The Great Gatsby -Classmates questions/response CH 3-4

Chapter 3:
1. Why does Nick observe Gatsby so much? Nick observes Gatsby so much because he is very wealthy and how is it  possible that he affords all those parties. 
2. Gatsby looks like he has parties but with people he doesn't know, why is it that he talks to Nick out of all people and when it wasn't even him who personally invited him to the party?He is interested in daisy, Both Daisy and Gatsby had something going on before daisy got married, he maybe is aware that Nick is related to Daisy.
3. Why did Gatsby just assume Nick knew who he was? Because Gatsby knew about him but nick didn't , Gastby probably assumed that with the invitation that was sent to Nick , nick should know him he mostly likely was aware of the invitation that was sent 

Chapter 4:
1. Do you think Jordan got called in to talk to Gatsby because he wanted to ask the same question he asked Nick? Yes, I believe that Gastby wanted to ask Jordan the same thing he asked Nick because he is really interested that Nick does the favor of having a tea with Daisy, so Gatsby can reunite with daisy 
2. What question did Gatsby not want to ask Nick and why?Nick did not want to ask him for the favor of inviting Daisy to have some tea together... Gatsbys' intention was to meet up with Daisy.
3. If you were in Nick’s position would you feel used? How would you feel being asked something shocking? I would feel guilty but also not really because I'd know that Tom has another girl so I would help out my cousin to find her happiness. Although I'm in the middle of this whole situation, I'd feel like I'm helping out my cousin.

About my big question

Yesterday ï asked my group members what they thought about my big question. They thought it was DUMB. Ï was actually debating wether to post or  or not because ï thought to myself is it actually dumb? But then ï asked Kassandra what she thought of it she told me she agreed with me that our class doesn't talk to much.

It's agreeable we just stay isolated in the same groups.

Fahrenheit 451 essay

It's amazing how someone can have make an impact in your life. In Fahrenheit 451  Clarisse and Montag talk to each other.

Prompt #1 The last line of the Great Gatsby is arguably the most important: "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne ceaselessly into the past." How does this line embody the thematic conflict that defines The Great Gatsby ?        Sometimes human beings have the tendency to hang on to an event that has transpired, Why?  The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald exposes readers to problematic situations that take  place because a character feels attached to something from the past and another is inflexible. Gatsby is a wealthy man who had a past with Daisy young beautiful female. He hangs on to the past, the unforgettable past that lives with him in his future, things like a green light represent what he lived before. Gatsby interferes with the life of daisy, and his presence creates conflicts throughout the whole book. Tom is an antagonist, who doesn't allow others to take away from his belongings, in this case, daisy. Therefore the line "So we beat on
