So far my predictions in the Voice Thread have been quite well, as I said it was situated in the United States,  was related to wealthy families and with dances. But, up to now, nothing is mentioned about a character that is not happy with something!

-->The quotation I've chosen is:
"I lived at West Egg, the- well, the less fashionable of the two, though this is a most superficial tag to express the bizarre and not a little sinister contrast between them."
I chose it because he made me laugh with that description. I can imagine Nick expressing that idea with a sense of humor and a touch of irony... His poor house was squeezed between two huge places that made it look even more horrible!

-->Characters:
Nick Carraway: the novel's narrator and  member of a well-to do family. He is a tolerant person, a hard worker (in the bond business), a veteran of the war and because of his father's piece of advice, he is declined to reserve judgements.

Daisy Buchanan: Nick's second cousin and Tom's Buchanan's wife. She was described as a charming woman with a thirilling voice, with a sad and lovely face.

Tom Buchanan: Daisy's unfaithful and violent husband. He was a football player at College and member of a enormously wealthy family. He was a sturdy straw-haired mand of thirty, with arrogant eyes and a cruel body.

Jordan Baker: Daisy's friend, well-known for playing a sport.

Jay Gatsby: Nick's wealthy neighbour and the protagonist of the novel.

Myrtle Wilson: Tom's lover under the pretext that she was totally unhappy with her marriage.

-->I think Gatsby and Nick will be very close friends and that Nick and Jordan will part a love story...
