  2. Rumors surround Jay Gatsby • “He’s a bootlegger” • “He killed a man who found out … he was the nephew of Von Hindenburg and second cousin to the devil.”

  3. Attendants of Gatsby’s wild parties • Some of the awkward attendants were • The Leeches • James B. (“rot-gut””) Ferret • Klipspringer “the boarder” • The Quinns- a divorced couple • Henry L. Palmetto- jumped in front of the subway • Benny McClenahan- a 1922 womanizer-each woman’s last name was that of a FLOWER • The “’ Stonewall Jackson’ Abrams of Georgia”

  4. Gatsby attendants (cont.) • Doctor Webster Civet-drowned in Maine • Willie Voltaire • A clan named Blackbuck-sit in corners and turn up their noses like goats • Edgar Beaver-wordplay • Ripley Snells-his story • The hammerheads • Beluga and his daughters

  5. GA (cont.) • Newton Orchid-filmmaker • The Catlips • Ernest Lilly • George Duckweed • Francis Bull

  6. Gatsby’s life story • He swears he will tell the truth- this is a lie • Son of a wealthy family in the Midwest • Went to Oxford-snooty school in England • He states that he lived in San Francisco • He lived all over the world like a king

  7. Gatsby the Masochist • Gatsby tells Nick that when he was in the war he accepted the position of first lieutenant • He attempted to die numerous times • His story • His medal is inscribed to Major Jay Gatsby the Latin translates to being from “Nicolas the king” • Nick believes him.

  8. Meyer Wolfsheim is met • “Small flat-nosed Jew” with a moustache • Dark eyes • Easily distracted • Wolfsheim’s history of Jay- identical to Jay’s auto biography • His cufflinks have human molars on them • He is fifty • Wolfsheim fixed the 1919 World Series

  9. Why did she marry Tom at all? • She wanted more than a promise of love • She felt alone in a crowd • She could have married him because he was rich • Or because he showered her with expensive things

  10. Love Story-Call Me Maybe • Daisy was eighteen when she met Gatsby • 1917, October • She tries to run to New York to see a boy (we assume it is Gatsby) off to the War • Meets Tom • Married him against her own better judgment (she was drunk)

  11. Daisy’s wedding • She was beautiful as a June night in her flowered dress • Drunk as a skunk • She has a bottle of white wine in one hand and a letter in the other • Says Jordan can return the pearls to Tom that she has changed her mind she’s not going through with it • The maid and Jordan give her a cold bath and she goes through with the marriage anyway

  12. Tom’s list • Daisy seemed to be crazy about Tom • In Santa Barbara Tom wrecked his car • The woman that was with him was a chamber maid at the hotel (first sign of his disloyalty) • The next April their daughter was born • Maybe Daisy didn’t marry Tom for love

  13. Why does Gatsby live in West Egg? • Nick assumes that this is a coincidence • Gatsby bought the house directly across the bay from Daisy • He wants to meet Daisy at Nicks house • Gatsby wants to see her again to know he hasn’t been away from her that long
