Final answer:
In F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Great Gatsby,' Gatsby sees Daisy as an angel, lacks social graces as seen when he accepts an insincere dinner invitation, and gains an education in wealth from Dan Cody. 'Old money' and 'new money' differentiate inherited wealth from earned wealth. Gatsby did not have many close friends despite his large parties.
Step-by-step explanation:
What had Gatsby turned Daisy into in his own mind? Gatsby had idealized Daisy to the point where he saw her as an angel, an almost mythical representation of love and perfection that he yearned to possess and recreate from their past.
How does Gatsby reveal his lack of social graces to Tom? Gatsby reveals his lack of social graces when he accepts an insincere dinner invitation, showing his inability to navigate the subtle social cues of the wealthy elite.
Which of the following does Gatsby get from his association with Dan Cody? From his association with Dan Cody, Gatsby gains an education in the ways of the New Money wealthy, which influences his future lifestyle and pursuit of wealth.
How does Gatsby’s connection with Dan Cody begin to develop the motif of wealth? Dan Cody gives Gatsby experiences that encourage him to pursue a life of wealth, setting Gatsby on the path to building his own fortune and embodying the American Dream.
What does “old money” versus “new money” mean? Old money refers to wealth that has been passed down through generations of a family, while new money pertains to wealth that has been earned or accumulated by the individual.
How long did it take Gatsby to make the money to buy the mansion? It is not explicitly stated in the novel exactly how long it took Gatsby to make his money, but we can infer that it was a relatively short period given his rapid rise to wealth and the time frame mentioned in the story.
Gatsby has many close friends and that’s why he’s able to throw large parties. This statement is False. Gatsby's large parties are a means to attract Daisy rather than a gathering of close friends; most partygoers do not even know Gatsby personally.
