Gatsby chapter 7 notes


  • Gatsby hides from people that ask about his real name
  • Daisy invited Nick Jordan, and Gatsby to lunch 
  • Daisy flings herself onto Gatsby when Tom went out to get drinks 
  • Gatsby dismissed most of his servants and hired new ones 
  • he didn't want people that gossiped 
  • Tom is getting really really suspicious about Gatsby and Daisy 
  • "her voice was full of money"
  • Daisy decides to go with Gatsby instead of Tom 
  • Tom is getting an idea of what is going on with Daisy and Gatsby 
  • Daisy's daughter is introduced 
  • Daisy shows up to be told what to do, but blames it on everybody else
Guiding Questions answers:
 1) Gatsby stops having parties because he realized that Daisy didn't like the parties and she wasn't enjoying herself. 
2) Gatsby fires his staff because he doesn't like how they spread rumors and don't mind their business. He replaces them with new people that won't care about his life or what he does. Their personalities reflect on Wolfsheim because they like to be unbothered.
3) Daisy's reaction to her daughter was kind but she also wanted to point out how much her daughter looks like her and not a lot like her father. Gatsby on the other hand, doesn't really show an expression and has a blank stare. He was perhaps in shock about Daisy having a daughter but only he would know. 
4) The outing was quite something. Daisy teases both men while she is practically telling Gatsby her feelings for him in front of her husband Tom. 
5)On the way back to long Island, Gatsby tells Nick that Myrtle is dead and that Daisy killed her but he is going to take the blame. 
6)At the end of the chapter, Tom and Daisy are talking with no emotion but they were talking really close that Gatsby had no idea what is was about and he was standing close to "protect" Daisy.  Daisy character is of an honest person that admits that she loves two guys and that at some point she loved Tom.
