Myrtle was just running away from Wilson because he had locked her up.

driving Gatsby's yellow car earlier that day, so she thought that he was still driving it and
was flagging him down.
Why does Wilson believe that Gatsby killed Myrtle? - Answer-Wilson believes this
because Tom told him that the yellow car belonged to Gatsby.

What kind of person is Daisy? - Answer-Daisy is a kind and charming person who is
engaging and makes people feel like there is no one that she would rather see. She
seems to be a happy person while also having an underlying sadness to her. Having

On pg. 2, when introducing his story, the narrator talks about why he left the East
(meaning that after all of the novel's events happen, the narrator leaves). How does he
seem to feel about the East and the people in it? - Answer-He doesn't like the people in
the East and feels that it is not moral. Gatsby was the only man in the East that he didn't
hate. Something happened to Gatsby that made him hate the East even more. So in
other words, everything surrounding Gatsby is what made Nick hate the East.
When asked about her daughter, what does Daisy say? - Answer-When questioned,
Daisy at first just says that they don't know each other well and that hardship has made
her cynical, but eventually she just says that when her daughter was born, she said that
she was glad it was a girl but hoped that she would be a fool because the best thing that
a girl can be is a beautiful fool.
Why couldn't Nick get anyone to come to Gatsby's funeral? - Answer-Nick couldn't get
anyone to come because Gatsby has no friends or people in his life that actually care
about him. Everyone that came to his parties during the summer were only there to

, Wolfsheim just makes excuses and is too shady to come, and Klipspringer cares more
about getting the shoes he left at Gatsby's back.
Who is Henry C. Gatz? - Answer-Henry C. Gatz is Gatsby's father.
What is the book Henry Gatz shows Nick? - Answer-Henry shows Nick Hopalong
Cassidy. It has one of Gatsby's old schedules in it.

much money has really corrupted him.
