Gatsby Notes and Thoughts : Chapter 7/ Pgs. 119-154

1. Why does Gatsby stop having parties?
Gatsby stops having parties because he has Daisy now and the parties were to attract her so now they serve no purpose.

2. Why does Gatsby fire his staff, and who replaces them?  How are these people different, and how do their personalities reflect what we know about Wolfsheim?
Gatsby fires his staff because he wants a staff that isn't brided by tradesmen. The staff is replaced with half a dozen servants who never been to West Egg Village. The people apear to not be servants at all.

3. Describe the difference in Daisy's and Gatsby's reactions to Daisy's daughter.
Gatsby is shocked to see Daisy's daughter for the first time while Daisy talks about how she looks nothing like her father and how she only looks like her.

4. Describe the "outing" to New York and the confrontation between Tom and Gatsby.  Who wins?
Tom is very done with Gatsby's presence and is very angry. Gatsby is furious with the accusations Tom is making at him. Gatsby wins. Gatsby, Tom, Daisy, and Nick all in the same tense room. Gatsby tells Daisy to tell Tom the truth about Daisy's love for Gatsby. Gatsby has no backbone and just lets herself be told what to do. Daisy takes no responsibility.

5. BAM! What happens on the way back to Long Island?  (You have to get this-- it's THE event of the book.)
Daisy kills someone on the way back to Long Island. Murtle Wilson gets killed.

6. What are Tom and Daisy doing at the end of the chapter?  What does this say to you about Daisy's character?
