Gatsby Chapter 8



1. Gatsby says that nothing happened and that Daisy didn't go to bed till 4 A.M.

2.  Nick tells Gatsby that he should run away and leave because they would track the car and blame him for it. Gatsby argues that he shouldn't leave now that he had made it so far.

3. Gatsby said that Daisy couldn't wait for him because she wanted something and someone she could physically feel. She wanted someone at that time that's why she married Tom. He also tries to deny the fact that maybe Daisy did love Tom.

4. The gardener said that he would  empty the pool so the leaves wouldn't clog the pipes. I think that F. Scott tried to help us foreshadow that something because Gatsby told him to not  do it today. Then he tells Nick that Gatsby hasn't been inside the pool all summer. When Gatsby says he wants to swim one last time is almost intended to make it sound like his last wish before he dies.

5. Fitzgerald resembles to Shakespear by having the character foreshadow things. It also shows that George himself is rushing into a action that will harm him and somebody else just the way some characters in Romeo and Juliet do.
