In the first few chapters I have so far read that Nick Carraway, the narrator, announces that he is writing his account two years after the events he is talking about. Age twenty-nine, in the spring of 1922 he travels East from his midwestern home to work as a bond salesman in New York. He has rented a house on West Egg, in between the mansions along the shore of Long Island Sound. He knows nobody except his distant cousin Daisy Buchanan, who lives with her wealthy husband Tom on East Egg, across the bay. Nick drives over to dinner with the couple, who he has not seen in years, and their guest Jordan Baker. Tom, an athletic polo player, betrays his cocky arrogance as he tells of a racist theory he has read. Daisy's magical voice compels Nick forward to listen to her, but he suspects her sincerity when she says she is unhappy. I am a little confused at whats going on, but I think I get the main jist of it. Also I cannot figure out how to get my wordle document onto my blog.
Jimmy, I noticed something different in your blog from others I have read. You didn't really focus on just one chapter like myself and other people. I like how you did that and also how you admitted you were confused on some parts.
ReplyDeleteIn your post you clarified a few things for me that i did not know about. I did not know that he is writing his accounts two years after they have taken place. Also i liked how you talked about some of the stuff you were confused about cause i also am a little bit confused about whats going on.
