The Great Gatsby ch. 8 and 9 (Colors! ("Laid away already in…

- - - - In the beginning we discussed how the character's houses reflect one another, so when Daisy's house is the most "beautiful house" he'd ever seen it isn't shocking,
      - It excites Gatsby that many men had already loved Daisy because it "increases here value in his eyes"? (149)
        Gatsby sees this as a game, like who can win Daisy. Maybe this is why he can never have her. Also that's so rude like he's talking like Daisy is an object
      - 149- gatsby is selfish and in my opinion doesn't really love Daisy, he just thinks he does. If he loved here he would want what's best for her and he basically just admitted that he can't take care of her
      - Might sound dumb but I am a little confused as to whether this is the first time Gatsby gets drafted or a new time after reuniting with Daisy but I'm pretty sure it's a second time
      - weird thought It's kind of ironic that this story is about the American dream and Daisy is like Gatsby's dream but the thing that really screwed up their relationship with America itself because Gatsby got drafted
      - "I didn't want to go to the city" but earlier Nick loved the city when he sounded like a stalker? (153)
        
        Just realized that it was shots, plural, so when the "detective bent over wilson's body" (163) it implies that after shooting Gatsby he killed himself
        
        Already getting mad because girls are going to be like "Oh he died for Daisy" but it's like no he was murdered he didn't even know he had no choice
        
        Why is Gatsby choosing to swim now?
        
        "pneumatic" full of gas or air. Could he really not just say pool float or something? 161
        
        Just wondering, why is it this guy had to ask where Gatsby's house was? Isn't Gatsby like known by everyone?
        
        1 more item...
        
        "Do not know his family at all" I don't even think Gatsby knew him family at all quite honestly (166)
        
        I wish nick stayed on the phone longer with that drug dealer dude, kind of wanted more info from him (167)
        
        Whoa Gatsby's dad came? He seems like a normal dude, what happened with Gatsby?
        
        I normally don't feel bad for Gatsby but in this case I do because no one is really gonna show up for him at his funeral... I mean Daisy most likely won't be there
        
        What if Daisy still doesn't know about Gatsby's death and when she gets the message he's already buried and she doesn't get to say goodbye?
        
        So Gatsby wasn't lying about all the war stuff, he actually did get a ton of medals and stuff (170)
        
        It's weird I feel like Gatsby's dad knows him but doesn't at the same time
        
        I wish they'd give a description of what the dad looks like so I could try to imagine what Gatsby looks like. Right now I'm just getting Italian vibes because of the beard
        
        I didn't really like Gatsby throughout the entire book but I'll admit it's heartbreaking no one came to his funeral
        
        Everything is cold and dead after Gatsby died
        
        Still mad we haven't heard from Daisy, if it ends without word from her I am going to be livid
        
        Garden!!! Page 179
        
        Also from 178 wow Tom sucks like really sucks. What a coward.
        
        Speechless.
      - Gatsby can't manage to shake off Daisy because "she was the first 'nice' girl he had ever known" (148)
      - It's crazy how thousands of people showed up to Gatsby's party but now that he's dead it says no one "but more police and photographers and newspaper men" showed up (165)
