The Great Gatsby

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Said by Nick:

"On the last afternoon before he went abroad he sat with Daisy in his arms for a long, silent time" (157).

The significance of this quote is to show that Gatsby never took any moment for granted. He was going overseas and he was worried that he would never be able to see Daisy again. He sat there with her for a long time because he loves her and he wanted to feel his arms around her one last time before he had to go.

Said by Nick

"They're a rotten crowd, you're worth the whole damn bunch put together" (162).

The significance of this quote is to show how much better Gatsby is than Daisy, Tom and everyone else that hangs around with them.

Said by Wilson:

"i spoke to her, -and i said 'God knows what you've been doing. You may fool me but you can't fool God'" (167).

The significance of this quote is that Wilson has distrust in Myrtle. He knew there was something suspicious about her but he didn't know exactly what it was.

Said by Nick:

"I have an idea that Gatsby himself didn't believe it would come and perhaps he no longer cared" (172).

The significance of this quote is to show that Gatsby believed that no one would ever find out what had happened. He believed that they would just forget about it just like they forget about all their other problems. Nick also tells that he thinks that Gatsby just might not have cared either way what happened to him at this point.

Analysis of the picture.

The picture i picked is to represent the sadness felt in this chapter. The sadness with Wilson and Myrtle and also the sadness with Daisy and Gatsby. Wilson loved Myrtle. Although they didnt have any kids and she didn't love him as much as he loved her, he still loved her. She cheated on him all the time and he still found in himself reasons to keep on loving her. Daisy and Gatsby also have a part in this sadness. Gatsby loves Daisy more than anything. He had based his whole life on trying to get her back and to make her see that he loves her more than anything. Daisy has an affair on her husband with Gatsby, the man who devoted his every breath to her, and she has the odasity to not even show up at his funeral. I picked this picture because i believe it fit the chapter exceptionally well.

Lyrics

Taylor Swift Teardrops - On My Guitar Lyrics

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see,That I want and I'm needing, everything that we should be,I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about,And she's got ev'rything that I have to live without...

Drew talks to me, I laugh 'cause it's just so dam funny,But I can't even see anyone when he's with me,He says he's so in love, he's fin'lly got it right,I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night...

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar,The only thing that keeps me wishin' on a wishin' star,He's the song in the car I keep singin', don't know why I do...

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?And there he goes, so perfectly, The kind of flawless I wish I could be,

She better hold him tight, give him all her love Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky 'cause...

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar,The only thing that keeps me wishin' on a wishin' star,He's the song in the car I keep singin', don't know why I do...

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light,I'll put his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight...

Cause he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar,The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart,He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do...

He's the time taken up, but there's never enough,And he's all that I need to fall into..

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see...

This song reflects how Gatsby is with Daisy. No mater how much he wants her she will never be his. She is in love with Tom weather she is wishing to acknowledge it or not. There for when Daisy And Gatsby start having the affair it is doomed from the start.

In this statement Tom is expressing how he feels about people wife's being with other men. When he himself had done just that same thing.

Lyrics

Three thirty in the morning

Not a soul in sight

The city's lookin' like a ghost town

On a moonless summer night Raindrops on the windshield

There's a storm moving in

He's headin' back from somewhere

That he never should have been And the thunder rolls

And the thunder rolls

Every light is burnin'

In a house across town

She's pacin' by the telephone

In her faded flannel gown

Askin' for miracle

Hopin' she's not right

Prayin' it's the weather

That's kept him out all night

And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls

And the lightnin' strikes

Another love grows cold

On a sleepless night

As the storm blows on

Out of control

Deep in her heart

The thunder rolls

She's waitin' by the window

When he pulls into the drive

She rushes out to hold him

Thankful he's alive

But on the wind and rain

A strange new perfume blows

And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes

And he knows that she knows

And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls

And the lightnin' strikes

Another love grows cold and dark

On a sleepless night

As the storm blows on

Out of control

Deep in her heart

The thunder rolls

She runs back down the hallway

And through the bedroom door

She reaches for the pistol

Kept in the dresser drawer

Tells the lady in the mirror

He won't do this again

Cause tonight will be the last time

She'll wonder where he's been

These lyric relate to how Tom feels when he finally putt two and two together and realise that Daisy and Gatsby are having an affair together right under he nose. But he finally realises it.

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.

Analysis of the picture

The picture in chapter six is to represent Dan Cody's Yacht. Dan Cody is a friend of Jay Gatsby's. He is the person that got Gatsby his start to fortune.

He started Gatsby in his own business and that is where he took off. After that Gatsby was a rich man. He had always been wealthy after that and has always been thankful towards Dan.

Lyrics

XTC - Little Lighthouse

She's a little lighthouse when she

Opens up her huge eyes

And streams of diamonds shoot out

'Til we're wading waist deep in her brilliant love

She's a little lighthouse when she

Opens up her red mouth

And gold word ribbons rope and rodeo

The dark clouds in bouquet above

For how long will this dark age last?

For how long must we wait to learn?

Across the black and fossil ocean vast

I spy love and she doth brightly burn

Love sure lives in the right house

She's a little lighthouse when she

Opens up her huge mind and

Thoughts descending spears of crystal

Build a Jacob's ladder up to love

She's a little lighthouse

When she opens up her red dress

Show skin of rubber marble

Lit by knowledge and the fireflies above

And can others see this splendid beam?

Or do they navigate in dark?

If you ever want to dock your dream

Well you'll need love to guide your fragile ark

Love sure keeps a bright house

She's a little lighthouse

This is referring to his house being so brightly lit up. he i s trying to reflect him self in the way he present the house the day Daisy comes over to Nicks. Gatsby makes it as extravagant as possible.

Chapter 3

2008-03-11T05:48:00.001-07:00

Chapter 3

Said by Nick:

"There was music from my neighbor's house through the summer nights" (43).

The significance of this quote is that at Jay Gatsby's parties you are always assured a great time.

Said by Jordan:

"This is much too polite for me" (49).

The significance of this quote is to show Jordan's awareness on how fake people were acting.

Said by Lucille:

"...When i was here last i tore my gown on a chair, and he asked me my name and address-inside of a week i got a package from Croirier's with a new evening gown in it" (47).

The significance of this quote shows how wealthy Gatsby is. He has a lot of family inherited money and does not necessarily care what he spends it on. He is just an overall nice man.

Said by Gatsby:

"I'm Gatsby. I thought you knew, old sport. I'm afraid I'm not a very good host" (52).

The significance of this quote is to show that people go to Gatsby's parties and they don't know him and he usually does not know them either.

Analysis Of The Picture

This picture is significant because it represents all the people that attend Gatsby's parties. The people that attend Gatsby's parties have no name and no distinctive features. For example there are people in this story, such as the undergraduate and Owl Eyes. They are introduced in to the story but their real names are not revealed because they are such irrelevant characters and have little significance. These characters get the title of nameless because they have little importance in the book.

Analysis.

Chapter analysis of the car wreck. In the begining of the story there is a car accident. There are a few people involved and they do not at first realize that they had even crashed. When the man finally realizes that he was in a car wreck he steps out of the car and starts to walk away. He is so careless that he was not even going to report that there had been a crash. He is a danger to himself and other people. There was a passanger in the car that was so drunk, he did not even remember who was driving the car. Also, the stupidity of the driver for walking away fromthe scene of the accident just shows how stupid and careless some people really are.

Lyrics

Gwen Stafani-Crash

Back it up, back it up You got it, you got it Put your hands up, put your hands up, put your hands up You got it, you got it

Drive back baby to me, fast in your car I'm here waiting, crash into me real hard [2x]

I wander round the room and I'm getting things ready I picture you driving, just like Mario Andretti I got the cush, Kettle One, waiting for your engine Your Grand Prix attention, it's gonna be a party

Don't forget to make a U-turn I see you left your blinker on I got it rolled and ready here to burn Meet me back at home (a-oh, a-oh)

Drive back baby to me, fast in your car I'm here waiting, crash into me real hard [2x] Driving fast in your car I've got you tracked on my radar, oh

It's just such a trip, how you're still my speed racer You got me so addicted, just like a free-baser I want you all over me like L.A.M.B. So get here A.S.A.P., it's gonna be a party

Don't forget to make a U-turn (don't forget to get here) I see you left your blinker on (you see, I want to get it on) I got it rolled and ready here to burn Meet me back at home (you know you need me so come back) Drive back baby to me, fast in your car I'm here waiting, crash into me real hard [2x]

Now you know you're qualified You're in the pole position Put it in first gear, step on the pedal and drive fast Back it up, back it up You got it, you got it Back it up, back it up You got it, you got it Put your hands up, put your hands up, put your hands up You got it, you got it Put your hands up, put your hands up, put your hands up You got it, you got it

(I'm ready for you) Drive back baby to me, fast in your car (Me and you boo) I'm here waiting, crash into me real hard (Don't make me wait too long) Drive back baby to me, fast in your car (For me and you boo) I'm here waiting, crash into me real hard

Come on baby, please hurry up, you know I'm waiting for you [4x]

these lyrics relate to when Owl-eyes drove a car in to a dich and didn't even attempting to try to drive. Then he tries to convince every one that you can get a three wheeled car out of a ditch.

Chapter 4

2008-03-11T05:40:00.001-07:00

Chapter 4.

Said by the random woman:

"One time he killed a man who had found out that he was nephew to Von Hindenburg and second cousin to the Devil" (65).

The significance of this quote is to show that people like to start rumors and talk about stuff that they do not even know is true or untrue.

Said by Jordan:

"She began to cry-she cried and cried" (81).

The significance of this quote is to show that Daisy still loved Gatsby but felt like she had to marry Tom, even though she would be more happy with Gatsby.

Said by Nick:

"...and for a moment i was sorry that i'd ever set foot upon his over-populated lawn" (72)

The significance of this quote is to show that Nick was ashamed that he had ever been aquainted to Gatsby because he was getting himself into messy situations and he knew there would be a bad outcome.

Said by Nick:

"I put my arm around Jordan's golden shoulder and drew her toward me and asked her to dinner" (84).

The significance of this quote is to show how Nick finally got the courage to step up and ask Jordan out and confess his love for her.

Analysis of the Picture

The picture in this chapter is to symbolize the gossip that happens around the town. Throughout this book, there are many rumors and things said that are not true. There are constant lies and people turn out to be very unfaithful. Three people that are really unfaithful and tell many lies in this book are Gatsby, Tom and Jordan.

Tom is Daisy's husband but he does not deserve the title. Tom has a mistress named Myrtle and he blatently cheats on Daisy. Myrtle will call while Tom and Daisy are having dinner and Tom will have the odasity to answer the telephone call. Myrtle is also married so it does not look good for her either. Tom and Myrtle have their own apartment in the valley of ashes. That is where they hook up. This shows how Tom is unfaithful to Daisy.

Another character in this book that symbolizes gossip is Jordan. Jordan is a professional golf player and also a friend of Daisy and Tom Buchannon. She was once caught cheating at one of the play off games. She denied it, but it did really happen. Jordan has been known to lie a lot and to be unfaithful. Jordan tells Nick that she knows Gatsby. She tells him rumors that she had heard about him even though she has no idea whether or not they are true. This shows how Jordan symbolizes gossip.

The last character that symbolizes gossip is Jay Gatsby. Gatsby is a mysterious character. He had always been the talk of the parties and the newest rumor to hit the streets. He is Nick's neighbor in west egg and he is extremely rich. He bought that particular house because he can look across the lake and see Daisy and Tom's house. Gatsby once told Nick that his parents had died, which we later find out is a lie. This shows how Gatsby is a symbol of gossip.

Lyrics

Three days grace

"Just Like You"

I could be mean

I could be angry

You know I could be just like you

I could be fake

I could be stupid

You know I could be just like you

You thought you were standing beside me

You were only in my way

You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me

You were only in my way

You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me

You were only in my way

You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you

I could be cold

I could be ruthless

You know I could be just like you

I could be weak

I could be senseless

You know I could be just like you

You thought you were standing beside me

You were only in my way

You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me

You were only in my way

You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me

You were only in my way

You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you

On my own, cause I can’t take liven with you

I’m alone, so I won’t turn out like you Want me to

You thought you were standing beside me

You were only in my way

You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me

You were only in my way

You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you

You thought you were there to guide me

You were only in my way

You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be just like you

I could be mean

I could be angry

You know I could be just like you

Explaination of the Lyrics

These song lyrics are to show arrogance. People in this book talk a lot about each other and they always have some involvement in everyone else's business. This song is called just like you and the significance of it is to show that not everyone wants to be alike and be so self centered. Gatsby and Nick are examples of people who don't like to be like others. Nick is a very shy person. He is cousins with Daisy and neighbors with Gatsby.

Chapter 2

2008-03-07T09:30:00.000-08:00

Chapter Two.

Said by Nick:

"The Valley of ashes is bounded on one side by a small foul river..." (28).

This statement shows how the life of people who live there are "dirty" living people. Since they live in such dirty conditions, it follows them and they too turn into dirty rotten people.

Said by Nick:
"The interior was unprosperous and bare; the only care visible was a dust-covered ford which crouched in a dim corner" (29).

The significance of this quote is to explain the untidyness of Tom Buchannon's mistress. She is very unclean and it defines her also as a person.

Said by Nick:

"I have only been drunk twice in my life the second time was that afternoon" (33).

The significance of this quote is to show that Nick does not really drink very often. He was overwhelmed with what was going on that day so he decided to have a drink or two which ended up getting him drunk.

Said by Nick:

"...Tom Buchannon broke her nose with an open hand" (41).

This quote said by Nick, is telling how tom broke Daisy's nose. The significance of this quote is to show that Tom is a very violent person and he would even go as far as hitting his mistress.

Analysis of the Picture

The picture in this chapter is a wasteland and it represents the valley of ashes. The valley of ashes is a very sad and depressing place. It is between West and East egg. This a place where people are cold and mean. The place is dirty and ashy. Here people's actions speak louder than words.

Chapter One.

Said By Nick's Father:

"Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in
this world haven't had the advantages that you have had." (pg.5)

The significance of this quote is wealth. Nick had a wealthy family and attended
and graduated from Yale university. He was always "better off" compared to
others.

Said By Nick:

"i lived in west egg, the - well, the less fashionable of the two." (pg.9)

The significance of this quote is that Nick views the West egg as less fortunate than east egg because the East egg consists of "new money" as to west egg consisting of "old money". Also the fact that Nick has always been rich and living to the highest standards is also a little uneasy for Nick.

Said By Nick:

"Across the courtesy bay the white palaces of fashionable east egg glitered along the water..." (pg.10)

The Significance of this quote is that Nick believes that East egg is more of a splendid place than compared to the looks of West egg.

Said By Daisy:

"Do they miss me?" (pg.14)

The significance of this quote is to explain Daisy's self absorbtion.

Analysis

In chapter one, symbolism occurs around every corner. Colof is a significant symbolic figure in this book. The most used colors in this story are, Blue, Red and Gold.

Red is a symbolic color in this book. Red represents wealth. A few important characters that express red are Tom and Daisy. Tom and Daisy Buchannon are very wealthy. They live in East egg in a mansion like home. The home itself symbolizes wealth, and the house is filled from top to bottom with red.

Blue is another symbolic color in this book. Blue in this example is the color for sadness and gloomy things. A specific character that represents and promotes blue is Daisy. Daisy is a very unhappy person. Her husband Tom, constantly cheats on her and does not treat her properly. She is a really sad and depressed character. She is always in sort of a bad mood on the inside even if she appears to be in a good mood. She is really good at hiding away her bad feelings.

Another color used frequently throughout the book is gold. Gold is a significant color meaning rich and wealthy. A character that represents gold is Gatsby. Gatsby lives in west egg. West egg is the least fortunate of the two but Gatsby still has a lot of money. He lives alone in a mansion and inside is miraculous. The home is gorgeous and is filled with gold from ceiling to floor.

Picture Analysis

This picture represent both the east and the west eggs. That is why the picture is eggs because both islands look like eggs them self's.

Lyrics

Daniel Powter, Bad day.

Where is the moment we needed the most You kick up the leaves and the magic
is lost They tell me your blue skies fade to gray They tell me your passion's gone away And I don't need no carryin' on You stand in the line just to hit a new low You're faking a smile with the coffee you go You tell me your life's been way offlineYou're falling to pieces every time And I don't need no carryin' on...

Because you had a bad day-You're taking one down-You sing a sad song just to turn it around-You say you don't know-You tell me don't lie-You work at a smile and you go for a ride-You had a bad day The camera don't lie-You're coming back down and you really don't mind-You had a bad dayYou had a bad day.

Will you need a blue sky holiday? The point is they laugh at what you say And I don't need no carryin' on You had a bad dayYou're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know You tell me don't lie You work at a smile and you go for a rideYou had a bad dayThe camera don't lie You're coming back down and you really don't mind You had a bad day (Oooh.. a holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink And the whole thing turns out wrong You might not make it back and you know That you could be well oh that strong And I'm not wrong (yeah...) So where is the passion when you need it the most Oh you and I You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day You're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know You tell me don't lie You work at a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad day You've seen what you like And how does it feel for one more time You had a bad day You had a bad day.

The meaning of this song is to represent Daisy's sadness. Daisy is always gloomy and sad and is seems like she is never really having a good day. Daisy is very unhappy because of the surroundings she lives in. Her husband cheats on her, they have a child and he does not even act like he loves her or the child. He is stern and does not treat his wife the way a wife should be treated. Another person that this song represents is Tom. Tom is also a sad character. Tom is not happy either with him marriage or more importantly, his life. Tom cheats on Daisy blatently and she knows this. Tom feels no shame. He has a large house and loves to show it off. He just does not care.
