Chapter 5

In this chapter Daisy and Gatsby get together and have tea just like Nick had planned for Gatsby and Daisy to do. Gatsby try's to impress Daisy by showing off his mansion and all of the things he has but Daisy begins to think it is awkward. Gatsby is frustrated with himself because he can't impress her. The character that I am picking for this chapter is going to be Daisy. We have found out that Gatsby really wants for Daisy to leave atom and come to him. "They're such beautiful shirts," she sobbed, her voice muffled in the think folds. "It makes me sad because I've never seen such – such beautiful shirts before"(118). This quote shows how in love that Daisy is with Gatsby and that she can't even control herself when she sees how much that Gatsby has done to make Daisy happy and she is sad because she is afraid to leave atom because of what he might do to Gatsby or to herself. Another really important quote from the chapter is "If it wasn't for the mist we could see your home across the bay . . . You always have a green light that burns all night at the end of your dock." This is a very important quote because it shows the love between Gatsby and Daisy and how Gatsby's green light that Daisy could see across the bay is basically a symbol of love that he has for Daisy and I feel like the mist that is mentioned is symbolic for all of the things that are standing I the way of Gatsby and Daisy being together.
