GATSBY chapter 4 notes

The “truth” GATSBY tells Nick is that he is the son of some wealthy people from Middle West and they are all dead note. He was educated in Oxford. When his family died he got into a good deal of money. When the war came he felt a great relief and he tried to die. When he said Little Montenegro his faces lite up. Jorden tells Nick about Daisty. Daisy was two years older than her and was very popular. There was an incident with GATSBY, it was 1917 Jorden didn’t really see Daisy often. Rumors were spread about her that she had backed her bags to go to New York as said good-bye to a soldier, who was going overseas. So then she stopped playing around with the soldiers. By autumn she was happy again. She then was going to marry Tom in June, Jorden walked to her room and found Daisy lying on her bed. Daisy said “... I’d never seen a girl like that before.” and changed her mind on getting married then the next day she married Tom. GATSBY bought Daisy a house so she could be just across the bay.  From what I read both GATSBY and Jorden are telling Nick the truth, because they both give good details about what happened and they aren’t exaggerating about the events that occurred.

BNW chapter 8 ideas

1. Bernard asked John to explain “everything”  about his life since the beginning 2. Since Linda comes from the World State she is used to being in multiple relationships with many men all in one time. The effect that this issue brings to the Reservation is that people that are from the Reservation don’t live their life’s the same way as in the World State, they actually respect people’s relationship. John learns all about this when he is able to read. 3. Popé brings Linda mescal. 4. John hates Popé. John stabs Popé when he was sleeping with Linda. Popé just laughs and tells him to leave. 5.
