GASTBY CHAPTER 9: NOTES AND THOUGHTS

CHAPTER 9

He was writing this book two years later. There was a simple statement that Wilson was a mad- man for killing someone and then eventually killing himself.

Nick was found on Gatsby side, and he was very alone.

So I tracked the responses of the other people. Most of these questions were addressed to Nick and he realized he was responsible.

Daisy had gone with Tom away and took a baggage with them. So when Nick tried to call her, he couldn't reach her.

Meyer Wolfshiem did not even answer the phone. He seemed to be busy.

Nick sent a letter and hoped the newspaper would inform others about thier loved one, however no response from Wolfshiem and Daisy.

In the letter from Wolfshiem, he had many run-on senteces which demonstrates that he he wrote it without a care or in a hurry.

Henry C. Gatz- Gatsby father, when he found out, he immediatly came. He had emphasize that the man that killed him was a mad man.
He did not want to take the body west but leave it east where Gatsby wanted to be and grow.

Klipspringer - man who went to the parties Gatsby had and was just there.
Nick was in a call with Klipspringer and Klipspringer wanted his shoes more than attending Gatsby funeral.

Wolfshiem's gone to "Chicago" by the secretary.
The fact that he hands down a cigar shows that he wasn't in grief because a cigar would show celebration.

Post-man showed up. This was a comparison to all the other people who did not show up. The post-man, one who Nick did not even know. He never came to drink wine or to party.

Nick is in the funeral and he is reflecting about his past. Where has has been. Where he is now. Where he will be in the future and the person he is growing. He reflects how he is that part of that Middle West. Even when he was excited about the East, it seemed unadaptable fro some reason.

Now, he wants to come back home, where everything is better and more normal.

One afternoon late in October, Nick saw Tom Buchanan. He confronted him about him setting Gatsby up so he can be killed.

Gatsby was so close to the light and almost there. However, it was already in the past. In the end, no matter how much we have tried to change what have happen, we should keep on flowing with the present.

WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT GATSBY

CHAPTER


1. Finish notes and thoughts on Chapter 8 (title: GATSBY CHAPTER 8 NOTES AND THOUGHTS)

2. Notes and thoughts on Chapter 9 (title: GATSBY CHAPTER 9 NOTES AND THOUGHTS)

3. Answer the following questions (title: WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT GATSBY)

(Suggested opening: "The great thing about The Great Gatsby is that the characters and their decisions also reflect life in America today.  For example...")

1. Is Gatsby great?  Is he even good?  Why/ why not?
2. Nick opens the book by complimenting himself for his honesty.  Is Nick honest with himself?  Why does he constantly hang out with dishonest people?  Why does he respect them and seek out relationships with them?

3. Fitzgerald describes Daisy and Tom this way: “They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”  What does this mean?  Do you agree?

4. Do you understand Daisy's behavior?  Do you agree with her choices?  Is she a person you would let your brother/son/friend date?

5. The last line of the book: "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."  What does this mean?  How does it relate to the theme/s of the book?

Gatsby Chapter 8

IN 2020, EVERYBODY SEES YOU

In the beginning of the chapter, Gatsby waiting for Daisy to switch the light for 6 hours!!! She knew he would be out there, how could she kill a woman and then treat Gatsby like he was not important.
Nick suggest that Gatsby should go away for some time. Gatsby rejects his advice and decides to stay because he wanted to know what Daisy would do.

Gatsby, with his invisible cloak of his uniform made him noticeable like the other guys. Without it, he was indivisible. Gatsby "took her because he had no real right to touch her hand". He made her believe that he would take care of her and a sense of security, even though he could not provide much for her because he was a poor boy. However, he did not despise himself. He only committed himself to her. He felt married to her instead of feeling like moving on like many other guys would when they got what they wanted.

Gatsby says that Daisy and himself left off loving each other and knowing that they were for each other in his perspective.

Daisy was never looking for someone perfect but someone right at that moment she wanted.
Gatsby is in pain. When he was younger he went to see where she lived after she was married.
This book is really sensitive to the seasons.
In the fall, things die starting with Myrtle.

Nick did not want to leave Gatsby. Gatsby real purpose was innocent. He just loved a girl and wanted to impress her. However, this cause problems.

Wilson grew quieter and began to talk about the accident and his wife. He flinched at the idea about trying to admit that his wife had someone else.

George Wilson found out that the yellow car that killed his wife belonged to Gatsby. In search for him, he traveled by foot until he found where he lived. He then shot Gatsby and killed himself, too. 

Chapter 7: Gatsby *

Gatsby stopped having parties because he started meeting with Daisy and wanted her to come over to his place. In addition he fired his staff because those who are there can spread rumors or out them for seeing each other. It was the beginning of something new for Gatsby and he wanted it to work out so they can be together. Gatsby replaced with more serious people who have relations with Wolfsheim. They were way more serious and kept to themselves. They knew if they talked, it could mean trouble.

Daisy boasted about her daughter. However, she hated they had to be a girl. In contrast, gatsby-

The "outing" to New York is
The confrontation between Tom and Gatsby

Daisy, she, did not have any moral sense of what to do and acts upon what they tell her to do. She is just roaring around and hurting their emotional feelings. This is symbolic and represented physically when she is behind the wheel and runs over Myrtle, and Myrtle dies. IT WAS A HIT AND RUN.
Few minutes later, Tom's reaction was "good" because at least one of his businesses was being taken over.
Tom kind of pointed fingers at Gatsby which Wilson now believes killed his girlfriend.
Nick's interpretation of Jay changes.
Tom's wide kills Tom's mistress without knowing who she was on accident :0

At the end of the chapter, Gatsby was standing there in the moonlight "watching over nothing". There was nothing for Gatsby so why does he keep waiting for her. She was his princesses, yet, she acted out of range and selfish.

Tom and Daisy also seem to be conspiring!!!

GASTBY CHAPTER 6 NOTES AND MY THOUGHTS

Laudable: Worthy of Praise

Notoriety: popular, famous

Meretricious: fairly attractive while having in reality no value or integrity 

Contemptuous: showing contempt, scornful, 

Conceits: appreciative of one's worth value 

Ineffable: speechless, beyond description

Gaudy (gaudiness): too bright or showy, more or less tasteless 

Ramifications: a consequence (or effect) of an action or event 

A young reporter showed up to Gatsby's door on Gatsby's day off. Gatsby with a "laudable initiative" opened the door. We can interpret that he gracefully opened the door since he was awaiting Daisy to come after Gatsby's plan for Nick. 

until he felt short of being news - anything he did as close to being news like him walking outside 

We learn that James Gatz his his legal name and that he had it changed at 17. Or so it seemed since he invented it as a conception of his dream to be. 

he felt pressured as he was huanted at night 

He as a fisherman(sound fisher) , janitor, clamdigger, 

• Yesterday I mentioned the foreshadowing of seeing a picture of Dan Cody.  Who is he?  What is the REAL story of Jay Gatz?  How do alcohol and money figure into that story, and what does Gatz/Gatsby learn/take away as a result?
• Describe the conversation between Gatsby, Tom, and Mr. & Mrs. Sloane. Do these people like each other or enjoy each other's company?  Why are they hanging out with each other?
• Describe Tom and Daisy's experience at Gatsby's party. 
• Gatsby thinks that he can recreate the moments and the love that he and Daisy shared in Louisville.  He thinks that money will influence Daisy and get him what he wants.  Based on what you know about Daisy-- and what you know about life-- what do you think?

GATSBY- CHAPTER 5: NOTES AND THOUGHTS

In the beginning of the chapter, Gatsby goes all over his house. Nick compliments Gatsby as Gatsby walks towards him. Gatsby "waited, looking at me with suppresses eagerness" shows that he knew that Nick should already know the plan and was waiting for Nick to mention it. 

I smiled at the idea that he even let Nick choose the day which suited him because he did not want any trouble. He was trying to make it seem like he did not really mind or expect it to be NOW or SOON. Some people when asking a favor sound demanding and usually it lets down others and the favor does not get done.

During the small conversation, Gatsby introduces a delicate topic. He offered Nick a job in relation to Gatsby's little side business. At first, I thought the same thing, something in relation to Wolfshiem. Gatsby confirmed that it was not business with Wolfshiem, however, he ended up going home without any other word. Yet, on the day planned for Gatsby and Daisy, Gatsby sent a guy to cut Nick's grass. He seemed extremely worried and really wanting for this day to come because of his pale face and dark signs of sleeplessness beneath his eyes. Yet, it seemed like he as not a bit too happy for the hollowness in his voice. 

The scenery and environment gives off a sad feeling. A rainy day...

and Gatsby awaited with vacant eyes.

GRACELAND

PAUL SIMON 

Paul Simon is an American Musician. He sings and composes his own music, as well peruses an acting career. In 1986, Simon released his album Graceland on August 25. Starting with the Story of Graceland, it was really interesting that in that same year it was named Album of the Year. A family from South African had to come to the United States.

I believe this album qualifies as a topic taught in American Literature because it's produced and written in the United States. 

Today's Lecture 1/12 - 1/15

Evolution on his thinking

technology - not a big business

ceo - as many as 6 computers

bill gates said something half a megabite - 1000 gb

no one will ever need more than that phones avg 64 

it was not really a hobby that was pefesiional 

ppl inventing online services everyday 

no many users but many services

catcandy? taxi 

no formal education in tech --> it somehow spoke to you 

didnt matter your degree, just excitment and so much money and needed ppl so badly so the companies would be like well train you, here is your job 

who gets to be a ticktock star ? no degree, its just intresting (weird idea) 

overtime companies that exsist have gone done 

tech was not anyone could just make 

webcam - you go and you do it as long as your not hurting anyone else

the whole web is like 5 companies and 3 from china and 2 from russia 

40 years ago, 1st apple computer, election of ronald regan 

stop monolpolies , he was anti bcz he bleieved we didnt need it anymore 

back then, google wasnt allowed to buy youtube etc. 

every single eyewear brand is own by one and own every single retail like sunglasses, reading etc

in hollywood have been on strike bcz there is only 3 companies to represent them 

since april, everyscreen writier is on strike 

is not a tech change, its a global change, in everything 

like companies making tractors, there is only 2 now

its harder to start a eird idea and work for a sector or get e great deal 

things are being abusive, technology is spying 

trapped in wall gardens and if we climb over, we find ourselves in another one and bigger

Personal liberty - 

monopoly has been more powerful , few publisher 

what gives him hope- lawyer that studies history of copyright laws

there was a time when we didnt have the word ecology or environmental movement 

what unifies eveyone is that we all care about the living things on it. 

socially 

plurarism - power in many hands

self determination - make your own decsions 

poultyr producers only 2 

40 years ago we stop caring about these things 

more importzant than teaching the skill is how to approach 

tracks every student hacker public interest, 21 ways of hacking the system,

how to do it, what are its failure modes, how is this thing that puts us safe put us in danger

if you go to school in america, your school needs to have centership on networks that classifies your searches - paid money for this stuff

as a citizin, you are being kept safe, ground shifts underneath them, 

companies that provide these tools is to proivide these tools to national government

like south arbia 

work for the most operessisvie men on earth and repackagge this software for schools, 

freedom of information acts

can research corporate and go to pta and local newspaper and give a presentation and district of school 

we learned about technology 

$ change how it is spent and  

you do you 

adolecent how do you figure yourself out 

inspiration 

fatalism - doesnt matter what we do, things will be okay 

most important, what we do matters. 

3 week live watching election - undergrad teacher renasicance and pope

pope is elected by cardinals 

assigns everyone role, 3 weeks amke allainces, break alliances, and at the end of 4 weeks 

theater companies and and costumes

2 are always the same and 2 are always different, some people around them made a choice that made a differnece, how did hoe biden alays end up every year? they got there by choices made from 20 years ago or even 40 

we can make a difference all together or indivdually 

inspire them to hope 

although you cant figure how to get to the place you want to be, you will find it, inch by inch, doubling back and movieng forward --- underlying message of his work 

what work doe tech do and who for?

whos finger is on the botton, not who is going to push the botton 

advice: to leave off your writing half a sentence

1. how you feel about what you are writing at the momtn is different than the wuality of the work
