Reading Journal - Chapter 6 - The Great Gatsby

Perspective/Voice:

• This chapter is, again, from the perspective of Nick in the first person.
• Speech from other characters come into play - Tom and Gatsby.

Setting:

• Starts off at Gatsby's house. 
• Less descriptive of setting in this chapter.
• Likes to use seasons - "one autumn night" 

Structure:

• Space between two paragraphs - change in time - Gatsby's story.

Style:

• Biography style because Nick is almost detaching himself from the world again.

Language: 

• Again, he's descriptive but not so much about what's happening.
• The focus is back onto the physicality of people. 
• Get a better idea of what Gatsby is really like.
• "They arrived at twilight." - describes the time without using specific hours or numbers.
