The Great Gatsby Chapter 5 Notes

What I read in this chapter it was basically Gatsby wanting Daisy back. For it talks about how Nick sees Gatsbys house so bright like if it was burning. Then they were swimming in the pools. Gatsby wanted to tell the plan to Nick so that he can invite Daisy for some tea. Gatsby also wanted someone to cut his yards grass. He also wanted to offer Nick money  from the business that he is on, but does not have to do anything with Mr. Wolfshiem. Nick does not want to receive money because he just wants to help Gatsby with no cost. But they still do the plan of inviting Daisy over. The day Daisy was going to go over to Gatsby's house he was nervous because he was thinking that nothing was going to between them. Once the first meeting between them two was awkward, but then they started to see each other more and start getting along. Then one day the rain stop and Gatsby was talking about his luxury goods to Daisy and Nick, but then things started to be different so Nick left and Gatsby and Daidy were by there self.

Vocabulary
Counterfeit: fake
Momentarily: stiff

The green light from Daisy's dock is a symbol. It's a symbol for Gastby that means he has a second chance for him to be with Daisy.

This can relate to Montag because since he is a firefighter he starts fired by burning books. That's what I think the author chose that title for part one.  " It was a pleasure to burn. It was a pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed" in this quote the assumption that the reader could make is that the firemen don't like books. They burn books because they think that books are not useful. The author chose to characterize a water hose with a great python because since the water hose shots to put down fires. The great python just shoots venom. They both relate because they both do something when they shoot. It is a negative thing that they are doing because they just start fires. At first I was confused I did not know what F451...
