PRA 1- People tend to always fall under pressure especially in schools yet to fit in with the rest or simple peer pressure from others to do certain things. I my self have commited wrong decisions simply to fit in with the rest, but luckily I soon relized I had to be myself. If they people liked me it would be because of how I truly am not through certain things they expect you to do.
Pra 2- Those who are born into a wealthy family I would say dont appreciate it and spend on things that are not really needed and take it for granted meanwhile
PRA 3- My own highly valued goals is to go to University and attain a buissness major as well as having my own beauty salon, and buying my mother a home

Id believe he feels to guilty for cheating on her and would feel rather odd if they were to talk.
2-3

3-2
-Had killed a man.
-spy during the war

He never tends to host the people just tends to let hey party run itself, where people probably makeup these rumors to fill the tendency of not knowing him at all.
3-3
The purpose of the passage is to not only show Nick was enjoying himself but also show he was begnning to get usto the New York life.

he stalked by me into the hall, turned sharply as if he were on a wire, and disappeared into the living-room. It wasn’t a bit funny. Aware of the loud beating of my own heart I pulled the door to against the increasing rain"
5-2
The green light on Daisy’s dock signifies Gatsbys desire to find her forever stay by her side too.
5-3
As Gatsby reunites with Daisy he doesn’t talk much since he is much of a nervous wreck. The behavior is believable as it shows love and showck to see her again and be around her.

Secretive

Daisy is appaled by the west egg because she likes Gatsby, I would believe shed go ahead and choose Gatsby over her husband. She is already aware of his cheating, she once loved Gatsby as well, so why would she give love another chance especially when all at home was not as good as it seemed.

Calm
determined

Flirty
Undeciseive
-Tom

Chapter 7
7-1
In both days the weather is an important aramatic agent whre in chapter five were they reunited it was a cloudy a pooring rainy day causing a melancholy tone and rather nerve racking to know how things would end like. In this chapter the day was rather a warm evening where you could say this showed happiness and a fare welcome.
7-2
Tom sees Gatsby as his rival an obstacle that could ruin his marriage.
Gatsby is jealous of Tom wish he could be by her side and seeks attention by inviting her over and continue on looking for her. Myrtle is by this time inlove of Tom and becomeing hateful of Daisy, yet this love ironically leads to her own death.
7-3
Gatsby owns a drugstore

This does not change Daisys view towrads Gatsby since she believes she is still rather inlove with him, but truly it was always a confusion.

The author includes the narrative to show you what kind of person george wilson was being a person who thinks too much of himself.

Rising action: Nick Carraway meets Jay Gatsby at his mansion during one of the parties that he throws. Nick and Gatsby get intellectually close to one another in a sense that they begin to chill, or else spend time with one another.

Gatsby is killed by Wilson.Falling Action: Nick Carraway arranges a funeral for Gatsby who was shot by Tom while at his house sun bathing in his pool. Nick ends his relationship with Jordan.

A stout, middle-aged man, with enormous owl-eyed spectacles, was sitting somewhat drunk on the edge of a great table, staring with unsteady concentration at the shelves of books. As we entered he wheeled excitedly around and examined Jordan from head to foot.”What do you think?” he demanded impetuously."

I would think he was chosen because not much was known of him just like Gatsby. All known was that he was the neighbor, mainly as the observer and the reason for why Daisy reunites with Gatsby for once and for all. His telling of the story does limit alot of what is going on and to what the reader could go on and foreshadowing.
pr-5
Society mainly determines much of a person, where people want to fit in, many critical wheter on being proper or simply fake due to not much being known, but yet alone an individual himself cannot do much on what is thought and said about them.
pr-6
Possibly because he never chose a side and who better to tell than smeone who wasnt really involved in what was ging on but simply just observed.
pr-7
Out of this reading log i learned that all is not that at seems that getting involved in other peoples affairs should never cross our minds but just leave as it is and let them live their own life however they may choose to do so.
