshiem 
• On the hottest day of the summer nick takes a train to East egg to go with his cousin daisy and finds Jordan and Gatsby there 
• When the lady shows daisy’s daughter Gatsby can’t believe it and they can’t hide there love for each other daisy asks Gatsby if they want to go to the city and Gatsby looks at her passionately and Tom becomes aware of there feeling for each other 

My thoughts at this point is that daisy will end up leaving Tom because she will fall for Gatsby again and really wants to make a life with him and be happy and not disappointed by Tom

• Tom says that they should all go to New York and nick rides with Jordan and Tom meanwhile daisy and Gatsby are riding together in Tom’s car stopping for gas as they go to the city it is notice that Wilson has been aware of his wife cheating but doesn’t know with who and it seems that Wilson and Tom are in the same situation 
• Tom wants to be like Gatsby and calls people “ old sport “ and says that Gatsby is a Lier and didn’t attend oxford 
• Tom asked Gatsby about daisy and Gatsby says that daisy loves him and not Tom then Tom says they have a history that Gatsby won’t understand Tom sends daisy back to Long Island with Gatsby and it’s nicks birthday 
• While going back Jordan, Tom, and nick see that somebody had been hit by a car and had left Tom thinks it was Gatsby the one that did the hit and run 
•  When they get to toms house nick finds Gatsby hiding in the bushes he says he was there to see that Tom wouldn’t hurt daisy and that daisy was driving when they struck Myrtle 
• Gatsby says he will take the blame but doesn’t want daisy to get hurt so he send nick to check on her 
•

• One day he saw a yacht owned by Dan Cody and he went and warned him about a storm and Dan to Gatsby with him as his assistant and Gatsby fell in love with the luxury life

• Gatsby believes that money can accomplish anything 

NOTES AND THOUGHTS ON GATSBY CHAPTER 5

• Nick thinks he’s has the craziest conversation with Gatsby as he asked him questions and wanted him to party 

My thoughts are that Gatsby is doing a lot because he wants nick attention so he can talk to daisy because obviously he likes her and is in love with her

• Gatsby brought a whole green house of flowers to nicks house to the tea or meeting 
• Gatsby was pale as death when he saw that daisy got there and ran from the back door around to the front door so it can seem that he wasn’t waiting for her 

My thought was that he was pale because he was nervous that daisy was there

• He says that when he went outside to run for a black tree it was raining 

Why would he even say it was raining I think he said it so he could set a mood for the story

• Gatsby tells nick to takes daisy to his house so he can show her around his house 
• Gatsby never say what he works as but does say he was a drug dealer and 
• In my thinking he states that he wanted to buy that house and put everything in it to try to impress her and hopefully that’s what she wanted 
• He bought the house at opposite side so that he can see her even at night when the green light on a dock was on 
• Daisy and Gatsby stay at his house while nick leaves so they can stay alone at Gatsby’s house 

NICK’S CARDINAL VIRTUE

At the end of the chapter, we learn that Nick's cardinal virtue is," I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known." 

How does this admission change the way we look at Nick?  
Nick seems to be the loyal one throughout everything and everyone else is weird and not happy with themselves or other people even Gatsby that is rich he is in love with Daisy but she is married

Is his idea supported by the events we've read so far?  
yes, because he has been very loyal and is just taking in what he has seen and what the people have to say about others and not spreading rumors like the other people

Do you think he is being humble or arrogant?

MY MOM ABOUT MY BIG QUESTION

By the way " MOM " is for Minute Of Mindfulness

FIRST TWO MINUTES

• for my first two minutes i thought of how the world would be without water and our bodies would just rely on food t have energy but it sounds weird because we are used to water but what if we never knew about water. 
• for the second two minutes i thought about how people say that boiling water to a certain temperature usually cleans the water from germs and being bad water so how are we not able to do that with ocean water and it's probably because it has salt and sand mixed 
• for the last two minute of mindfulness about my big question i remember that the ocean has a lot of trash in it and for us to clean the water would also involve us cleaning the ocean and stop throwing trash every where
