Gatsby--the character the book is named for--is not "shown" to us until the last page of chapter one. Why does Fitzgerald wait this long?

A friend of Jordan's who thinks he is her boyfriend.

Why is Owl Eyes so surprised with Gatsby's library?

The pages of the books are cut.

Gatsby has Volume 1 of Stoddard's Lectures.

Although the party is rowdy and most people are drunk, Gatsby is reserved and never drinks alcohol.

How is Myrtle trying to build her status on the social class ladder?

By using Tom's wealth to get what she wants.

By buying expensive clothing and other things.

By changing her behavior around Tom when dealing with other people.

When Myrtle was introduced on page 25, why is she described as "a thickish figure of a woman (who) blocked out the light from the office door"?

To symbolize her being bad or evil because she blocks the light.

Because she's not considered to be very attractive.

To symbolize that she's a good person by incorporating light.

The moral decay and ugliness of the rich that actually exists but is hidden by the beautiful facades of the Eggs.
