Wisconsin) - Answer -His father ran a Wholesale Hardware business.
What advice had Nick's father given him that had to do with advantages Nick had? -

criticizing anyone, he told me, "just remember that all people in this world haven't had
the advantages that you've had."
*Nick had advantages, Dad had successful business.*
What college did Nick attend? - Answer -Yale
What college did Tom Buchanan attend? - Answer -Yale
Which Egg, East Egg or West Egg, was more "fashionable" according to the narrator? -
Answer -The East Egg is seen as more fashionable; born into money Daisy and Tom
lived there.
On which Egg did people who had "old money" (money that had been in the family for
generations) live? - Answer -The East Egg.
How are Nick Carraway and Daisy Buchanan related? Be specific. - Answer -They are
second cousins, once removed.
What is your first impression of Tom, and why? - Answer -My first impression of Tom
was that he is a very very rich man. I also thought he was a bad guy because he is
cheating on his wife.
What is your first impression of Daisy, and why? - Answer -My first impression of Daisy
is that she's a beautiful girl but annoying. She can be intelligent sometimes when she
talks about certain things, though. (Ex.) Talking about how she hopes her daughter will
be a beautiful, little fool.)
(True/False) Nick was engaged to a girl out West. - Answer -False
, What little secret does Jordan Baker tell Nick about Tom? - Answer -She tells Nick that
Tom has some woman in New York and shushes him so she can listen to Tom and
Daisy's argument.
In what city did Daisy and Jordan grow up together? - Answer -Louisville, Kentucky.
What sport had Tom excelled in that he never seemed to get past (definitely his "glory
days" - had not done anything really great since then)? - Answer -Football (Played at
Yale University)
Whom did Daisy hope would be a "beautiful little fool," and why might she say that? -
Answer -When Daisy says that she hopes her daughter will be a "beautiful little fool" she
means that she wants her daughter to be a "fool" so that she does not understand the
cruel reality that society, at the time, valued only a woman's appearance and not her
intelligence. Her daughter will also be able to find a husband a lot easier along with
money.
Nick thought, "It seemed to me that the thing for Daisy to do was to rush out of the
house, child in arms - but apparently there were no such intentions in her head." What
prompted him to think this? - Answer -He is disgusted that Daisy won't leave Tom
because of what he has done to her. He feels this way because he thinks marriage
should be filled with love and togetherness.
When Nick went home and saw Gatsby outside he wanted to introduce himself, but
Gatsby was trembling and seemed to be stretching out his arms toward what was
across the Sound? - Answer -He was stretching his arms out to a green light across the
water.
(T/F) Nick was one of the few invited guests to Gatsby's parties. - Answer -True
(T/F) Some people went to Gatsby's parties without ever meeting Gatsby. - Answer -
True

Honest
What were two things Nick found out Jordan had done that showed she was a
dishonest person? BE SPECIFIC. - Answer -- She left the top down in a car she
borrowed, and it was raining. She then lied about it.
- At Jordan's first big golf tournament there was a suggestion that she had moved her
ball in the semifinals round. A caddy retracted his statement, and another witness
admitted he might have been mistaken. (Perhaps they were paid off?)

Gatsby? - Answer -- He heard that Gatsby was a German spy during the war.
- He heard that Gatsby had killed a man.
