Gatsby tells nick that he stayed up until four o' clock waiting for Daisy but nothing. Daisy did not go outside and Tom did not try to hurt Daisy. Gatsby says that Tom and Daisy got married even though Daisy told him he would wait for him. He also talks about Tom social position being solid and getting approval by the parents to get married. Nick suggests Gatsby to forget about Daisy and to leave long island. Gatsby rejects Nick suggestion because Gatsby told him that she loved Daisy for youth and validity, he lied to her about his background so she can see he was worthy of her. Gatsby says that him and Daisy made love and he felt like they were already married and Daisy promised him that he would wait for her.  I think the author brings up the draining pool because Gatsby rebuilt what he lost with Daisy and just to see it fade away and the same thing with the pool everything just disappears into emptiness. When the author talks about the swim shows that summer is already almos...

 Gatsby stops having parties because he got Daisy attention and wants privacy. Gatsby fires  his staff because they were discreet about Daisy's visits.  Gatsby reaction to Daisy's daughter he is surprised even though she knew she existed. Daisy tells her own daughter, ''be a beautiful fool that's all you can ever be.'' The confrontation between Tom and Gatsby well it's over Daisy Tom mocks Gatsby's habits Gatsby tells tom "your wife doesn't love you."Tom accuses Gatsby of running a bootlegging. On the way back to long island Myrtle gets hit by a yellow car and the car sped away.Daisy and Gatsby were in the yellow car. Tom thinks that Gatsby was the one who hit Myrtle. At the end of chapter 7 Tom and Daisy leave they just go leaving things like that.This tells us that Daisy can care less about anyone but herself.

The difference between agreeing to complete work for each other well i am guessing is like giving them your word that you will make time for it and get it done. Being told what to do for homework  is like why can't we just get it done at home but you have to understand it's like extra practice to understand what we are doing in the class. Exploring what you want to in your own way is like it's something fun something that interest you without having to be told to do it cause you can do this certain thing any free time you have. 

I did not quite get far in the reading in class today but i got some notes. Dan Cody fortune in mining He was in his yacht  and he was passing where Gatsby was working (Dan Cody) Gatsby noticed a storm and went to warn Dan Cody (how they met) Gatsby parents unsuccessful farm people James Gatz is Gatsby legal name before his whole career was about to begin when he met Dan Cody transactions in   Montana copper made him a many times a millionaire Dan Cody Gatsby became  steward, mate, skipper, secretary, and jailor for Don Cody TUOLOMEE- name of Dan Cody's yacht

When Dr. Preston was reading to the class today and came across a sentence that Daisy was crying about the shirts was very weird and unrealistic. We know for a fact that she was not crying because of that. We also found out today that the green light that was brought up chapters ago is Dasiy's dock. I wonder why Gatsby is really in love with Daisy what does he find so special about her that makes him so nervous and wanting to impress her so much.

1. In what chapter did we find out the narrator's name? 2. Whose nose did Tom break and why? 3. How would you describe Daisy to another person? 4. If you could choose a character from the book who would you want to be and why? 5. What rumours have we heard about Gatsby so far? 6. What is the valley of ashes? 7.What does Daisy mean to Gatsby? 8.What kind of person is Tom?

 The people that Nick described were all in Gatsby's house in the summer pages 65-67 describes the people. Gatsby is talking to Nick about his life well related to his life and well Nick is not convinced in what he is saying. In class we also found out that Dasiy and Wilson don't have a good marriage because after there honeymoon one of them started cheating right after.

Cardinal virtue is something bad but something worse. If that makes any sense. This admission changes the way we look at Nick because what we seen so far in the book the other characters have done many bad things and makes them look bad. Well compared to Nick they are way worse nick has a couple of sins going on but not as bad as the other characters. I think Nick is being humble because he is not all about himself and it seems to me like he rather not have all that drama. 

 So we keep on reading and we find out new things. So we found out that Tom is racist and a jerk and today we found out something more he cheats on his wife with Daisy. We met a new character Wilson and he happens to be getting cheated on, right under his nose! We also met Catherine Daisy's sister. 

 Today when Dr.Preston was reading the Great Gatsby well i got to know more about the characters and hear about new ones. I got to hear about the narrator and finally hear his name which is Nick Carraway. I also i got to hear about new characters which is Tom and what i heard about him he is racist and a jerk. Daisy is another character that i have heard of she is all about herself wants like the attention just on her.
