Study questions for chapter 7

1.) the rain in chapter 5 when Daisy and Gatsby are first reunited. In chapter 7, the heat, because everyone is angry.

2.) He stopped his parties because Daisy didn't enjoy them.

3.)Daisy treats her like a Doll and she doesn't actually take care of her, her maid does. Gatbsy looks at the child in surprise because he hadn't really believed her to be true before and now she is the first obstical in his dream vision of life with Daisy.

4.) Tom is talking to Mr. Wilson about the car he was going to give to Mr. Wilson.

5.) That Daisy loves Gatsby and there is something going on between the two of them.

6.) He means her voice sounds like money, "the inexhaustible charm that rose and fell in it, the jingle of it..." Nick doesn't say it because he can't place exactually what her voice reminds him
of.

7.) Gatsby and Daisy in Tom's car, and Tom, Nick, and Jordan in Gatsby's car. Daisy wanted to go with Gatsby, Tom wanted to take Gatsby's car, and Nick and Jordan are sort of together so they rode together.

8.) Dr. T.J. Eckleburg's eye reminded Tom he needed to get gas for the car. Eyes are all seeing, some see things other's can't like Owl eyes, and everyone sees things differently.

9.) Mr. Wilson had just found out that his wife has been cheating on him and living a different life. Tom had also found out this same discovery about his own wife not long before.

10.) Gatsby tells Tom when, why, and how long he attended Oxford. Nick was glad when Gatsby told Tom the truth about Oxford when Tom was trying to make Gastby look bad in front of everyone.

11.) We think she does know what love is but just gets confused when Gatsby comes back into her life and the old flame lights up again. She married Tom because of money and it was the right thing to do, but she had always loved Gatsby.

12.) Gatsby and Daisy were in the car that hit Myrtle. Tom, Nick and Jordan stop at the scene of the crash. Tom was in a bad situation because he had been driving the car earlier. Tom loses Myrtle.

13.) yes his age. He is now thirty and in your 30's you are supposed to be grown up and be responsible. The 20's are when you are establishing yourself.

14.) So that there is more than one witness. To make it more realistic.

15.) he realizes that Gatsby is lying so he asks if Daisy was the one driving. He can tell Gatsby is lying because of the way he is acting about it, not know who she was, saying he didn't know what happened and the they couldn't swerve.

16.) He concluded that Daisy and Tom weren't happy, but yet they weren't unhappy either. Nick doesn't like Gatsby anymore. Nick is just tired of everyone.

17.) Nick leaves Gatsby watching over nothing. Gatsby is taking the roll as the knight is shining armor towards Daisy but he is mistaken on his purpose and how Daisy actually sees Gatsby.
