Chapter 1 Of The Great Gatsby

Skipping ahead of where we left off last chapter, chapter 6 starts by giving us more background on Gatsby through Nick. We find out that Jay Gatsby is actually a made up persona from James Gatz, and his actual background seems to be in sharp contrast with that of Jay Gatsby’s. He spent his childhood in Minnesota where he met who seems to have played a major impact on Gatsby’s character, and older man named Cody, who took Gatsby under his wing and essentially brought Jay Gatsby to life. Another downside to Gatsby's American dream is that it has, in essence, stunted his growth, intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally.

Chapter seven starts with Gatsby changing his whole life around. He no longer hosts parties every week, he doesn't need to anymore because he has Daisy. He also fires his past servants and replaces them with workers of Meyer Wolfsheim, since he does not want any gossip around him. To Nick’s surprise, Gatsby was headed over to Tom’s house to have lunch. It is the hottest day of the year when this lunch is happening. The group hears Tom yelling at Mr.Wilson on the telephone. Gatsby sees Pammy, Daisy’s daughter and is somewhat irritated because he realizes how much more complicated the situation had become and the fact that there is living proof of Tom and Daisy’s love. Tom finds out about the affair when Daisy’s tone shifted when she spoke to

After Cody’s departure, Gatsby had received a letter from his uncle Von Hindenburg who was fighting a stalemate in Europe and feared the contingencies of an American intervention. He told him that the Kaiser asked him to spy on the Americans in exchange for the “extravagant wealth of the German Empire”. Gatsby complied, not out of fear or greed, but to satisfy the tempestuous riots of his heart.

The setting in the last chapter is unchanged from the start of the novel, which suggests that Alex’s persona has behaved the same way. Even as Alex moves from place to place, the settings match up. At the beginning of chapter seven of part three, Alex is once again sitting in the Korova Milkbar with three other friends. At this point, the story seems to come full circle and creates a sense of Déjà vu since the setting of the first page was the same place. Burgess begins to incorporate a sense of change in the last chapter when Alex explains “the heighth of fashion, which in those days was these very wide trousers and a very loose black shiny leather like jerkin over an open-necked shirt with a scarf tucked in” (Burgess 201). This contrasts

    In the fifth chapter of The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald is able to embed various themes kernels throughout the chapter; including the past, wealth and its consequences, and disillusionment. These themes not only occur within this chapter; they are also apparent throughout the entirety of the novel. However, these ideas are firmly supported by a bulwark of evidence, keeping the reader continually pondering at the thought of their true meaning further on in the novel. In the same manner, Fitzgerald is able to incorporate numerous literary devices throughout Chapter V. This makes his style of writing not only complex, but the novel itself also becomes truly elaborate because he skillfully utilizes these devices and elements to deepen the characters, the plot, and the lessons to be learned from this novel. Numerous motifs and symbols such as color, weather, houses, a clock, and the green light all appear alongside important plot and character developments from the beginning right to the very end of the chapter.

During chapter 7, at lunch, Gatsby and Daisy seem to unveil their feelings for eachother and Tom seems to have realized what has been going on between them. Daisy says that they should go into town, but after saying something to Gatsby, Tom picks up on the situation and starts to make things tense. Tom insists that they do go into town, so they do. Tom takes Gatsby’s car with Nick and Jordan though Gatsby says that he his running low on gasoline; Gatsby and Daisy take Tom’s car. Once Tom, Nick, and Daisy stop for gas at the Wilson's’ shop we learn that Mr. Wilson has found out that his wife is cheating on, though he doesn't know who with and says that he is going to move them somewhere far away.

In Chapter 8: Things Fall Apart: Amusia and Dysharmonia, Oliver Sacks examines these two neurological conditions. He states that there are numerous factors involved, all connected with the perception, deciphering, and combination of sound and time, and hence that there are numerous types of amusia. Sacks indicates that A. L. Benton (in his chapter on the amusias in Critchley and Henson's Music and the Mind) admits "responsive" from "interpretive" or "performance" amusia, and distinguishes more than twelve types. By and large, however, types of rhythm deafness are not common, in light of the fact that rhythm is portrayed broadly in the brain. Approximately five percent of the population suffer from true tone deafness, and individuals with such

Jay Gatsby was able to get everything he wanted and asked for because of his wealth and

As Gatsby cautiously returns to the room, a heavy atmosphere oppresses the two occupants. Gatsby, afraid of getting too close to Daisy and ruining their meeting, sits on the opposite end of the couch. Daisy and Gatsby maintain their conservative distance from each other, enduring the awkwardness of the situation. The old clock resonates with each tick as it dictates the time in the room, with only the rain connecting them with the world outside. A competion of patience in the awkward silence begins. Gatsby is the first to move as he shoots up from the couch and speaks.

11. The weather and their behavior affects the mood in the beginning of the story by making it gloomy and almost creepy. This changes the story by putting a little more emphasis on the dangerousness of the paw.

Chapter four filled with mysteriousness and suspenseful scenes. In this chapter we are introduced to A. G. Geiger’s place, the ash blonde, and a tall bird man with a cane. This chapter becomes intense since it is the first investigation Marlowe is doing after the General’s home. The scene of this chapter begins with the description of the store. The bookstore was cluttered with junk and the dimness of the store made it hard to see inside. In the back of the store was a door and aside from the door in the back sat a woman behind the desk. This ash blonde hair with green eyes woman wore a tight black dress that showed her long thighs. She approached Marlowe with a certain something often not seen in bookstores and gave a tentative smile with enough sex appeal.

Gatsby stops giving parties, which he hosted primarily to lure Daisy. He also fired all his servants to prevent gossip and replaced them with people connected to Wolfsheim. On a hot summer day, Nick goes to the Buchanan’s for lunch with Tom, Daisy, Gatsby, and Jordan Baker. When he comes in, Gatsby is standing on the carpet, Jordan and Daisy are laying on the couch, and Tom is on the phone, supposedly talking to Myrtle. Then, to Gatsby’s surprise, the nurse brings in Daisy’s daughter, who Daisy seem almost uninterested in. After lunch, Daisy suggests going to the city, and Tom, who is starting to notice the chemistry between her and Gatsby, agrees. Nick rides with Jordan and Tom in Gatsby’s car, and Gatsby and Daisy ride together in Tom’s car.

"I was in the middle of it all, and I had to choose between saving my friends, catch the villain (who I still don 't know his name), or get the medallion". Anyway who was I, I was talking to a flamingo for goodness sake.

Chapter 2: In chapter 2 we learn about a character named John J Fitzgerald. John was new to the pendleton, but he wasn’t new to the New England weather. He was a son of a captain and took over a T2 tanker just one month prior. Fitzgerald’s voyage was a difficult voyage from the start. He was leaving texas and going to boston to deliver oil. He and his crew ran into many severe storms on the sea. One of the storms they ran into was a storm with wind coming from all directions and the waves were 50-70 feet high. During the storm the crew heard a cracking sound and then the bow of the boat ripped away. The crew ran to see the damage and one of the crew members almost ran off the edge.

Thomas gets up from the metal box, he looks around and finds out that he is standing in a courtyard that surrounded by four enormous walls. After some conversation Thomas meets a guy that he thinks he must be group leader names "Alby". Thomas asks Alby about the Glade and things he still don't know, but Alby tells that the Glade is a long story and he'll tell Thomas about it after taking something called "the Tour" in the next day. Thomas gets pissed cause Alby didn't give him an answer that he want and keep asking Alby about where he is. Alby walks to him and says "If you ain't scared, you ain't human. Act any diferrent and I'd throw you off the Cliff". Thomas get scared by what he just heard. Then the new boy steps in and introduce himself
