THE GREAT GATSBY CHAPTER9 By Dylan, Jess, Chelsea, & Melanie
Summary During Chapter 9: • Gatsby’s funeral • Gatsby’s Schedule • Nick and Jordan “breakup” • Mr. Wolfsheim vs. Mr. Gatz • Overall Themes and Symbolism in the chapter
Gatsby’s Funeral • Nick decides to take care of all the details of Gatsby’s funeral. • The only people that actually show up for Gatsby's funeral is “Owl Eyes” and Nick. • People such as Wolfsheim and Klipspringer used Gatsby their whole life and didn’t even have any sense of moral to attend the funeral. “I found myself on Gatsby’s side, and alone.”
Schedule of the Past Gatsby’s schedule is very important in that it shows the true “American” boy that Gatsby was. This thought out routine was written on a fly-leaf in Hopalong Cassidy. Also this schedule can be compared to Ben Franklin’s self-improvement plan. This schedule can be seen as a determined American who is hard-working and look for a little adventure.
Nick’s Dream West Egg based off of El Greco’s “View on Toledo”
