Class started off today with a quick chapter 6 quiz. The
rest of the class followed with a great discussion about chapter 6. Our class
discussions are always very beneficial and interesting to me.
Our overall topic was mood, and mood is defined as provoked
feelings or vibes from words and descriptions. The party Gatsby threw in
chapter 6 had a boring, awkward and tense mood, according to nick. The
difference between this party and the first previous party is pretty clear. Tom
has gone to the party with Daisy! This factor made for an awkward event because
Gatsby and Tom are basically competing for Daisy. For example, during the party
Gatsby turns to Tom and aggressively says, “I know your wife (Fitzgerald).” In
this moment Gatsby was trying to intimidate Tom. Also, Gatsby kept referring to
Tom as the polo player. This is basically calling Tom just a basic rich dude which
is belittling.
This picture gives off a sketchy and mysterious mood.
