Once recited by the great Nick Carraway, “There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy, and the tired” (79). Chapter 5 of the book The Great Gatsby, reflects upon the experience that Jay Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan have together with the unfortuante Nick Carraway being trapped in the same room together. Carraway can be thought of as almost being a buffer in some instances. Everything becomes awkward at some point and that is what that buffer is for. Gatsby is the person that wants to be with Daisy again.
In the beginning of chapter 7, NIck notices Gatsby has no parties going on and learns that Gatsby doesn't need the parties to attract Daisy. On the hottest of the summer Tom, Daisy, Gatsby, Nick, Jordan go to the buchanan’s house for lunch. As the afternoon goes on Tom realises that Daisy and Gatsby are having an affair. Tom sets out to win her back. Daisy asks if they can all go to NYC for the rest of the day.
Chapters 1-5: Thomas has begun his new life. Once he was out of the box, he was introduced to all the Gladers. Alby, the first person to arrive in the glade introduced Thomas to Chuck, who was to help him around the Glade that night. Thomas was the grennie to the Glade, and had already made a lot of friends and one enemy, Gally. Chapters 6-10: Newt woke Thomas up, to show Thomas what lies in the maze.
In this scene, Gatsby goes to Tom to tell that Daisy doesn’t like him anymore and Daisy actually likes Gatsby, not Tom. This is important because Gatsby was saying what he didn’t have to. In my opinion, I think he shouldn’t talk about how Daisy married Tom even though it is true. It also shows that Gatsby still likes Daisy. Chapter 8
Chapter 7 Wealth/money/morality This quote shows that Tom is a racist. Knowing that this book was from the 1900s, we can guess its mood and how the situation goes. Since it shows that Tom is racist maybe this can show something that is related to Tom saying about other people. Understanding Gatsby is telling Tom that Daisy doesn’t like Tom.
Chapter 4 describes Nick’s first personal encounter with Gatsby. One after noon, Gatsby decided to take Nick to lunch in the city. On the way, Gatsby explained his life story to Nick claiming to have come from a wealthy family in the Midwest, to have attended Oxford, and to have earned medals of honor in WWI. During lunch Nick meets a man named Mr.Wolfsheim, one of Gatsby’s business partners who was rumored to have fixed the World Series in 1919. In addition, Gatsby asks Nick to speak to Jordan regarding an urgent matter.
The story starts off with the reader learning about how Nick’s lifestyle has been shaped. We learn that his father has taught him to not judge other people. His moral standards are different from other people so his father thinks he would misunderstand them. We learn about his moral values when he goes with Tom to attend a social gathering. Nick has only gotten drunk other than one time prior to this party.
It turns out Gatsby was reaching for Daisy since she lives just across the lake. Both the movie and the novel used the same meanings for this. Tom was also having relations with a mistress. This leads to Tom being sad when she gets run over by
One man pulled the trigger, but there were others behind the gun that led to Gatsby’s death. The Great Gatsby is a novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald recounting the story of the rich living in East and West Egg New York in the 1920’s, ending in Gatsby’s murder by George Wilson. Though they didn’t touch the gun, Fitzgerald writes the characters of Daisy, Tom, and even Gatsby himself, as if they loaded it. Daisy crashed Gatsby’s car into George Wilson’s wife Myrtle, killing her.
In Great Gatsby, chapter four finally explains why Gatsby is interested in Nick and Jordan. He wants Daisy to see his house and Nick's house is right next door, but actually he wants to meet Daisy while Nick could help him. Also, Jordan is the first person he found that knows Daisy and knows a lot about them (Fitzgerald 79). Once again Nick is playing an important role in the lives of other characters while paying little attention to his own needs and desires. In this chapter, Nick is playing an important role in the lives of Gatsby.
The parties at Gatsby's house ends because he doesn’t need parties to get Daisy’s attention for attraction. In Chapter seven, Daisy has Nick, Gatsby, Tom and Jordan to lunch with her. At lunch Tom steps into another room Daisy kisses Gatsby and told him she loved him. We learned that Tom and Daisy have a daughter together named Pammy. When Myrtle was hit Tom knows that Myrtle saw Gatsby’s car and thought it was Tom’s car because he was driving his car earlier in the day.
Chapter seven In the Great Gatsby is blazing hot! Throughout, the chapter various characters state that it is far too “Hot!” (Fitzgerald 121). Although, hot is being used to describe the excruciatingly hot weather the author might be using the term hot to symbolize the tension and drama that is packed full in this chapter.
1. What do you find is the most crucial in the plot in Chapter 1? I found the most crucial part in the plot in chapter 1 is when Nick comments about himself and how he reserves judgment about other people. he mentions Gatsby and says that Gatsby represents everything he scorns but Gatsby's personality was gorgeous! At the end of chapter 1 when Nick arrives home and he sees the great handsome Gatsby with his arms reaching towards the dark water, nixies nothing except a distant greenlight marking the end of the dock.
The seventh chapter is set on the hottest day of the year. During the chapter, some of the characters have personality changes. Gatsby stops having parties at his house like he usually did (113). Daisy has gone from someone who is shy to someone who is more confident. She flirts with Gatsby while Tom is sitting in the room (119).
Conflicts among friends, families, groups, and coworkers are a normal situation which is happen in our daily activities. however, the degree of our conflicts with someone makes us to loss our temper or to give an excuse in our life. The chapter seven of The Great Gatsby has the confrontation among Gatsby and Tom in such a way of love, mistress, and unfriendly that gets them to challenge each other in angry ways. The hidden relationship between Gatsby and Daisy the truth finally comes out in front of their friends and Daisy husband Tom.
