Gatsby notes and thoughts: chapter 8

• Daisy was the "first" nice girl he had ever known

Gatsby probably pays attention to her personality but not her actions.

• It excited him that many men had already loved Daisy, it put more value to her in his eyes

Gatsby is really obsessed with and put other men in the past.

• Gatsby felt married to her

The way they are to each other probably gave him that feeling.

• Gatsby sat with Daisy in his arms

They really love each other even when bad things happen.

• Daisy wanted her life shaped

She was just not trying to stay confused and actually have a decision.

• Nick didn't want to leave Gatsby as he was going to go to work

Nick was concerned about Gatsby and wanted to be there with him.

• Nick told Gatsby that they're a rotten crowd and he's worth the whole damn bunch put together

I thought that was nice of him to not let Gatsby worry and cheering him up.

1. Gatsby said nothing happened as he waited outside at four o'clock, she came to the window and stood there a minute and turned out the light.Gatsby said Tom told her things in a way that frightened her that it made it look as if it was some kind of cheap sharpener and how she loved Tom for a moment when they married and loved Gatsby even more.

2.He wanted Gatsby to leave and Gatsby chose not to because of Daisy.

3.He had intended, probably, to take what he could and go but he found that he had committed himself to the following of a grail. He didn't realize how extraordinary a "nice" girl can be. he felt married to her.

4. The gardener worried that the pool was going to get clogged by the leaves and there's always trouble with the pipes. Gatsby doesn't want to waste what he never used and doesn't want to let go and get rid of it so fast.

5.Fitzgerald implies  all through the novel's investigation of riches, has gotten profane and unfilled because of exposing its rambling essentialness to the voracious quest for wealth.
