The red symbol of blood appears again just as it did earlier in the story. Except instead of a broken, bloody nose, it is the blood from the body in the pool after being shot #TGGSymbol #Ch8 (162)

[Maddie C @MaddieCP517M]

Nicks reaction once the shots are heard shows how much of a deep, emotional bond he has with Gatsby. #TGGSymbol #Ch8 (161)

[Maddie C @MaddieCP517M]

Even the chauffeur is a corrupt character being one of Meyer Wolfsheims protégés.. #TGGCash #Ch8

[Maddie C @MaddieCP517M]

“A new world, material without being real..” (161), ironic because in the current world Gatsby lives in material is all that matters and is everything they live for. In this new world it doesn’t matter.. #TGGDream #Ch8

[Maddie C @MaddieCP517M]

Correlation between Gad and God. Perhaps “Gad’s Hill” ~ Gods Hill #TGGSymbol #Ch8 (160)

[Maddie C @MaddieCP517M]

Gatsby is pretty confident on page 152 that even when Daisy “loved” Tom she still loved him even more. No matter what it was always him who would win. But is that true??? #TGGSymbol #Ch8

[Maddie C @MaddieCP517M]

Emphasis of Fitzgerald putting the word nice in quotations when referring to Daisy. Because Daisy is actually a quite awful person as we come to know and it is ironic that Gatsby sees her as the perfect girl. #TGGFake #Ch8 (148)

[Maddie C @MaddieCP517M]

Gatsbys house being covered in dust is ironic because not only does he have a whole army of servants to clean his house but he also normally has millions of guests to entertain for his parties #TGGSymbol #Ch8 (148)

[Maddie C @MaddieCP517M]

On pg 147, “I waited, and about four o’clock she cane to the window and stood there for a minute and then turned out the light,” perhaps symbolizing Daisy and the green light we saw at the start of the book. #Ch8 #TGGSymbol

[Maddie C @MaddieCP517M]

Tom sees Gatsby as under him and not as wealthy. More amused at the idea Daisy thinks he is so powerful when clearly he is not as well off as he says he is. Tom is more concerned of his status compared to Gatsby then the fact his wife doesn’t love him #TGGFake #Ch7 (122)

[Maddie C @MaddieCP517M]

Daisy’s voice is “full of money” and she simply is obsessed with the idea of what she has and who she comes off to be. Demonstrating why Gatsby went to such extremes impressing her and wanted to be as wealthy as he was even if deep down he didn’t want that. #TGGCash #Ch7 (120)

[Maddie C @MaddieCP517M]

Tom had been sleeping through his life with Daisy and when he witnessed the affair between Gatsby and her and their true love.. it shocked him back to life. He remembered who he used to love and why he was married to her. #TGGSymbol #Ch7 (119)

[Maddie C @MaddieCP517M]

Daisy’s have yellow middles and the sun is also depicted as yellow. If Daisy could also be the sun perhaps it shows that her feelings for Tom are simpling lessening every year and he wants to be with her but she simply is the opposite. #TGGSymbol #Ch7 (118).

[Maddie C @MaddieCP517M]

Daisy refers to her daughter as an “absolute little dream” (117), does this mean her life with Tom is ultimately her #TGGDream ? Proving that Gatsbys plan will probably never happen? Or is it simple just her baby girl and she still wants Gatsby? #Ch7
