Hello S5 Homework for 18th Sept (Monday is a holiday!) is to learn literary terms 26-40 (up to and including narrative) and to post a quote from "Gatsby" in reply to this thread and your analysis of that quote. Your quote must be different from any others already posted to the thread so the sooner you do your homework the easier it will be! Enjoy! Ms L  |

"Factual immitation of a hotel de vile in normanday"
This is Nicks description of Gatsbys house it shows that Gatsby is trying to look like he is part of the aristocracy and he does this through his house. He is trying to make it look like it is old and luxurious and to the same scale as those on east egg.

"Gatsby bought that house so that daisy would be just across the bay" (page 51), this shows that gatsby is not only in love with Daisy but he is obsessed with daisy and would do anything to be close to her

"monstrous length...sort of green leather"
Refers towards Gatsby's wealth as he is showing off the substantial amount of money he has and also green symbolises the colour of money and also the jealously Gatsby has towards Tom over Daisy

"Daisy tumbled short of his dreams - not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion" - this shows that Nick thinks that Gatsby and Daisy have not been together for so long that Gatsby's expectations of her have grown beyond truth.

"Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay" this quote shows us how much in love Gatsby is with Daisy, that he would spend all his money buying a large house just to be close to someone

The wild guests at Gatsbys party 'couples holding each other tortuously, fashionably' shows how wild Gatsbys parties are and how this is the flamboyant 'anything goes' era

'champagne was served in glasses bigger than finger-bowls.' This shows how big Gatsby's parties were and how much that Gatsby was willing to offer to his guests.

"Three years to earn the money that bought it."
Makes us suspicious about Gatsby's wealth and that he may be bluffing about having old money.

"it makes me sad because i've never seen such beautiful shirts before" this shows Daisy's simplicity and shows she is materialistic. Seeing all of Gatsby's shirts makes Daisy realise how rich he is and she begins to have second thoughts about marrying Tom. ;D

"He's a bootlegger." + "One time he killed a man who had found out that he was nephew to Von Hindenburg and second cousin to the devil." this shows the readers that Gatsby's guests are unsure about Garaby and don't know a lot about him.

"She had a bottle of Sauterne in one hand and a letter in the other." & "She wouldn't let go of the letter." (page 49), this was on Daisy and Tom's wedding day and shows that she has received a letter from Gatsby and remembers him from when they were in love a few years back. The bottle of Sauterne shows she thinks she needs to drink to get rid of her sorrow and get over the mistake she thinks she has made. " Tell 'em all Daisy's change' her mine. Say: "Daisy's change' her mine!" "
