Great Gatsby - Reading Journal Chapter 5

Imagery:
Tension tells the story - foreshadowing the tension at the start of the chapter

Gatsby is usually calm and cool but in this chapter he is different, more worried, and appears weak " pale as death, with his hands plunged like weights in his coat pockets"

Story told through use of emotive imagery

Themes:
Time

Gats Knocks the clock of the mantle piece, almost like time stop when he is arguing with daisy

Clear chronology in this chapter

"A pause is endured horribly" builds the tense atmosphere and suspense

  1. Ok. Try to add a bit more, particularly on setting, use of time and imagery.
