The Great Gatsby Chapter 7,8 Question

In Chapter seven and eight of The Great Gatsby it is the climax of the story. Something towards the beginning of the book that could have hinted to Mr. Gatsby death could have been when Nick tells him that he should leave the state for a little. When Nick tells Mr. Gatsby to leave the state for a little bit, it could be hinting to the reader that something bad is going to happen to him, like being shot and killed. Another thing that could have been hinted earlier in the book towards the climax could have been when Myrtle got hit by the car. Earlier in the book Myrtle and her husband were constantly fighting and he found out about myrtle having an affair with someone else, which gave a little hint that everything with their relationship was going horribly wrong. When you read the book you don't really think about any of these hints, but after you have read and think about the certain hints in the book it is kind of interesting. 

The Great Gatsby Chapter 6 Question

In chapter six of The Great Gatsby we find out about Mr. Gatsby true life story. He was born in North Dakota on a farm and he was known as James Gatz. There are many reasons to why Mr. Gatsby would have lied about his past. For example, when Mr. Gatsby went to St. Olaf's college he had to drop out because he was embarrassed and made fun of doing janitorial work that he was required to do to pay for his tuition. ALso when he was younger he worked on lake Superior digging for clams and fishing for salmon. Finally Mr. Gatsby finds a man named Dan Cody who was very wealthier and worked as his assistant on his Yacht. When Dan Cody dies Mr. Gatsby enjoyed the wealthy lifestyle so he decides to dedicate himself to also becoming a wealthy man. Another reason why Mr. Gatsby could have lied is because he didn't want people to know he was a poor farmer and was embarrassed and humiliated when he went to college. Nick told us at this point in the book instead of earlier in the book because he wanted people to see how Mr. Gatsby really is so people wouldn't think different because of what he did when he was younger. 

Great Gatsby Ch. 5 Question

In chapter five Nick invites Daisy and Mr. Gatsby over for tea because Mr. Gatsby has been dyeing to see her for years. Mr. Gatsby finally has his chance to see Daisy after waiting forever and looking in articles to just see things she has said. Finally after waiting impatiently Daisy arrives to Nicks house and Daisy and Mr. Gatsby meet. When they meet Nick says that Gatsby count of enchanted objects had diminished by one. Nick is referring to Daisy. When he says this he is talking about how Mr. Gatsby had this huge imaginary picture in his head of how perfect and amazing Daisy would be when they finally meet since forever ago. When Mr. Gatsby saw Daisy he had his expectation so high that Nick referred her to being an enchanted object that he didn't see her as he was expecting. If Gatsby wouldn't have had his expectation so high then I believe that he wouldn't have "lost one of his enchanted objects.
