1) The next day, Nick phones Daisy and extends his invitation with the stipulation "Don't bring Tom." She accepts his invitation, agreeing on a day. The agreed upon day arrives and Gatsby, wanting everything to be perfect, sends a man to cut Nick's grass and, later, has flowers delivered.

2)In Chapter IV when Nick and Gatsby ride together into New York, Gatsby tells Nick about his past, in Gatsby's words "something about my life." He then tells Nick of his wealthy Midwestern family background and his Oxford education--a family tradition, he said.

3) When Nick asks which Midwestern city he is from, Gatsby replies, “San Francisco.” Gatsby then lists a long and preposterously detailed set of accomplishments: he claims to have been educated at Oxford, to have collected jewels in the capitals of Europe, to have hunted big game, and to have been awarded medals in World ...

4) Meyer Wolfsheim is Jay Gatsby's friend and a prominent figure in organized crime. Wolfsheim helped Gatsby to make his fortune bootlegging illegal liquor. He is responsible for fixing the 1919 World Series.

5) In the city, Gatsby takes Nick to lunch and introduces him to Meyer Wolfshiem, who, he claims, was responsible for fixing the 1919 World Series.

6) We are told that Gatsby came up from essentially nothing, and that the first time he met Daisy Buchanan, he was “a penniless young man.” His fortune, we are told, was the result of a bootlegging business – he “bought up a lot of side-street drug-stores here and in Chicago” and sold illegal alcohol over the counter.

Hope it helps:)

Batman and Superman battle for ultimate supremacy. Which type of conflict describes the scenario above best?

Rzqust [24]

This is a character vs. character struggle.

Character vs self would be an internal conflict,
Character vs nature would be Ahab vs the Whale,
Character vs society would be Hester Pryne vs the Town.
