Chapter 3

Explanation of Pictures: The picture on the left is of a garden. I chose this picture because in this chapter Gatsby a party at his house. His house is beautiful and has amazing blue gardens. This picture of the right is of a car with a missing wheel. This represents Owl eye's car accident at the end of the chapter

Quotes:

1.) " ' it's more that he was a German spy during the war.' " (pg 48)

Significance: This shows that Gatsby is very mysterious and most people don't know anything about him. Everyone just uses him for his wealth.

2.) " ' Absolutely real- have pages and everything. I thought they'd be a nice durable cardboard. Matter of fact they're absolutely real. (pg 50)

Significance: This shows that Gatsby actually is intelligent and rich unlike most people. Most of these people pretend to be intelligent by putting fake libraries in their house just for show.

3.) " A man in a long duster had dismounted from the wreck and now stood in the middle of the road looking from the car to the tire and from the tire to the observers in a pleasant puzzled way". (pg 58)

4.) " I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known". (pg 64)

Significance: This shows that no one in this book is honest at all and everyone is just fake all the time.

Analysis:

One of the themes F. Scott Fitzgerald displays in this chapter is the use of colors to represent people. For example, they say Gatsby has blue gardens, the color blue through this novel represents sadness. Gatsby is sad because he is lonely even though he is surrounded by people. Gatsby has golden turkeys, gold represent wealth and power in this chapter. Jordan Baker's arm is referred to as being golden. This is a representation of her status. All throughout this chapter and the hole book color are used to represent people.
