Gatsby's acting similar to Flanders in the Simpsons, constantly coming over and trying to get Nick to participate in an activity with him.
Nick pokes fun at Daisy's Chauffeur, asking if the Gasoline affects his nose.
Daisy and Gatsby know each other.

Journal Topic: 2/9/17
Topic: How does "The Great Gatsby" address women in our culture? How does it address Class and Race? Are rich "White" people better? How much/little do you think American Culture has changed since this book was published nearly 100 years ago?
Response: At the time when the book was published, Women were still considered property. As for Class and Race, the Richest individuals are depicted as uppity white people who live in grand estates and trample those who they consider "lesser." In the book, Rich "White" People are shown as these high class 'I'm better than all of you!' residents in this fancy-ass neighborhood in fancy-ass New York City, and American culture hasn't changed the slightest in 100 years.

Topic: How does it feel to seize this Opportunity to learn independently?
It feels great. I can finally get shit done without Jocelyn's constant chatter(I now know the pass code to her phone in case you ever want to use it against here, Dr. Preston). I feel like I work better right now working by myself without having to explain every single thing to Jocelyn who immediately continues talking to someone across the room after she asks me "What is ____ about?" It's obnoxious, and it doesn't even seem like she's working, just socializing, same goes for most of the class. Oh well, if your team doesn't want to work, just work by yourself, that's how I see it.
