Dear Journal,

Today has been quite a ride, a "long" ride, I never knew something like this could have happen today. I feel so agitated, scared for Daisy for which she may be in trouble for any law enforcement of the sorts and for if Tom would feel about what Daisy has done Myrtle, from me worrying about Daisy so much I sent Nick to go and check up on her to see if she will be alright and I'll stay there and keep a watch out just encase of any danger that might come Tom or anybody else that wants to hurt Daisy.

a. His name is Jay Gatsby, he changed it to James Gatz. His parents was shiftless and unsuccessful farm people. He went to a small Lutheran college named St. Olaf and worked as a janitor there for two months then drifted back to Lake Superior.He worked many jobs for Dan Cody for 5 years, later Gatsby was supposed to inherit 25,000 but he was never able to get it.

b. There was more negative things said about him then the ones now, for example someone said that he had killed someone before.

c. I believe that Jay Gatsby is more wild and would do anything to get money and reputation in parties, for James Gatz, he is more calm and thinks about how his future is going to be later down in his life.

d. Tom dislikes the way Gatsby handles himself socially and reasoning of why Daisy is always visiting him .

1. Based on what is told about the "Valley of Ashes"; it is a place that produces ash or dust just like a farm that produces vegetables all around the area without stopping, pretty much a dumping ground. It's symbolic to show where poor people would live during the time period. It was a place to dump ashes by using the train to do so. T.J. Eckleburg is pretty much and overseer to look after the "Valley of Ashes" and its people living there.

2. Described from the book, Wilson was a blond, spiritless, anemic and faintly handsome man. Wilson ask tom when is he going to sell a car to him and tom told him next week because his friend is working on it, when Wilson replied to that by that he works kind of slow, Tom completely changed from being happy to cold and telling Wilson that if he feels that way then he might just sell it to someone else. Tom was a little uncomfortable on how tom treated him, I felt mad from how Tom treated Wilson and his wife treated him as if he was a ghost.

3. The significance would be the fact that the rich has power over the poor, making that tom could tell the man what to do.

4. "At a man named Gatsby's. Do you know him?" pg. 36, "Neither of them can stand the person they're married to." pg. 37, "It's really his wife that's keeping them apart." pg. 38, " I married him because I thought he was a gentleman". pg. 39,

5.To show where the poor would live, how they was treated,  and tell how Tom really is.

From reading the first chapter of "The Great Gatsby", I felt that the author explained and described a little to much to my liking, the author would tell you exactly how something would look like but the author would also want to compare and contrast details of it's description to something else to help make you picture it perfectly. I believe that there is nothing wrong with that but there is just to much of it, from trying to imagine the description to trying to read the characters dialog and processing both information just makes it feel tired-sum.
