Gatsby Chapter 4

1. "One time he killed a man who had found out that he was the nephew to Von Hindenburg and second cousin to the devil."

2.) It reinforces the time of the roaring twenties, and it shows that time passes and changes. Gatsby wants to repeat the past which is impossible.

3.) Owl Eyes: He was the one who noticed the books were separated
Mr. Wolfsheim:
Fay: Like a fairy
Claud Roosevelt: allusion
Klipspringer, Poles, Mulready's, Cecil Roebuck, Cecil Schoen, Gulick: New Money
Chester Beckers, Leeches, Bunsen, Webster Civet, Hornbeams, Blackbuck, Willie Voltairs, Ismays, Chrysties, Edgar Beaver, Clarence Endive- Old Money

4.) 'It was a rich cream color, bright with nickel, swollen here and there in its monstrous tool boxes, and terraced with a labyrinth of wind-shields that mirrored a dozen suns. Sitting own behind many layers of glass in a sort of green leather conservatory, we started to town.'

5.) He told Nick that he is the son of some wealthy people in Middle West (they're all dead), he grew up in America but went to Oxford to get an education because going there was a family tradition. Nick didn't really believe he was educated at Oxford because when Gatsby was saying it he hurried the words out and also 'choked on them' as if it bothered him. When Nick asked what part of the 'Middle West' he was from he said San Francisco... that's not in the Middle West.
  Gatsby also mentioned that when his family died he became rich, traveled, and collected jewels and things of worth, hunted, painted, and did things for himself 'to forget something very sad that had happened to him long ago.'

6.) He gave the police officer a white card.. I would think of it like a get out of jail free card because he stated that, "I was able to do the commissioner a favor once, and he sends me a Christmas card every year." He obviously has hookups.

7.) Mr. Wolfsheim went to lunch a wore a shirt with cuff buttons that were made of human molars. He was the man who fixed the world series in 1919.

8.) Rosey was shot by a gang which reflects on the theme of the roaring twenties because it was organized crime.

9.) Daisy was always popular and they were together before he had to leave for the war. Jordan remembered the first time she saw him with her on the curb sitting in his white car. Rumors spread that she went to say goodbye to a soldier going overseas in New York. Gatsby came back and bought the house so it would attract her attention.

10.) Tom ran into a wagon owned by a girl who was his first affair.

11.) He wants Nick to get Daisy to go to his house and have Gatsby come so they can be reunited.
