Why do you think Gatsvy lied about attending Oxford?
Oxford is a very prestigous and expensive school, so I think Gatsby told people he went to school there to show his high class and impress people, especially Daisy. This school would show off his credentials and wealth to his "friends". This helped push the point farther to Daisy that he could support her and her needs.
How do your feelings toward Daisy change at the end of the book? If it doesn't Why?
Throughout the book, I couldn't decide if I loved or hated Daisy for all of her actions, but when Gatsby died and she left like she didn't even know who he was, I had made my decision. I hated her. Her and GHatsby were recreating their once special bond, but when he died, she just fled with her unfaithful lover. This made me lose a lot of respect for her. I don't feel bad for her anymore because she makes the worst decisions ever.
How does the attendance of guests at patries compare to Gatsby's funeral?
When Gatsby Held parties, it was not limited to his friends, but to people he had never met or even seen before. Not many invited, but a large crowd would soon form. But at his funeral, his so called friends wouldn't be seen near his resting place, even though they were invited this time. This makes you feel even more sorrow towrds Gatsby and disgust for the partyersthat were to inconsiderate to show their respects to the deceased.
How would you characterize Nick's character, Dynamic or Static?
Nick would completely be a dynamic character, because he went through a huge change from the begining to the end of the book. At first, he was intrigued by the way of life of the elite (Tom and Daisy). But as the story progressed, his opinnion soon became to change as he saw the personal life of the elite and how messed up their life was. This drastic change in mindset would classify him as a dynamic character.
