This represents the difference between the two islands. West Egg is considered the New Rich and East Egg is considered the Old Rich.
Group Two Dialectical Journal Chapter One GROUP TWO:
SUMMARY - The narrator (Nick) is talking about his family and how he was in the great war. He's talking about where he lives and where he used to live. Daisy is his second cousin and he knows Tom from college, whom is married to Daisy. He's at daisy's house talking to Tom. They are rich and Tom is kind of arrogant. They live in the west egg, and Nick lives in the East egg. There is a big difference between East and West Egg. The phone rings and the butler goes into the house to answer it and comes back and tells Tom it's for him. Daisy followed soon after, and Mrs. Baker was trying to listen to them in the house. Daisy was saying how Jordan (Ms. Baker) only has one relative so she wants Nick to take care of her. Tom and Daisy heard that Nick was engaged, but it is a lie. When Nick gets home he sees his neighbor, The Gatsby, he decides call him.
QUOTE - "When I looked once more for Gatsby he had vanished, and I was alone again in the unquiet darkness." (21)
chapter one response: Nick thinks the dinner party is awkward because Jordan and Tom are bored and preocupied throughout the night. Nick seems to be fascinated by his neighbor Gatsby but we dont have enough information in chapter one to know why.
Zack Response to Chapter One- I think that the first chapter set a mysterious tone for the book because they describe Gatsby briefly at the end of the chapter. At the end of the chapter they leave it with a little cliff hanger because they describe Gatsby just staring out across the bay at a green light
CHAPTER ONE RESPONSE BY ASHLEY BERGERON: Tom seems to be really snobby and thinks he is better than everyone else and it's kind of annoying. Daisy is pretty nice and I have no idea who Jordan is and why she is even with them. And if Daisy knows that Tom has another woman in New York then I don't know why she is with him, probably the money. I don't know why there was a rumor that Nick was engaged.
Tom and Nick take a train to New York so that Nick can meet "Tom's girl." They get off the train at George Wilson's auto garage who is Tom's Mistress's husband. Myrtle tells George she's going to visit her sister and they all get onto the train and head for New York to the apartment. On the way, Myrtle buys a puppy. They go to the appartment and Myrtle invites her sister Catherine. They all start to drink and were having a good time. catherine says that Daisy is keeping Tom and her from getting a divorse because she's catholic, but Daisy isn't really Catholic. Myrtle wouldn't stop saying Daisy's name and Tom broke her nose. Nick left the apartment.
Quote: "But above the grey land and the spasms of bleak dust which drift endlessly over it, you percieve, after a moment, the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg."
chapter three summary: Nick got invited to Gatsby's party by one of his cheauffers. He went to the party and recognized some of the people there from the train. He ran into Jordan Baker at the party and they ate dinner together. Jordan wanted to leave so Nick and her went around the house looking for Gatsby. On their way they came across a drunk man in Gatsby's library. Nick and Jordan finally went outside and Nick started talking to a man who ended up being Gatsby. Gatsby said he recognized him from the war. Gatsby invited Nick to go hydroplaning in the morning. Nick stayed at the party later than expected and on his way home he saw that the drunk man had gotten into a car accident.
quote: Jordan "I hope you never will," she answered. "I hate careless people. That's why i like you."
Nick and Jordan are both starting to have feelings for each other like Tom and Daisy had hoped. Nick admired Jordan for being so well known.
