MR. JARED, SIR. I did exactly as you ordered me to do, sir. I went and took Miss Ruby those new supplies,” answered Booker.

The most crucial plot in the first chapter is that it is taking place in the past. In addition, the author introduces you to the narrator of the story Nick Carraway.

Foreshadowing – “ And there was the living room, signs of a struggle. I already knew Amy wasn’t phoning back.”(31) This gives the book a fairly dark twist, suggestion that the wife might be dead, or murdered.

1. Moments that are crucial to the plot of the story in this chapter include: the mention of Tom having an affair, and Nick noticing Gatsby for the first time. Another would be Gatsby reaching out towards the light near Daisy's house when Nick first spots him. One other is the implication that Daisy may know Gatsby.

Body 1: As the book begins to narrow down on the qualities of Jay Gatsby, the reader cannot help to notice the extravagant possessions he owns. On hot summer nights in the West Egg of New York, Gatsby would host gaudy parties every weekend for whomever wanted to attend. His intention was for his long lost lover from across the bay, Daisy Buchanan, to come to a party. Unfortunately, it wasn't until Nick Carraway brought her into one, months after he had been hosting. “...Every Friday, 5 crates of oranges and lemons arrived from a fruiterer...enough colored lights to cover a Christmas tree in Gatsby’s enormous garden...spiced baked hams crowded against salads of harlequin designs…” (39,40 Fitzgerald).

Cartoon #1: The first cartoon in the packet, with the quote “Loved our evening, Lou. Thanks for being rich,” reminds me of the scene where Gatsby and Daisy see each other again after almost five years. The first quote that reminds me of this picture is when Daisy says, “‘That huge place there?’ she cried pointing” (Page 90). Daisy says this when she first sees Gatsby mansion, and she is immediately mesmerized by his huge amount of wealth.

Tom’s lower lip trembled. “It’s my fault,” he whispered, his eyes shiny with tears. “I was so young, and I didn't know how to stop...”

As I sat there in the hotel, all was well until Tom accuses Gatsby of being a murderer and Gatsby lost his temper. I could tell Gatsby was furious at Tom and after he over reacted he tried to calm Daisy down but she just didn't feel the same way about Gatsby after this incident. After witnessing the fighting and constant arguing between Tom, Daisy, and Gatsby. Tom eventually sent Daisy off with Gatsby and I watched them as they awkwardly walk out to the car.

The brief contact sent a shiver of arousal down his spine, and flustered and confused by his overt display of affection, he stepped back, his face flaming red and a shy smile playing over his lips. He had no idea what had made him act so impulsively, and uncertainty quickened his pulse. His stomach rolled with a mixture of nerves and humiliation, and he quickly lowered his eyes to the floor, too embarrassed to meet Booker’s gaze. But as a lengthy silence hung in the air, he dared to peer up through his long lashes,

Quote 1: “I’ve lived across the street from you for 18 years… I shoveled your walk in winter. I cut your grass in summer… I didn’t think I had to ask you for your vote. He never forgot her response.
