Post 2 Paula Orozco

-->So far, my predictions have been confirmed but they were not too risky... That's why now I decided to be a bit more "adventurer": I think that what will happen next is that Tom discovers Daisy's affair with Gatsby, so he forces her to move far away from West Egg. If that's OK Daisy is the unhappy woman in the cover and my Voice Thread prediction would be completly correct!!

-->The quote I'll select now is:
"They had forgotten me, but Daisy glanced up and held out her hand; Gatsby didn't know me now at all. I looked once more at them and they looked back at me, remotely, possessed by intense life."

I've chosen this quotation because of the way Nick express the intense moment between Gatsby and Daisy as if they feel full of life and love. By reading it, I can imagine how uncomfortable Nick felt there and I understand his decision of leaving them together. I can't say why, but Nick's way of speaking make me laugh! May be it's because of the way I imagine he expresses his feelings. 

-->The changes I noticed were: 
1- We now know about Gatsby and his parties, we also know what people think of him. Then, Gatsby invents a story of his life but finally tells Nick the real one.
2- There's more descriptions about Jordan Baker, she is a golf player, dishonest but anyway Nick is beginning to be in love with her.
3- It's explained why Gatsby lives there and why he gives so many parties.
4- The "romance" begins again between Gatsby and Daisy, so we can see that Daisy is not  so innocent after all...
5- Tom is shown as jealous because he can perceive his wife's affair.

  1. Adventurous indeed!
    Are you sure Gatsby tells Nick the truth about his past?
    Why is Tom jealous? Does he really love Daisy?

  2. Well... As we were talking today it's impossible to be sure about Gatsby's past through Nick's words but well, I want to believe that!! haha. Anyway, what I meant really was that Gatsby trusted Nick at least a bit more...
    And as regards Tom, he's jealous because he is may be a possessive man and he doesn's want to lose in any aspect of his life. He doesn't really love Daisy that's why he's been cheating on her for so long.
