Gatsby HW

4 Paragraphs


Party Rock! In this chapter Nick is at Tom's house for a party. At that party Tom introduces his mistress to Nick and the book introduces us to Myrtle. Usually Nick would sit back and judge people, but this time he did not. Instead he got drunk for the second time in his life. Tom is selling a car to Mr.Wilson, Wilson needs that car to make money out of it. This chapter gives us a very clear view of the a tragic character.

B*** please! That is how Tom reacted when Myrtle said Daisy's name. Tom is a very wealthy being and he wants what he does not have. That is why he cheats on Daisy but later in the book he refuses to let Gatsby take her. For him Daisy is a good, something he had earned and he wants to keep the possession of that good. but Why? Well, simply because Daisy talks money, she means money. And that makes Tom look richer when he is married to Daisy. Tom is a character that describes old money and wealthy people in America. I would argue he is a theme, the theme of money, but that is just my opinion.

Oh the humanities! Myrtle is a tragic character. The reason for that is that she has a flaw, she always changes and she has very high self esteem. Later she dies from Gatsby's car. She is very important in the book, not as a character more of an object to show tragedy and also to help the denouement to the end. She is very weird with her dressing style and she is not exactly what Tom would look for in a girl. Tom would look for a girl like daisy who is beautiful and speaks money.

Gumby? No Gatsby! The second chapter is more of a chapter that goes over the theme of Haves and Have Nots and it helps giving us a better understanding if Myrtle And Tom. This chapter is very important to the understanding of the book and without it the book would have a harder denouement on the audience. Maybe this chapter has a connection with chapter 8? The symetrical chapter.
