As Nick notices the details of Gatsby’s house for the first time, when it isn’t filled with people, how has his perception of the house changed?
What does the house represent? How has it changed throughout the story?
Does the piano symbolize anything? Remember, it is the site of Klipspringer’s song and the drunk woman's crying song.
Do you think Daisy is really crying because she thinks the shirts are beautiful? What might she really be crying about?
Why is the song on P.100 significant? How do the lyrics support or stray from the idea of the “Jazz Age”?
Why was Gatsby trying so hard to impress Daisy and Nick? Why wasn’t Gatsby worried about appearing arrogant then- but was so conscious about it before?
What is a Finn?
Will Gatsby’s wealth be enough for Daisy in the future? Would it be motivation enough for her to leave Tom? Did she marry Tom for his wealth?
Why does Gatsby that insist Mr. Klipspringer plays a song? Did he request this song (why)?
Futhermore, why does he go and hide in the shadows during the song?
What business is Gatsby in? Why is he eager to include Nick?
I just want to say that despite what Fitzgerald claims, you can not see by the light Gatsby emits. page 94
