1)  Fitzgerld tells how Gatsby achived his Ameriacn Dream.  Where a lot of his money came from.  Who he was and what he became!  In essence the man on the yacht, took Gatsby uunder his wing and brought him into a society class he never would have been apart of without.  so Fitzgerld American dream here is get lucky, know someone rich, and maybe they’ll throw you some money.

2)  Gatsby chacter was devolped by actual truth.  Although we’re still unsure who he is now we at least know how he started.  As a wonderer who rowed out to a yacht, meet a rich man and became rich when he died.  Also we got to see Tom in an uncomfurtable scene when he arrived at Gatsby’s party and realized he didn’t know anyone.  The way Tom reacted showed us that he can’t adapt, and finds a few people and stays with them, occasionally leaving the ones he new pefore behind him.  the prrof of this was when Nick, Jordan, Daisy and GAtsby were all eating dinner together at the party, and Tom left them to go talk with a few other fellows he had meet earlier.  The cost of this was that he left his wife with a man who is trying to steal her away.  Also this incounter between Tom and GAtsby didn’t start right because Tom dug up some info. on Gatsby because he didn’t trust him.  This is jsut the starting point of a long line of events.

3)umm didn’t notice anythign with color here.  I think Fitzgerled is color blind… yah… but don’t tell her I think she is sensitive about it.

1) Fitzgerald disccusing the American dream as being unatainable for some.  She does this threw Gatsby’s visiion of DAisy after 5 years and Daisy falling short of that.

2) We compared Tom to Gatsby. Tom is a strong husband but also a cheating one.  When Daisy settled for Tom she submitted to him completely to the point that she despretly needed, loved, and depended on Tomat all times.  By her giving Tom this controll over her, Tom used this controll to cheat on her with Murtyl.  Now Gatsby on the other had loved Daisy but wasn’t worthy of her 5 years earlier.  So everything he’s done was to make himslef worthy of her.  When he’s in her pressence he is trying to impress, woo, and show her that is now in her calss.  Though becaue Daisy knows Gatsby from before I think if she looked closer she could see the falsehood in his fake persona.

3) The green light at the end of Daisy’s dock signifed a rommance and hope for Gatspy.  Making the color green able to symbolize both hope and new money.  Also the color pink signifys Dasiy’s dream world in which her and Gatsby are together.  Also there is a reacuring color symbolism between grey and the grey parts of society. ex: tom’s mistress lives in a grey town.  Though we see this grey color when DAisy and Tom enter a room to be together and tom turns on thelights making the grey windows glow outward.  i beilves this color and ation symbolysis the grey relation ship going on with Gatsby and Daisy that Gatsby doesn’t want to hide.

1)  The pursute of love and happiness seems ot be the aMerican dream fetured in this chapter.

2)Gatsby doesn’t seem to care about money.  For he says when he got his innheritance he spent it and lived like a Raja.  Though he followed this by going to war and tring to kill himslef.  A happy man wouldn’t do that.  His obssesion with Daisy explains so much of him and connects many of his actions to his owrds.  Though over all I think we don’t know the real Gatsby yet becoasue still os much of him is contradiction.

3.  His car was used as an example of of gold money coovering new green money.
