Overall thoughts:
-chapter 7: In my opinion, this is the climax of the story. This is the chapter where Daisy and Gatsby's love becomes obvious to Tom. On page 119, it says Tom was astounded and described Daisy as someone he knew a long time ago. It was really interesting to me that Daisy and Gatsby weren't really hiding what was going on. There was a confrontation between Mr. Wilson and Tom and Mr. Wilson pretty much figured out what was going on and wanted to move his wife because of it.

Also, Nick talked about how he is from the west and shouldn't have moved to the east where he claims it is “unadaptable” to westerners. The last part of the book Nick is just about ready to leave his home for somewhere new, and he looks back on Gatsby's wonder for the green light and his belief in the light and his future. I think the book ended in a way that I didn't necessarily enjoy, but it definitely was a page
