Chapter 7

• DAISY CHEATS ON TOM!!
• Is it bad that I feel good/bad for her? I mean good that she's standing up for something she believes in, her love for Gatsby, but an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. I feel that if Tom didn't cheat on her then she wouldn't have cheated on him with Gatsby. 
• Gatsby and Tom interact with each other
• Honestly they just bicker for a bit. They bicker in Tom's house then they bicker in New York. It was like two kids fighting for a toy that they both loved. Haha Daisy the toy.
• Gatsby admits the love affair that him and Daisy have!
• Does he only does this to get under Tom's skin? For example, they were bickering and to finally one up him he goes "Well she loves me not you so HA!"
• Tom and Gatsby fight...again
• In  my opinion I felt that Tom, Daisy and Gatsby could have fought about this elsewhere, not in front of NICK AND JORDAN. 

My main question is...... DID WILSON KILL MYRTLE???

The Great Gatsby Remix

CAREFEUL JORDAN IS DRIVING

Remix/ Questions?

• Does the fact that Tom and Daisy not being in Chapter 3 mean that they're not MAJOR characters?
• If Gatsby is almost the same age as Nick then how is he so important in society?
• If Gatsby is rich then why did he have to join the war? Couldn't he just pay his debt to society and be on his way, away from the blood and guts?
• Did ladies in the 1920s need to have a date? Like Jordan had her escort, but did she HAVE to bring him? Could she not come alone?

(I will probably have more questions tomorrow in class.)

MY FAVORITE (so far) CONVERSATION BETWEEN JORDAN AND NICK

"You're a rotten driver," I protested. 

"Either you ought to be more careful, or you oughtn't to drive at all."

 "I am careful." 

"No, you're not." "

Well, other people are," she said lightly. 

"What's that got to do with it?"

 "They'll keep out of my way," she insisted. 

Jeez I love her comeback! Badabing badabong!

Great Gatsby Chapter 2 Notes

• Nick meets the mistress
• Mistress= Mrs. Myrtle Wilson
• SHE'S MARRIED AND CHEATING ON HER HUSBAND WITH TOM! TOM IS MARRIED AND CHEATING ON HIS WIFE WITH MYRTLE
• She's not even cute.
• Tom knows her husband, George.
• Tom and Myrtle meet up in New York when she "visits" her sister.
• Tom buys Myrtle a dog for THEIR apartment
• "Wilson? He thinks she goes to see her sister in New York. He's so dumb he doesn't know he's alive."-Tom

Oh yeah totally, Tom. George must be dumb for trusting his wife! HE MUST BE A COMPLETE IDIOT FOR LETTING HIS WIFE, THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE, VISIT HER SISTER!! WHEN IN REALITY SHE VISITS HER "SUGAR DADDY" AND LIES TO HIS INNOCENT FACE. Wow let's throw him in prison.

On another note, Myrtle what the hell?! If you don't love him, divorce him you harlot! Just because he "lied" to you on how much money he has means nothing! Actually it means that you're a gold digging hoe. You only "loved" him in the very beginning because you thought he was wealthy!

• Nick meets Catherine, Myrtle's sister
• Myrtle and Tom talk trash about their husband/wife
