1 Chapter Nine Note-Taking and Summarizing Notes Question Connect Summarize Reflect 2009 Secondary Solutions The Great Gatsby Literature Guide

2 Chapter Nine Comprehension Check Directions: To give you a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of the novel, answer the following questions. Be sure to use your Note-Taking chart to keep important notes for each chapter and to help you answer the Comprehension Check questions. Use a separate piece of paper to answer each question in complete sentences. 1. Why is Nick in charge of arranging Gatsby s funeral? Why is this surprising? 2. How does Henry Gatz hear about the funeral? 3. Why does Klipspringer call Gatsby s house? 4. Why does Mr. Gatz show Nick Gatsby s schedule from his youth? What does this show you about the kind of person Gatsby was meant to be? Why do you think this was an important/unimportant part of the novel? 5. Why do you think Fitzgerald included that the owl-eyed man came to Gatsby s funeral? Why do you think the owl-eyed man might have come? 6. What happens to Nick and Jordan s relationship? 7. What had Tom told George about the car the afternoon of the shooting? Why did Tom feel justified? 8. Do you agree with Nick s statement They were careless people, Tom and Daisy they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made...? Justify your response. *9. In his final comment, Nick says: Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that s no matter tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther... And one fine morning So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past? What does this quote mean? Why is this quote significant to the theme of the American Dream in the novel? 2009 Secondary Solutions The Great Gatsby Literature Guide

3 Chapter Nine Standards Focus: Theme Theme is the central idea or message in a work of literature. The theme of a piece of literature should not be confused with the subject of the work: theme is a general statement about life or human nature. Most themes are not completely obvious and must be inferred by the reader. A reader must take a good look at the entire novel: the title, plot, characters, setting, and mood, which all work together to reveal the themes in a piece of literature. Directions: For numbers 1-6, a theme from the novel has been chosen. Find a quote from the text which best illustrates each theme. For numbers 7-9, a quote has been taken directly from the text. Write some other themes these quotes reveal or suggest. 1. Theme: Money is the root of all evil. 2. Theme: You cannot repeat the past. 3. Theme: There are limits to the idea of the American Dream. 4. Theme: Money and materialism lead to corruption. 5. Theme: People don t always get what they deserve Secondary Solutions The Great Gatsby Literature Guide

4 6. Theme: Some people try to be someone they are not, displaying false pretenses. 7. It s a great advantage not to drink among hard drinking people. You can hold your tongue, and, moreover, you can time any little irregularity of your own so that everybody else is so blind that they don t see or care. Theme: 8. They were careless people, Tom and Daisy they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made... Theme: 9. Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that s no matter tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther... And one fine morning So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. Theme: 2009 Secondary Solutions The Great Gatsby Literature Guide

5 Chapter Nine Standards Focus: Colors as Symbols As mentioned in the symbolism activity from Chapter Five, symbols are found throughout the novel The Great Gatsby. One type of symbol that is particularly prevalent is color. Colors have connotations, or additional meaning associated with them. These connotations can be crucial in deciphering the meaning and importance behind characters, images, or objects. Directions: Using your own experience and background, complete the activity below. An example has been done for you. White 1. When you think of the color white, what images come to your mind? (List 5) white wedding dress, white dove, snow, white unlined paper, Doctor s lab coat 2. What abstract nouns or adjectives come to mind? (List 5) purity, innocence, peace, cleanliness, sterility 3. References to white: a. In Chapter One, the Buchanan s house is described as a cheerful red and white Georgian Colonial mansion overlooking the bay. b. In Chapter Four, Jordan describes when she met Daisy: "From Louisville. Our white girlhood was passed together there. Our beautiful white " c. In Chapter Four, Jordan reminisces about Daisy: She dressed in white, and had a little white roadster and all day long the telephone rang in her house and excited young officers from Camp Taylor demanded the privilege of monopolizing her that night, "anyways, for an hour!" 4. Daisy is usually associated with the color white. Find an example (that has not already been used) from the text in which Daisy is associated with the color white. Nick describes seeing Daisy and Jordan: The only completely stationary object in the room was an enormous couch on which two young women were buoyed up as though upon an anchored balloon. They were both in white, and their dresses were rippling and fluttering as if they had just been blown back in after a short flight around the house. 5. Do you agree with the association? Why or why not? Explain your answer using examples from the text. I disagree with the idea that Daisy is associated with the ideas of purity, innocence, and peace, especially since Daisy was the one who killed Myrtle and then did not confess to the crime. She was guilty and had no problem covering up the truth and letting Gatsby take the blame for her accident. Cream, Gold, Yellow 1. When you think of the colors cream, gold, or yellow, what images come to your mind? (List 5) 2009 Secondary Solutions The Great Gatsby Literature Guide

6 2. What abstract nouns or adjectives come to mind? (List 5) References to Cream, Gold, or Yellow a. Gatsby s car is described as cream-colored, then yellow. b. The girls in yellow at Gatsby s party in Chapter Three. c. Mrs. Wilson had changed her costume some time before and was now attired in an elaborate afternoon dress of cream colored chiffon, which gave out a continual rustle as she swept about the room. 3. The most important yellow object is Gatsby s car, which was used to kill Myrtle. Find an example from the text describing Gatsby s car. 4. How well does your list of abstract nouns and adjectives in #2 above work to describe the car that killed Myrtle? How are your connections to the colors cream, gold, and yellow Copyright different Secondary from the way Solutions. Gatsby's car All is Rights portrayed? Reserved. Green 1. When you think of the color green what images come to your mind? (List 5) 2. What abstract nouns or adjectives come to mind? (List 5) References to Green a. The green light at the end of Daisy s dock 2009 Secondary Solutions The Great Gatsby Literature Guide

7 b. In Chapter Six, Daisy jokes with Nick: "These things excite me SO," she whispered. "If you want to kiss me any time during the evening, Nick, just let me know and I'll be glad to arrange it for you. Just mention my name. Or present a green card. I'm giving out green " c. Michaelis told the first policeman that he believed the car that hit Myrtle was a light green. 3. The green light at the end of Daisy s dock is a significant image throughout the novel. Find an example from the text describing the light at the end of the dock. 4. Do you agree with the association between your idea(s) of the color green (as listed in #2 above) and the depiction of the green light at the end of the dock? What else could the green light at the end of Daisy's dock symbolize? Gray 1. When you think of the color gray, what images come to your mind? (List 5) 2. What abstract nouns or adjectives come to mind? (List 5) References to Gray a. Wilson's glazed eyes turned out to the ashheaps, where small grey clouds took on fantastic shapes and scurried here and there in the faint dawn wind. b. Dan Cody is described as a a grey, florid man with a hard, empty face in Chapter Six. c. Wilson s suit takes on a gray color after the ashes of the valley fades his white suit: A white ashen dust veiled his dark suit and his pale hair as it veiled everything in the vicinity except his wife, who moved close to Tom. 3. The most dominating color of the valley of ashes is gray. Find an example from the text describing the grayness of the valley of ashes Secondary Solutions The Great Gatsby Literature Guide

8 4. Do you agree with the association? Why or why not? Explain your answer using examples from the text. Blue 1. When you think of the color blue, what images come to your mind? (List 5) 2. What abstract nouns or adjectives come to mind? (List 5) References to Blue a. The eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg are described as blue, with enormous yellow spectacles. b. In [Gatsby s] blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars. c. A chauffeur in a uniform of robin's egg blue crossed my lawn early that Saturday morning with a surprisingly formal note from his employer the honor would be entirely Gatsby's, it said, if I would attend his little party that night. 3. The color blue is not as obvious a reference as other colors in the novel. The eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg and Wilson are both blue. Why do you think Fitzgerald made both character s eyes blue? What meaning could this have? 2009 Secondary Solutions The Great Gatsby Literature Guide

1. Why do you think Fitzgerald use Nick s point of view to narrate Gatsby s story?
