guiding questions: chapter 7

1. Why does Gatsby stop having parties?
2. Why does Gatsby fire his staff, and who replaces them?  How are these people different, and how do their personalities reflect what we know about Wolfsheim?
3. Describe the difference in Daisy's and Gatsby's reactions to Daisy's daughter.
4. Describe the "outing" to New York and the confrontation between Tom and Gatsby.  Who wins?
5. BAM! What happens on the way back to Long Island?  (You have to get this-- it's THE event of the book.)
6. What are Tom and Daisy doing at the end of the chapter?  What does this say to you about Daisy's character?
