1. Using a TRACER response format, explain the ways that Chapter 3 of the Great Gatsby emphasizes the motif of "perception versu
s reality," when considering the lines of characters like "Owl-Eyes," or the ways in which the grandness of the party Gatsby throws is somehow covering up something that lies beneath the surface of what is being viewed by the narrator Nick Carraway. You could begin by discussing the ways that we often perceive things in ways that are not aligned with what is really going on, for a variety of possible reasons, and to conclude, you might relate to whether this is still a provable occurrence nowadays as well. 2. In chapter 4, Nick learns from Jordan Baker the real reason why Gatsby has bought a large mansion, and why Gatsby has told Nick through Jordan Baker that Nick should invite Daisy to tea. Explain the ways in which this specific choice by the author on how to develop the characters works to increase both tension and conflict within the story.
