THE GREAT GATSBY REMIX

So far in "The Great Gatsby".............. I understand what the book is trying to tell it's readers but I don't fully understand it. All I know is that Gatsby isn't really mentioned in the book even though the book is entitled after him, Tom is cheating on Daisy with Myrtle, nobody likes Tom because he's a douche, etc.....

So for my remix I'm going to ask some questions that will hopefully help me understand the book better...

•Why is Gatsby a mysterious person and mostly nobody knows who he is or how he is? 

•If Tom is cheating on Daisy with Myrtle, then why doesn't he divorce her already? 

•Why isn't Gatsby at his own party!?!? 🤔

•Does Nick like Jordan?? 🙄🤔

Gatsby Notes

• Gayety- State or qualities
• Spectroscopic- energy about the event
• Book symbol- Gatsby doesn't want people to think that he's fake

• Why isn't Gatsby at his own party? Isn't the right thing for the host to he present at their one. Party welcoming its guest?

•Superficiality- how people look at each other

•Quote "This is an unusual party for me. I haven't even seen the host"

•Gatsby's word- "Old Sport"
•Expectaion of Gatsby- florid and corpulent person in his middle years.

• The lonely crowd- it's considered lonely because in a big party nobody seems to pay attention to you due to the big number of people there.
