Dialectical Journal For The Great Gatsby

Authors Note: This Chapters kind of like a Introduction, but I plan for the other chapters to be longer.

As I sat there in the hotel, all was well until Tom accuses Gatsby of being a murderer and Gatsby lost his temper. I could tell Gatsby was furious at Tom and after he over reacted he tried to calm Daisy down but she just didn't feel the same way about Gatsby after this incident. After witnessing the fighting and constant arguing between Tom, Daisy, and Gatsby. Tom eventually sent Daisy off with Gatsby and I watched them as they awkwardly walk out to the car.

In chapter 8 being an outcast/ or a loner was a feeling from this book that I wasn't expecting. I from where the books seemed like it was going it was that sex doesn't matter companionship is what Bernard wants and I believe that there it's a little weird the feelings and thoughts he's having in his head.m" Bernard says repetitively how alone he is and how he's growing feelings for Linda and like how she's noticing it and is growing them as well.

On hot summer nights in the West Egg of New York, Gatsby would host gaudy parties every weekend for whomever wanted to attend. His intention was for his long lost lover from across the bay, Daisy Buchanan, to come to a party. Unfortunately, it wasn't until Nick Carraway brought her into one, months after he had been hosting. “...Every Friday, 5 crates of oranges and lemons arrived from a fruiterer...enough colored lights to cover a Christmas tree in Gatsby’s enormous garden...spiced baked hams crowded against salads of harlequin designs…” (39,40 Fitzgerald). Jay Gatsby orders all the lavish foods
