Chapter 1-2: If these chapters were short stories, what would be their theme? (What insight do they give to human life? What do they tell us about how people act?) Have you noticed any symbols? What do you think they represent? What are you thinking about the characters we've been introduced to so far?

the billboard is one symbol of some one lookin down on you. Gasby looking at the water and the green light. Represented go like a new begining. **How does someone looking down on you relate to the book? Does this have anything to do with the water and the green light?**

Tom is a pimp and he is big and tough. The one guy is kinsa wierd watching this guy sleep. **How do you get this portrayal from the book? Where does the book discribe these characters this way?

You did a good job of answering all the questions, but there is nothing about what the book says about give human life or what it says about life. There is also no information backing up certain statements like, "Tom is a pimp." How is he a "pimp" and what does he do to give off this protrayal?**

Chapters 1-3
Well, so far we've seen three crazy parties that Nick has shared with us. What stuck out to you about each of them? What do each of them tell us about the characters we've met and how they relate to each other? Jordan is talking to Nick when she says, “And I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy” (Fitzgerald 52). How does this quote reflect each of the gatherings in the first three chapters?

//The point-of-view that a novel is told in frames the entire story. How would// The Great Gatsby //change if if it were told in another character's perspective (like Jay Gatsby's point-of-view?) Why do you think Fitzgerald chose Nick to be the narrator?

the five years gatsby's been waiting for her and when he's with her the time stops and i dont know a quote because i dont have my book with me. **How does time stop? What is being conveyed by the idea of time stopping?** The american dream is to be with the one you love and grow old together til the day you die. **How does this be tied into stopping time in Gatsby?** Atlest with me that is. ''dont bring Tom."


 * You do a great job of identifying what your idea of the American dream is and the connection between Gatsby and his love.

Who put them together?** Daisy and jordan because jordan doesnt cheat on people and daisy does. Jordan is athletic and daisy isn't. Daisy's married and jordan isnt plus jordan doesnt have kids daisy does.


 * You do a good job of answering all the questions. It gets a little confusing when you're talking about Daisy and Jordan because it never states what they are. The main question that I have is how does Gatsby, Daisy, and Jordan come together to demonstrate the values of the book. What does the book say about society?**
