My own h@use was an eyesore...” (5) “Across the courtesy bay th es of fashionable East Egg glittere the water...” (5) “A breeze blew through the room, blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags twisting up toward the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling, and then rippled over the wine colored rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea.” (p7) I chose this quote because I think it shows that Daisy is caught up in herself, and that itis apparent to Nick. It also shows that despite the fact that she’s all about herself, she is still charming and somewhat endearing, This quote shows that Daisy has become cynical and believes that women are better off being fools. I chose it because I think Fitzgerald is making a blanket statement here about women and their roles in society/life. 1 think he is saying that the less ic status and her husband put her in a is looked at as “sophisticated.” This tant to remember as I read that Nick is not like all of the people around him- he does not have money or live in a mansion, he just happened to ‘come upon a cheap little house in the middle of the money and mansions. In this quote Nick sets East Egg apart from West Egg. I chose it because although West Beg has large houses, Nick makes a point to record how much more glamorous East Ege is. I think the setting of the two places says something about the people who live in each place. 1 liked this quote about the setting because it shows how elegant and fancy the Buchanan’s house is. Fitzgerald makes sure that the reader knows that they have money; even the words he uses paint images of wealth: wedding-cake, wine colored, etc.3. Nick Cxse 1 Jay Gatsby 2. Nick Carraway 4.
