Friday 28 April Gatsby chapters 1-7

Quiz today through chapter 7.
Vocabulary 13 due Monday.
In class: With your groups, you are presenting your character findings.
I am not in class on Monday, but you will turn in your vocabulary 13 to Ms. Sanford by the end of class to get full credit. (thank you to those who have already turned the work in.) By TUESDAY, you should have finished the novel.
Tuesday will be a discussion day. On Wednesday, we write in class.

If you are reading this, the following will come in handy tomorrow on your quiz:
Chapter IV: Nick and Gatsby take a ride into New York to have lunch with Mr. Wolfsheim.
Name two things that Gatsby shares with Nick about his personal life.

Give two examples that flesh out the character of Wolfsheim. (Note I ask that question, as by extension it tells us much about Gatsby.

In chapter IV Jordan fills Nick in with the background information about Daisy and Gatsby’s former relationship. Briefly summarize.


Gatsby asks Nick to invite Daisy for tea at Nick’s house, rather than his own. Name one thing Gatsby does to prepare for her arrival at Nick’s house.

Briefly describe how Gatsby conducts himself.

What is Gatsby’s attitude toward the past?

The heat of the summer parallels the tension in the novel, increasing as we move towards the climax. Nick, Jordan, Gatsby, Daisy and Tom gather at the Buchanan’s house, but the women wish to head into town. Two cars are taken: Tom drives Gatsby’s car and Jordan and Nick ride with him, while Daisy rides with Gatsby in Tom’s car. (This bit is extremely important.) Where do they all head?
