"Of course, of course! They're fine!" and he added hollowly, " ... old sport." The rain cooled about half-past three to a damp mist, through which occasional thin drops swam like dew. Gatsby looked with vacant eyes through a copy of Clay's Economics, starting at the Finnish tread that shook the kitchen floor, and peering toward the bleared windows from time to time as if a series of invisible but alarming happenings were taking place outside. Finally he got up and informed me, in an uncertain voice, that he was going home." - Chapter 5

I agree with your statement here, Sabrina. I would have to say these past few chapters have really started to reveal Gatsby as a person for us to truly connect with him. I look forward to "adding the pieces" to Gatsby's character as well. He surely seems to be a bit of a mystery, but none the less, an interesting persona.

I can't help but wonder the same thing about Gatsby and Daisy's relationship. In a way, I'm almost hoping Tom does find out for him to get a taste of his own medicine. But if he ceases to realize his wife's actions, that makes it all the more interesting.

I just want to say that it was never said that Daisy doesn't believe in divorce. Someone at that party at Myrtle and Tom's apartment said Tom's wife was catholic and they didn't believe in divorce, however, this was not a true statement, just another rumor. Great analysis though!

I love your analysis and yes, I most certainly agree that the shirts symbolized something else. I never thought it could be any other way. I do, however, wonder what exactly they symbolize. It could be that her love for Gatsby and his for her is beautiful and she knows that that love will ruin someone else, or it could be something else. It's a hard bit of symbolism to crack in my opinion!

He wanted nothing less of Daisy than that she should go to Tom and say: "I never loved you." After she had obliterated four years with that sentence they could decide upon the more practical measures to be taken. One of them was that, after she was free, they were to go back to Louisville and be married from her house-just as if it were five years ago.

Tom and Daisy have odd double standard issues. Why is it okay for Tom to have other women, but not okay for Daisy to have another? I think maybe because of the era -- maybe it was more socially acceptable (or at least more common) for men to have a mistress and for the wife to stay at home. Also, I think that Daisy's love is real and lasting.. I could see Tom being upset with that.

I find it interesting how concerned you are about Gatsby's history. I think you shouldn't be so caught up in his past, as you describe, and rather embrace his current character in the book. Overall, your passage if very well-written with a great use of vocabulary. On your next reading journal, you should refrain from putting the word "think", "feel", or "wonder" in all CAPS. It takes away from the flow of your writing. At most capitalize the first use of the word, or just incorporate it without capping. Readers can pick up on the theme without having the all capped words.

"Daisy began to sing with the music in a husky, rhythmic whisper, bringing out a meaning in each word that it had never had before and would never have again." ch.6

For example I think of certain talented musicians who are able to show emotion through their lyrics and their music. They can make you feel so many different emotions just by saying a couple words. It truly is a special gift that not many people have.

“I’m going to fix everything just the way it was before,” he said, nodding determinedly. “She’ll see.”

I love that you chose that quote. I feel bad because I think he is trying to remind himself.

"They weren’t happy, and neither of them had touched the chicken or the ale—and yet they weren’t unhappy either. There was an unmistakable air of natural intimacy about the picture and anybody would have said that they were conspiring together." (pg. 145)

Moved by an irresistible impulse, Gatsby turned to Tom, who had accepted the introduction as a stranger.

“Your wife doesn’t love you,” said Gatsby. “She’s never loved you. She loves me.”

I liked how you brought up the questions at the end. While these are simple questions that we can draw from the text, we never really find an answer to why is Daisy staying with Tom even though she knows about his affairs.

This is totally what I was feeling Chelsea. I can't believe that he is cheating on her but wants ownership over her.

"He talked alot about the past, and I gathered that he wanted to recover something, some idea of perhaps, that had gone into loving Daisy. His life had been confused and disordered since then, but if he could once return to a certain starting place and go over it all slowly, he could find out what that thing was...."

"Can't repeat the past?" he cried incredulously. "Why of course you can!"
