Still though, we don't know who Gatsby is. There's all this speculation in my head and one the pages of the book about what kind of a person he is and what he does. He's obviously a nice person if he throws humungous parties and invites everyone correct? He offers plane rides to Nick and such... but still there's something that's hidden.
After reading chapter III I think that Jordan Baker is going to die by the end of the book. Which I don't hope to happen, but it could. Because: a. There was just a reckless car accident. and b. Nick says that she's a terrible driver and one day she'll meet someone who drives like herself. I'm not sure if I like Baker yet... she's kind of shady. Accused of cheating in a golf match and then the witnesses and caddies extracting statements, plus going to the library with Gatsby. There must be something brewing. I do like what she said though, it's kind of ironic...

Hi, Red, this is your teacher.
ReplyDeleteFANTASTIC blogs!! I enjoyed reading them.
Don't you think that it's interesting that the book is entitled The Great Gatsby, but you're well into it and still don't know him? What is Nick's role in all this? What's the importance of Nick's father's advice?
Your other book sounds interesting as well--I haven't read it.
Keep up the good work! I look forward to hearing more from you!
