@helenp317M I think that the reason that Gatsby disappears is because there is a bit of awkwardness for him with Tom as he likes Daisy as a bit more than friends #GatsbyChat
“From East Egg, then came the Chester Beckers and the leeches, and a man named Bunsen, whom I knew at Yale.” Nick calls these people “leeches” which implies that they leech off of other people like Gatsby who have more money than them #ch4#TGGSymbol#GatsbyChat
Jordan and Nick seem to grow closer together in #ch3 even though Nick is pretty reluctant until near the end. Their relationship really takes off at the party #TGGDream
In the beginning of #ch3 the first few pages are devoted to describing the intricate details of Gatsby’s party and how fancy and elaborate it was #TGGCash
When Myrtle is buying the dog, Tom ends up paying for it like he pays for everything else. The man who is selling the dog sees this and overcharges Tom knowing he’ll accept the price because of Myrtle #ch2#TGGCash
The party itself is just a waste of time, especially for Nick who hadn’t even planned on being there. The people there constantly talk of things of no consequence and that they never act upon, making the whole thing one big #TGGWaste#ch2
All the stuff that Myrtle buys ends up just getting used in the moment then neglected, even the puppy who is left unwatched during the party #ch2#TGGWaste
Tom and Myrtle are both discontnet eoth their marriages, but with Mr. Wilson he has no idea about his wife’s affair and is completely oblivious even with Tom around a lot #ch2#TGGFake
Tom whisks Nick away to go and meet his girl without any regard for what Nick was going to do, assuming he had nothing better to do in #ch2 making him a #TGGFake friend
Tom and Daisy seem to have a bit of a false marriage going on because Tom has a mistress yet he tries to cover it up even though Daisy DEFINITELY knows #ch1#TGGFake#yikes@tom
