Chapter 1Most of the confidences were unsought — frequently I have feigned sleep, preoccupation, or a hostile levity when I realized by some unmistakable sign that an intimate revelation was quivering on the horizon; for the intimate revelations of young men, or at least the terms in which they express them, are usually plagiaristic and marred by obvious suppressions.1. As used on p1 paragraph 3, the word “levity” most nearly means:

a. Wit b. Candorc. Humor d. Intellect

2. Which of the following best reflects a central idea of the first two pages?a. “Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone...advantages that you’ve had” (p1, para 2)b. “The abnormal mind is quick to detect….secret griefs of wild, unknown men”(p1, para 3)c. “Reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope.” (p1, para 3)d. “If personality is an unbroken series of…ten thousand miles away.” (p2, para 1)

Only Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this book, was exempt from my reaction — Gatsby, who represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn. If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life, as if he were related to one of those intricate machines that register earthquakes ten thousand miles away. This responsiveness had nothing to do with that flabby impressionability which is dignified under the name of the “creative temperament.”— it was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again. No — Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men.3. Which best describes the narrator’s tone when describing Gatsby on p2?

a. Awestruck b. Sinisterc. Hopeful d. Reflective

4. Which lines best clarify the meaning of “And so with the sunshine…beginning over again with summer?”(p4, para 4)

a. “I was a guide, a pathfinder, an original settler. He had casually conferred on me the freedom of the neighborhood.” (p 4, para 3)b. “I bought a dozen volumes on banking and credit and investment securities, and they stood on my shelf in red and gold like new money from the mint, promising to unfold the shining secrets that only Midas and Morgan and Maecenas knew.” (p4, para 4)c. “This isn’t just an epigram — life is much more successfully looked at from a single window, after all.” (p4, para 4)d. “To the wingless a more arresting phenomenon is their dissimilarity in every particular except shape and size.” (p4-5)

5. The lines “This was a permanent move…. irrecoverable football game” emphasize (page 6, para 2), Tom’s

a. Attention to his wife’s wishesb. Athletic talent

H u n t | 3

c. Restlessnessd. Seriousness

6. Tom’s line “Just because I’m stronger and more than a man that you” (p7, para 3) highlights his

a. loveb. sense of humorc. integrityd. arrogance

7. The repetition of the word “bright” on page 9, paragraph 1 serves to a. Emphasize Daisy’s intelligence b. Reveal her potential c. Suggest her appeal d. Highlight her vacuity8. Fitzgerald characterizes Daisy as:

a. Sincere and lightheartedb. Full of motherly lovec. Slow-witted and lethargicd. Superficial and self-absorbed

9. The irony at the top of page 13 has what effecta. Adds a humorous note to the sceneb. Calls attention to Daisy’s witc. Undermines Tom’s beliefsd. Draws Nick into the conversation

10. Daisy’s statement that her daughter “be a fool” (p17) serve as a: a. Philosophical guide b. Reflection of Daisy’s experiences c. Judgement on gender by Nick d. Contrast with Jordan’s beliefs

Open QuestionsAnalysisHow does the mood of the narrator on page 5 mirror that of the 1920s?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________How are women portrayed in the novel thus far? What does Daisy’s desire for her daughter to a fool reveal about gender roles at the time?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ArgumentCan we trust Nick’s perspective regarding the events in the story? Why or why not?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________In his essay “Echoes of the Jazz Age,” F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, “we were all committed to the Jazz Age. We would all have one more.” Does Fitzgerald’s involvement in the 1920’s make you trust him more or less as you read the novel?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

a. The Blue of Doctor’s eyesb. The yellow of the Spectaclesc. The white of the room in the East Eggd. The golden sunset

I think he’d tanked up a good deal at luncheon, and his determination to have my company bordered on violence. The supercilious assumption was that on Sunday afternoon I had nothing better to do. 3. The word “supercilious” (p24 para 4) most nearly meansa. Intentional b. Unnecessaryc. Presumptuous d. Sincere“I told that boy about the ice.” Myrtle raised her eyebrows in despair at the shiftlessness of the lower orders. “These people! You have to keep after them all the time.”4. On page 27, para 1, lines 7-10 reveal Myrtle’s

a. Concern for etiquetteb. Loyalty to Tomc. Affection for animalsd. Desire to appear upper class
