Gatsby ch. 3 fill-ins
As you read chapter 3 of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, fill in the blanks with the appropriate information. 1. Nick describes the elaborate (flashy, grand) parties Gatsby throws most nights throughout the summer, claiming that men and women came went like moths. Most guests never met Gatsby, and were not invited- they just showed up. 2. People at Gatsby's parties conducted themselves with behavior often found at amusement parks. 3. A chauffeur delivered Nick an invitation to Gatsby's party. 4. Lots of rumors about Gatsby circulate (spread) during the party, including one that he killed a man once, and that he was a spy in the war. 5. At the part, Nick runs into Jordan. 6. The two wander into the library where they meet a stout, middle-aged man, with enormous owl-eyed spectacles. He has been in the library for a week trying to get sober, and he is in awe that all the books in the library are real. 7. Outside, Nick meets an unknown man and they talk about having been in the war. 8. The mysterious man is Gatsby. He leaves to take an important phone call, and later sends his butler to get Jordan for a private talk. 9. Jordan comes back from the conversation with Gatsby and she taunts Nick about the exciting information she just learned. She then tells Nick to come and visit her. 10. Gatsby says goodnight to Nick, calling him an old sport. The two have plans to go up in Gatsby's hydroplane tomorrow. 11. Nick sees that a car leaving the driveway has hit a wall and lost a wheel. At first, it appears the driver is Owl Eyes. 12. Later on in the summer, Nick and Jordan start spending time together. 13. When Jordan lies about leaving the top down in a borrowed convertible, Nick is reminded about the "story" he was trying to remember about Jordan: she cheated in a professional golf tournament once. 14. Nick dismisses this by saying, "dishonesty in a woman is something you never blame deeply." 15. Jordan and Nick have a conversation about driving, and Nick tells her to be careful, but Jordan says it's fine, as long as other people are careful drivers. She says, "I hate careless people. That's why I like you." 16. Nick realizes he needs to break things off with a girl back home in the Midwest and shares that his cardinal virtue is that he is one of the most honest people he's ever met.
