The Great Gatsby Blog Post #2

1. In chapter 5, when Daisy and Gatsby meet, how is weather used to create mood, and what mood(s) is created? 

In this chapter daisy and gatsby finally meet. this meeting is probably one of the most important changing points in the book. the way fitzgerald uses weather to set up their meeting is incredible. on the day of the meeting the weather is terrible and gatsby becomes nervous that the meeting will not go as he suspected. the weather here creates a gloom unhappy mood and sets up a nervous and awkward meeting. however, later in the chapter when nick returns to his house the weather clears up and he finds the two to be very happy and cheery. the way the weather lays out the meeting is very clever and i will be looking out for more instances of this throughout the rest of my read.
