Throughout the novel there are circumstances in which Gatsby shows he is modern such as his clothes, his car and even his house. These are all things that are different from other for example Tom who is old fashioned and the opposite of Gatsby.
Well in my perspective I would say....
When I get ready to go to work I first go to the bathroom. I then take a shower, brush my teeth, get out of the bathroom, change into my work clothes. Brush my hair, do my extra personal tasks. Make myself a healthy breakfast, and I head to work with my cup of coffee, and with a big smile on my face. That is how I start of my day to work.
That is how I would have it said. I hope this helps! :D
