We discussed in class, that the author has put a sexual tone onto the chapter. We have to dig deeply to discover it, though. I noticed several different emotions by the characters in this chapter. The mysteriousness of the City Nick and Tom went to, along with actually introducing Myrtle, the mistress. There was more information about Gatsby, in him being related to the leader of Germany in World War 1. I felt like this being added into the chapter, is for a certain purpose in which will be revealed later on. The different settings, contributed to not only to sexual references, but created a very eerie mood. And to end it with domestic violence, adds a certain tone onto the story. Sort of like a suspenseful tone.
