Just trying to drop knowledge bombs on literature... emphasis on the "try"

"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

#TeamCash Could have spent less time on it, but ultimately cares for what his mother wants. #AILD20

[Nik @Nik2018P5M]

"My mother is a fish." #TeamVardaman expresses his past symbolism with his fish as a comparison with his mother. #AILD19

[Nik @Nik2018P5M]

#TeamCash created more busywork to distract himself from the death of Addie. #AILD18

The boy wrote some obscene (lewd?) word on the white (innocent) steps, in the MOONLIGHT. Gatsby summed up? #TGGSymbol #TGGColor #Ch9

[Nik @Nik2018P5M]

The West, however old, has its family aspect that the East severely lacks, and leads to the tragedies seen in this book. #TGGWaste #Ch9

[Nik @Nik2018P5M]

"I come across this book by accident" Perhaps the accident motif can still stick in here, and the accident was J.G.'s death? #TGGSymbol #Ch7

[Nik @Nik2018P5M]

Tending = staying on his side, planning out funeral, and trying to find friends to attend; just in case it wasn't clearZ

[Nik @Nik2018P5M]

Everyone is asking what Nick's name is, and in his last moment of tending to Gatsby, we are reminded he is "Carraway" #TGGSymbol #Ch9

[Nik @Nik2018P5M]

Klipspringer, a supposed "friend" of Gatsby wants nothing to do of him, but only his materialistic possessions. #TGGWaste #TGGCash #Ch9

[Nik @Nik2018P5M]

Due to Slagle's call, we learn that Gatsby most definitely had some... shady dealings to get to the top. #TGGCash #Ch9

[Nik @Nik2018P5M]

Wolfsheim's message to Nick practically sounds like a computer, doing the job but devoid of emotion in it itself. #TGGFake #Ch9

[John Meehan @MeehanEDU]

Well... this is awkward. #PrinceEric

[Nik @Nik2018P5M]

"his office address on Broadway." Gee, its almost like the office is just a show.... #TGGFake #Ch9

[Nik @Nik2018P5M]

"I don't know. Can't say." I know its obvious he doesn't know, but maybe, just maybe, he does know? #TGGFake #Ch9

[Nik @Nik2018P5M]

Gatsby, who once had all those supporting him, now finds himself with nobody, as he cannot spread his wealth anymore. #TGGCash #TGGFake #Ch9

[Nik @Nik2018P5M]

"He asked someone the way to Gatsby's house." Sounds like Ch 1, where Nick tells the person where West Egg is! #TGGSymbol #Ch8 #Ch1Throwback

[Nik @Nik2018P5M]

Also can we acknowledge that Wilson just said he doesn't attend church, but speaks of T.J. like his own God? #TGGFake #Ch8

[Nik @Nik2018P5M]

"You can't fool God!" Mankind itself has become the "God" (T.J.) and it acts out on what it sees or hears from another. #TGGSymbol #Ch8
