Day 17!

Today, we will discuss the questions from last week, and then we will move right along to Chapter 8! 

Here are the focus questions for Chapter 8, please have them prepared for class tomorrow! 

1. What had prompted Gatsby to talk freely to Nick now, when he was unwilling to do so in the past?
2. What further information do we learn about Gatsby?
3. Explain Nick’s meaning when he balances Gatsby’s supposed “corruption” against his “incorruptible dream.”
4. How does Wilson view the “eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg”? Does Wilson’s statement have a symbolic level for the novel as a whole? Explain.

5. Trace the movements of Gatsby and Wilson at the end of Chapter 8. What is Nick’s meaning when he says, “…the holocaust was complete”?
