    The next Video up called Janet d2's photo stream we made to show some of the things you might see at his house. The first picture is of a big crowd of people just like Jay Gatsby likes his parties. The second picture is of his house at night when its the busiest. The third and fourth are of extravagant foods that would be served. The last picture is of, once again, his house even though it came out blurry sorry about that.
    Lastly the video at the top of the screen called Tour of Rob And Big's house. We couldn't find a video that didn't have sound but still had a tour, but finally we had to settle for that video. WE figured it would work as a tour of what Gatsby's house looked like before he moved in. It has lots of space to be and lots of different rooms.
    Color Scheme
    The gold represents Gatsby's royalty and his money. The pink color of the navigation bar represents flashy taste. For example the pink suit he wears to The Plaza his last day in New York. The journals alternate between a gold and purple color, again representing Gatsby's wealthy life.

    When we all started doing this Wiki we put all stuff that represents who is Jay Gatsby. We are going to name all the stuff we put and explain why we think it fits Gatsby, so hang on to your seat cause we got a lot of stuff that is going to be explained to you. Enjoy reading it Mrs.Smith hahaha.
    QuoteMain PageQuote on the
    The Great Gatsby picture: We put this picture because it shows that even after five years that Daisy and Gatsby have been apart they still have a connection, and they still love each other no matter what. It shows they still like spending time together too.
    ThePhotographyThe Yellow Royce
    Daisy's Picture: The picture that we put in Gatsby's picture shows that he still cares and loves Daisy no matter what. Also that he still remembered her while they were separated for five years.
    The Party Picture: The party picture represents how much people come to Gatsby's party, and he doesn't even know them. The only reason he throws these huge parties is to impress Daisy and hoping she will eventually come to his parties, and they will reunite.
    LoveJournalsLove is what
    The Good/Bad times in the Past Journal: This journal was put on there because it explains how Daisy and Gatsby met, and what happen between them. It starts the day Gatsby was in Camp Taylor as a young officer and then it goes on with them meeting and then spending everyday together until it's time for him to be shipped to WW1. Its so sad huh!:(
    Upon my Arrival: this journal was made because we figured we needed to express his loss and hurt for what had happened to Daisy. We explain in his voice that he is determined to win her back no matter what. He even goes to say his plan to get her back.

    Her Waited Arrival Journal: This journal explains how Gatsby really feels about Daisy and how important it is to him that his meeting with Daisy goes well. He is so nervous. His panic means that he is so scared that Daisy does not love him anymore.
    If We Could Turn Back Time Journal: This journal explains how, even after Daisy had killed someone, he stays outside her house to ensure that she is safe. To protect her, he even says that he will take the blame for the accident. That is how much he loves her.

    Upon my arrival
    When I arrived home from World War One I was eager to see the only love of my life and start a family. I was stunned to find Daisy Buchanan was a bride to a wealthy man by the name of Tom Buchanan. I thought her heart belonged to me. My heart now aches from this pain that she is gone. I need to win her back! She will one day realize she made a mistake. My plan to win my love is to follow a few steps. She will be my motivation to become rich. I will move into a house close to her. Every night i will wait for her. And every night I watch the green light at the end of her dock, burning like a beacon of hope.
    How it all Started
    As you all might know me as Jay Gatsby, that's not my birth name I was given,which was James Gatz. It all started when I met this older age man named Dan Cody. Back then when my name was James Gatz, who was from North Dakota wasn't easy to say you know. I changed my name at the age of seventeen when I witness the being of my career, when I saw Dan Cody's yacht drop an anchor over the most insidious flat on Lake Superior. I was walking along the beach, but when I saw that I got on a boat and I rowed and I warned Cody that the wind might catch him and break him in half in an hour. After a year, I James Gatz was working on the shore of Lake Superior as a clam digger and a salmon fisher or any other job that give me food and a bed. One day I got a job with Cody, who was fifty-five years old. I worked as a mate, skipper, secretary, even jailor for Cody. Cody in five years died, and he left me twenty five thousand dollars, but his rude, mean wife didn't let me get the money. Cody left me with much more then money, he gave me an education and the start of my life. That was the end of James Gatz and the start of Jay Gatsby.

    When I thought the closest I would ever get to my dear Daisy would be across the bay from the green light that burns at the end of her dock, I found Nick Carraway. How perfect is it that my new neighbor is the cousin to the love of my life? When I asked Nick to do me a little favor by asking Daisy over for tea, i thought my plan was fool proof. Everything would be perfect! i would come over and Daisy would see me and everything would be as it was before the war. I was so nervous about everything being just right. I even had my gardener mow Nick's lawn. As it drew closer and closer to the time of Daisy's arrival, I began to worry that she would never show. I panicked and began to wonder if all my intentions would mean nothing to her. What if all my love was a waist. Five years of pining away for a married woman turned to a pathetic attempt for true love. Once she did arrive, I couldn't believe how beautiful was. I had forgotten how utterly perfect had been. How graceful and charming she had remained. At first, it was awkward between us. As if an unanswered question was hanging in the air. If I could only prove to her that I can provide for her just as much as that Tom Buchanan can. Then she would realizes that she belongs with me and she would leave him.
