Character Development – You see Daisy develop into someone who was secretly completely in love with Gatsby to someone who can’t tell her husband what she has been telling Gatsby. She is living in a fantasy but knows that she won’t leave Tom even though she has been getting Gatsby’s hopes up.

Colors- White is in this chapter again but they mention white powder and I think the powder is like a mask. She may look white and pure on the outside but really she has been cheating on her husband and leading Gatsby on. She isn’t pure and innocent at all.

Character Development- In previous chapters you were able to tell that Gatsby didn’t really fit in but when he accepts the woman’s invitation when she wasn’t really inviting him it shows what an outcast he really is. He does’t understand they way the work.

colors – There is a lot of white in this chapter. For example, “Daisy’s white face” the white represents the beauty and perfection of Daisy. 

My one major regret from that night was forgetting to give my Great Grandpa a hug before I left. I didn’t get see him very often so I always tried to make the best of the time I got to spend with him, but in the chaotic mess of people leaving and saying goodbye I left without giving him that hug that meant so much to both of us. When I got home I realized that I had forgotten, but reassured myself that I would just give him a bigger hug the next time I saw him.

Five months later my mom called to tell me that my Great Grandpa was in the hospital because he had fallen; unfortunately the fall wasn’t why he was still there. The doctors had found that my grandpa was in the final stages of Leukemia and he only had a few short days left to live. My parents and I rushed down to see him the next day but he wasn’t the same grandpa who couldn’t keep from cracking a joke every five minutes or reminding you of all your embarrassing childhood memories. Instead he was laying almost lifeless on a hospital bed hooked up to more wires and machines than you can imagine.

At the end of our visit we all took turns giving him that lame one arm hug that barely got around his back because of those bulky bed rails. That was it I never got my chance to give him the hug he deserved and that I cherished until the next time we met.

 You shouldn’t ever let an opportunity pass you by because you think you will have the same opportunity in the future. This I believe.

Character Development: we really see how much Gatsby loves Daisy in this chapter. “You’re acting like a little boy” This shows that Gatsby is so nervous he can’t even function properly.

Colors: “You always have a green light that burns all night at the end of your dock.” Green signifies go and take action.

Character development: In this chapter we see that Gatsby is a nice guy who cares about other people. He doesn’t want to upset anyone and is very loving but it also seemed like he was hiding something big.

colors- “she dressed in white and had a little white roadster” I think they are showing how pure Daisy was. and how she stood out from the rest of the girls.

Character development: Jordan Baker’s charater develops into an independant party girl in this chapter. She goes to Gatsby’s parties all the time but knows how to handle herself. For example, “Jordan Baker instinctively acoided clever shrewd men and now I saw that this was because she felt safer on a plane where and divergence from a code would be throught impossible.” It also said she was a very dishonest woman.

Colors- There are a bunch of different colors at the party and I think they are used to show the different moods and personalities in the party throughout the night.

Character Development -“Making a short deft movement, Tom Buchanan broke her nose with his open hand.” In chapter one there was a description of Tom that described him as being a fierce tough cold man, this quote just shows how mean he really is. He doesn’t care who he hurts he will do whatever it takes to get what he wants.

Colors- There are a lot of dark colors in this chapter for example, ash gray and plain gray are mentioned a lot in the first paragraph. I think it’s a way to set the tone of personality for the chapter. Sort of dark and sneaky and mean.

Character development- In this chapter we see Nick starting to make a living of his own and by his reactions it sounds like he is very surprised to hear of the unfaithfulness of Tom and is starting to realize that the world is very far from perfect.

Color symbolism- The colors white and red appear a lot. I think when the color white is used it’s referring to a pure kind and nice human being, when he uses red he is often talking about characteristics of Tom’s house or personality so I think it’s used as a harsh vulgar side of a person.

I agree with Lewis Thomas about cloning human beings i don’t think it should be done.

• In order to make the clone the same as the other person you would have to clone all of their friends and family, but to recreate all of that person’s friends and family to be the same you would have to recreate all of their friends and family as well. You would basically have to clone the whole world in order to make people the same.
• People are not supposed to scientifically recreate people. Like my dad says “they are trying to play God”
• Everyone would be the same there would be nothing new to come out of the new people because it would be the same as the people before them.

But

• If people had a clone they would never have to search for a donor if they had poor health. and it would help cure a lot of diseases.
• If it was someone really smart they could keep discovering and creating new things after the first person died.
