Transcript: How do you change the font style? “He was profoundly affected by the fact that Tom was there. But he would be uneasy anyhow until he had given them something, realizing in a vague way that that was all they came for.” (98) “…disappearing under the August foliage, just as Gatsby, with hat and light overcoat in hand, came out the front door.” (100) “They arrived at twilight, and, as we strolled out among the sparkling hundreds, Daisy’s voice was playing murmurous tricks in her throat.” “But what had amused me then turned septic on the air now.” (102) “Gatsby asked me to wait until her was free, and I lingered in the garden until the inevitable swimming party had run up, chilled and exaled, from the black beach, until the lights were extinguished in the guest rooms overhead.” (105) "Tom's arrogant eyes roamed the crowd." (101) "...but I felt an unpleasantness in the air, a pervading harshness that hadn't been there before." (100) "But his heart was in a constant, turbulant riot."(95) “He was a son of God” (95) “A universe of ineffable gaudiness spun itself out in his brain...”(95) "They were a party of three on horseback."(98) “Tom and I shook hands, the rest of us exchanged a cool nod, and they trotted quickly down the drive...” (100) “…his mind would never romp again like the mind of God” (107) “A breeze stirred the grey haze of Daisy’s fur coat.” (104) MAJOR CHARACTERS Colour: “A blue coat, six pairs of white duck trousers, and a yachting cap.” (96) “If you want to kiss me any time during the evening, Nick, just let me know and I’ll be glad to arrange it for you. Just mention my name. Or present a green card. I’m giving out green—“ (101) “Gatsby indicated a gorgeous, scarcely human orchid of a woman who sat in state under a white-plum tree.” (101) “Go ahead’, answered Daisy genially, ‘And if you want to take down any addresses here’s my little gold pencil…” (102) “I ventured. You cant repeat the past. Can't repeat the past? He cried incredulously. Why of course you can!” (106) This shows how Gatsby is stuck in the past and wants those same feelings Daisy had for him to be there now. “He was a son of God” (95) Gatsby is seen as a Christ like figure When Tom and the Sloanes leave on horseback and Gatsby follows them in his car shows how even rich people have class distinctions such as “old money” and “new money” Tom and the Sloanes are old money and Gatsby is new money. MINOR CHARACTERS THE GREAT GATSBY “I suppose he’s had the name ready for a long time, even then.” (95) “Moreover he told it to me at a time of confusion, when I had reached the point of believing everything and nothing about him. So I take advantage of this short halt, while Gatsby, so to speak, caught his breath, to clear this set of misconceptions away.” (97) “I was startled, naturally, but the really surprising thing was that it hadn’t happened before.” (98) By: Stephanie, Bristo, David and Simonne The Great Gatsby Prezi Presentation MOTIFS/PATTERNS MAJOR CHARACTERS The chapter opens with a reporter travelling to Gatsby’s mansion hoping to interview him. Gatsby was born James Gatz and grew up on a North Dakota farm, to parents who were unsuccessful farmers. Gatsby was fishing for salmon and digging for clams, and warned Cody, a yacht owner, about an approaching storm. To show his gratefulness, Cody offered Gatsby the position of his personal assistance and changed his name to Jay Gatsby. Several weeks later, Nick goes to Gatsby’s house and finds the company of Tom Buchanan and Mr. and Mrs. Sloane, who arrived by horse shortly after Nick. On Saturday night, Tom, Daisy and Nick go to a party at Gatsby’s house, and no one has an enjoyable time. FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE F. Scott Fitzgerald CHAPTER 6 Presentation “Tom was evidently perturbed at Daisy’s running around alone, for on the following Saturday night he came with her to Gatsby’s party. Perhaps his presence gave the evening its peculiar quality of oppressiveness—it stands out in my memory from Gatsby’s other parties this summer.” (100) “Or perhaps I had merely grown used to it, grown to accept West Egg as a world complete in itself, with its own standards and its own great figures, second to nothing because it had no consciousness of being so, and now I was looking at it again, through Daisy’s eyes.” (100) VOCABULARY Romance: “After all, in the very casualness of Gatsby’s party there were romantic possibilities totally absent from her world. What was it up there in the song that seemed to be calling her back inside? What would happen now in the dim, incalculable hours? Perhaps some unbelievable guest would arrive, a person infinitely rare and to be marveled at, some authentically radiant young girl who with one fresh glance at Gatsby, one moment of magical encounter, would blot out those five years of unwavering devotion?” (105) Cars/Aristocracy: “‘I haven’t got a horse,’ said Gatsby, ‘I used to ride in the army, but I’ve never bought a horse. I’ll have to follow to you in my car.” (99)
