Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Said by Nick:

"James Gatz-that was really, or at least legally, his name" (104).

The significance of this quote is to show that Jay Gatsby's real name is James Gatz. James Gatz is the Gatsby's real name but he used his new name to cover up who he used to be. He always wanted to be wealthy and rich and now he is so he changed his name.

Said by Nick:

"He wanted nothing less of Daisy than that she should go to Tom and say: 'I never loved you.'...just as if it were five years ago" (116)

The significance of this quote is that Gatsby loves Daisy so much that he just wants her to be happy and be with him because it would make not only her happy, but it would make him the happiest man ever.

Said by Tom:

"Oh, yes," said Tom very gruffly polite but obviously not remembering, "so we did, i remember very well" (108).

The significane of this quote is to show that Tom is a fake person. He really did not remember meeting Gatsby, but he just pretended so that he did not look stupid.

Said by Nick:

"After all, in the very casualness of Gatsby's party there were romantic possibilities totally absent from her world" (115).

The significance of this quote is to show that when people went to Gatsby's parties, you never really knew what the outcome was going to be.

"Yacht Dance"

W W W e, we will dance like tiny boats with cotton sails upon

W w W w W the tops of the seas, that would pull us down to the depths

W W W and crush us flat if given half a chance. no need

WWW WWW to look back to pictures of lost, when all was rust.

we, we will skim across the surface of the mud as if we're-

spinning pebbles oh, in our yacht dance oh, in our yacht dance

we, we will dance like tiny boats with cotton sails upon the tops of the

seas, made of people stained with scorn who never see the

light of real love. no need to look back through diaries of lost

now turned to dust. we, we will skate across the surface of the

storm as if we're wheeling sea-birds. oh, in our yacht dance

oh, in our yacht dance. and how they'll be jealous of both of

us! in our yacht dance.

we, we will dance like tiny boats with cotton sails upon the tops of

the seas, that would pull us down to the depths and crush us flat if

given half a chance. no need to look back to pictures of lost,

when all was we, we will skim across the surface of the

mud as if we're spinning pebbles. oh, in our yacht dance oh,

in our yacht dance.
