The Great Gatsby chapters 4-5 Test

In the first two and a half pages of Chapter 4, Fitzgerald shows the discrimination common at that time based on all of these EXCEPT

• religion

• class

• race

• birthplace

"I had talked with him perhaps six times in the past month and found, to my disappointment, that he had little to say...And then came that disconcerting ride...Gatsby began leaving his elegant sentences unfinished..."

Why is Gatsby not comfortable in casual conversations?

• He has not had time to ask Daisy what she thinks about his answer.

• He has not had time to decide on an answer that sounds "upper class" and practice saying it "naturally."

• He has not had time to translate other people's words into German which is his first language.

• He has not had time to practice saying the answer without stuttering.
