Post 2

My predictions were not confirmed, I said that there would be some trouble related to Gatsby, but that didn't happen.

The changes are:
  • We have information about Gatsby. (chap 3)
  • The new rich join the old rich in Gatsby's party. (chap 3)
  • Gatsby becomes more and more interesting and mysterious. (chap 3)
  • Gatsby finally meets Nick, and Nick makes a rapport between Gatsby and his ideas of hopes for the future. (chap 3)
  • Gatsby meets Daisy with whom he starts a romance. (chap 4)
  •  The Gatsby's dream, the love of Daisy, becomes a symbol that represents the American dream of the twenties. (chap 4)
  • Gatsby makes the first movement to get his dream become true. 

 The quotation calls my attention because it is the beginning of the love story between the main characters. Gatsby wants to attract Daisy showing off, being spectacularily dressed, for the meeting, and also  with have again the contradiccion between apariences and material things against spiritual things. He wants to get Daisy's love throug material things.
" The flowers were unnecessary, for at two o'clock a greenhouse arrived from Gatsby's, with innumerable receptables to contain it. An hour later the front door opened nervously, and Gastby, in a white flannel suit, silver shirt, and gold-colour tie.. " ( chap 5 line 60)


For the next chapters I predict a conflict between Gatsby and Tom because Tom can discover the affair that Gatsby has with Daisy.

  1. Good observations! Your prediction for the next part of the novel is quite accurate!

    "The Gatsby's dream, the love of Daisy, becomes a symbol that represents the American dream of the twenties" Which is the American dream of the 20s?

    Please, revise spelling and grammar!
