Question

1. when nick called up daisy, where was she? what does it tell us about daisy?
2. what does the interaction between nick and mr. gatz help the reader better understand or know about gatsby in terms of his relationship with his family?

Explanation:

For question 1 (from The Great Gatsby): When Nick calls Daisy, she and Tom have left East Egg, planning a trip (likely to avoid consequences of Gatsby's death). This shows Daisy is self - centered, prioritizing escape over Gatsby's memory or Nick's attempts to reach her, and is willing to abandon the situation with Tom.

For question 2: Nick's interaction with Mr. Gatz (Gatsby's father) reveals Gatsby had a distant relationship with his family. Mr. Gatz is proud of Gatsby's achievements but also shows Gatsby's desire to reinvent himself (his father has mementos of his ambitions). It highlights Gatsby's isolation from his family, as they were unaware of his true life and he kept them at a distance to maintain his new identity.

Answer:

1. When Nick called Daisy, she (along with Tom) had left East Egg, planning a trip (to get away from the aftermath of Gatsby's death). This shows Daisy is self - interested, avoiding the situation and showing little regard for Gatsby or Nick's efforts to reach her.
2. The interaction between Nick and Mr. Gatz shows Gatsby had a distant relationship with his family.
