• Nick decides to take care
of all the details of
Gatsby’s funeral.
• The only people that
actually show up for
Gatsby's funeral is “Owl
Eyes” and Nick.
• People such as Wolfsheim
and Klipspringer used
Gatsby their whole life and
didn’t even have any
sense of moral to attend
the funeral.
“I found myself
on Gatsby’s side,
and alone.”
Klipspringer
“What I called up about
was a pair of show I left
there. I wonder if it’d be
too much trouble to have
the butler send them on.”
“There was a long silence
on the other end of the
wire followed by an
exclamation…then a quick
squawk as the connection
was broken.”
Wolfshiem was the only one
that showed some grievance,
but still he wouldn’t go to the
funeral.
Wolfshiem
“The hair in his nostrils
quivered slightly and as he
shook his head his eyes
filled with tears. I can’t do
it---I can’t get mixed up in
it.”
“Most of those reports were
a nightmare---grotesque,
circumstantial, eager, and
untrue.”
Gatsby’s schedule is
very important in that it
shows the true
“American” boy that
Gatsby was. This
thought out routine
was written on a flyleaf in Hopalong
Cassidy.
Also this schedule can
be compared to Ben
Franklin’s selfimprovement plan. This
schedule can be seen
as a determined
American who is hardworking and look for a
little adventure.

Nick’s Dream West Egg can
be compared to El Greco’s
“View on Toledo”. Pg 185
Popular artist of the late 1500s is known for his
holy paintings and unusual art.
The “View of Toledo” gives a view of towns
people not caring they just continue to go on
with their lives, and do not care about their
surroundings.
Nick relates West Egg to El Greco “a
hundred houses, at once conventional and
grotesque, crouching under a sullen,
overhanging sky and a lusterless moon.”
In Gatsby Nick continues further on about his
dream of West Egg saying that he saw “four
solemn men in dress suits are walking along the
sidewalk with a stretcher on which lies a drunken
woman in a white evening dress.”

“When a sick man gets
killed I never like to get
mixed up in it in any way. I
keep out. When I was a
young man it was
different…I stuck with
them to the end…Let us
learn to show friendship for
a man when he alive and
not after he is dead.”

“I see now that this has
been a story of the West,
after all – Tom and Gatsby,
Daisy, and Jordan and I,
were all Westerners, and
perhaps we possessed
some deficiency in
common made us subtly
inadaptable to Eastern
life.”

“I became aware of
the old island here
that flowered once for
Dutch sailor’s eyes---a
fresh, green breast of
the new world.”

“So Wilson was reduced to a
man “deranged by grief” in
order that he case might
remain in it simplest form.”
What are your
feelings towards
chapter 9? Was
Tom in the right to
frame Gatsby?
Did your
feelings affect
how you felt
about the book
entirely?
Would you have attended
Gatsby’s funeral? If you
did go would you go out
of sympathy or because
you felt obligated?
Behind the Song: Dig by Incubus
• “We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easy to identify.
Look me in the eye and ask for forgiveness;
We'll make a pact to never speak that word again
Yes you are my friend.”
• “Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.“
• “Remind me that we’ll always each other when
everything else is gone”
“Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms
farther….And one fine morning----So we beat on,
boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly
into the past.”
