2. Why isn't Myrtle content with her marriage? Explain why you think they haven't gotten a divorce. (pg. 39)
3. Predict how Nick will meet Gatsby. Would you be intimidated or intrigued?

1. Tom Buchanan is everything but ashamed of his affair with Mrs. Wilson. Tom takes Mrs. Wilson out on dates in public contributing to him not being ashamed that he is a married man. This shows that he has no respect for his wife, and the people that believe his actions are misconstruing.
2. Myrtle isn't content with her marriage because she once believed that her husband was a gentlemen and could provide a content life for her but he was the total opposite. The reason why Myrtle and Wilson have not gotten a divorce was because she is Catholic and Catholics don't believe in divorce.
3. I predict that Gatsby will run into Nick around their neighborhood and Gatsby will invite Nick to one of his house parties. If I were to meet Gatsby I would be intrigued; I would be intrigued by him because from what Nick has stated, Gatsby seems mysterious and mysterious people attract me therefore, I would be intrigued enough to want to get to know him better.
1.Tom Buchanan, is definitely not ashamed of his affair with Mrs.Wilson. He is not ashamed because he flaunts Mrs. Wilson in front of Daisy by taking her on public dates even though, he is clearly married. This shows that he is shady. He is shady because he does not care about cheating on Daisy even if its in front of her face.
2.Myrtle is not content with her marriage because at a point in her life, she believed her husband possess positive qualities as a husband, but he was everything but positive. They have not gotten a divorce yet, because they are both Catholic and it would be against their religion to get a divorce.
3.I believe that Gatsby would meet Nick though Tom or unexpectedly meet since they are neighbors. I would be intrigued, because many people talk highly of Gatsby, and for Nick to meet him, it will show what kind of man Gatsby really is .
