Gatsby notes #2

What I found interesting about today’s read was that we really got to know who Tom really is. What I mean by that is we find out that he thinks the white race is superior and if they don’t do something about it they will fall as being superior. Another thing is we find out that he has a mistress in New York, we know this because the butler comes in saying there’s a woman on the phone.

My first reason is because at the start of the book it’s him conducting the kerosene hose burning down the tatters and charcoal ruins of history. To be broken down, basically he was burning books and enjoying it. But as we keep on reading he seems to slowly be changing but one day when he is talking to Mildred saying he’s not happy and wants to do something big, so he goes up to the air conditioner pulls back the grille reaches far back . . .  and pulls out a book. We then find out that he has more and has had them for about a year. This is good evidence of a dynamic ch

And the way he organizes his words is all planned he knew what he was doing he would talk about one subject first and than the next subject was related to what he was just talking about.
