Socratic seminar on The Great Gatsby notes

- Myrtle loves money more than Tom

- before ww1 the arch duke of Austria was assassinated and then the war started , its almost the same same as if Daisy wasn't driving or took a different turn than maybe Myrtle wouldn't have died therefore Gatsby wouldn't have died

- Gatsby is like Richard Cory because many people were envious of him and wanted to be like him but in the end they both  die BUT Gatsby didn't kill himself like Richard Cory did...Richard Cory was unhappy but no one ever noticed Gatsby was unhappy because he didn't have Daisy's love.

- Daisy is either w ver weak women because she couldnt leave Tom
or she was a very strong woman that was selfish and was only with Tom for money

- The THREE SYMBOLS that showed up throughout the book was the Green light, ash heaps, and the eyes of T.J. Ekelburg

Chapter 8 notes

-the story took a dark turn fast with Myrtles death in chapter 7

-the theme is now death

- with the theme being death its a universal theme because every human knows what death is and can relate to it in one way or another

- Nick went over to Gatsby's house and when he left they said goodbye a lot, it felt like the story was gonna end there

- It turns out that it was there last goodbye because.....Gatsby was shot and killed by Wilson

-Wilson killed himself after killing Gatsby

- Gatsby is now dead... that hasn't really sunk in yet to be honest

-The book foreshadowed his death by making the season Fall when trees are losing there leaves and things die

-Gatsby's house was also not really "alive" anymore there was dust, a musty smell, stale cigarettes, just very gloomy and dead
