CHAPTER 8 NOTES AND THOUGHTS

• waking up from a bad dream can be a worse feeling than the dream itself 
• nick suggest to Gatsby to forget about daisy and to leave long island but he refuses to leave her behind
• Gatsby lets us know that he and Daisy made love and he felt somehow married to her afterwards
• Wilson stays up talking to Michaelis about his wife, Myrtle 
•  Wilson tells him that he confronted his wife about her lover, and that she can't hide the truth from God 
• Wilson at first thinks that Tom is the one that killed Myrtle, but then realizes that it can't be him since he arrived after the accident happened in a different car with Nick and Jordan

Gatsby is one to function like a person from the 1920s since wealth and class still plays a big role. Like the American dream that everybody wants, Gatsby dreams of his life with Daisy which leads him to do criminal things. 

Guiding Questions :

1. Gatsby tells Nick that he waited outside Daisy's house until 4 in the morning and that Tom didn't try to hurt her or that she went outside. 
2. Nick suggests that Gatsby should leave Long Island and forget about Daisy. But Gatsby rejects Nick's suggestion because he doesn't want to leave Daisy behind. 
3. Gatsby lets know about the time he was trying to catch Daisy's eye in 1917 before he went to war. He confesses that her and him made love and that he felt married to her. She promised to wait for him, but she ended up marrying Tom. 
4. I think that the pool is mentioned because it was letting us know about the change in thing and about the FALLing of others. I think that Gatsby swimming in his own pool is like letting us know something that we aren't sure of yet. 
5. Nick goes to work, but he is to distracted and he doesn't want to see anyone. Wilson, has gone crazy thinking that God wants revenge for the death of his wife Myrtle and he finds Gatsby and shoots him while he is in his pool, and then he shoots himself as well.
