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
