Chapter Four

Song: Rascal Flatts "my wish"
I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,And each road leads you where you want to go,And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.And if one door opens to another door closed,I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,But more than anything, more than anything,My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,You never need to carry more than you can hold,And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,Yeah, this, is my wish.I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,All the ones who love you, in the place you left,I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,And you help somebody every chance you get,Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,And you always give more than you take.But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,You never need to carry more than you can hold,And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,Yeah, this, is my wish.My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,You never need to carry more than you can hold,And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,Yeah, this, is my wish.This is my wishI hope you know somebody loves youMay all your dreams stay big

This song relates to the text because throughout chapter four it shows how Daisy and Gatsby like eachother a lot. However, they can not be together because of Tom her husband. This song explains how much they like eachother but can not be together. But where ever and whoever they wind up up with they hope they are happy. That is how Gatsby and Daisy feel for eachother.

Qoutes:

1. "Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay" (83) This shows that he cares and likes this girl that much that he would move his house across from her to see her everyday. This reltes to the chapter because Gatsby likes Daisy alot and would do anything for her like moving across the street from her.
2. "he wants to know... if you'll invite Daisy to your house some afternoon and then let him come over" (83) This is a plan that Gatsby had planned out for Nick to invite daisy and him over so they could be together without being known they are seeing eachother. This relates to the chapter and to the lyrics because the song explains how they will go to all ends to be with them and Gatsby is doing this for Daisy.
3. "He's afraid. He's waited so long. He thought you might be offended. You see he's a regular tough underneath it all." (84) This is showing that he has been waiting along time to even just talk to the woman that's how much he likes her. The chapter and song is about the lust between two people who need eachother in their life and do not want to do anything to mess it up. This quote shows that he is careful with his decisions due to the negitive outcome to theirrelationship.
4. "...unlike Gatsby and Tom Buchanan I had no girl whose disembodid face floated along the dark conices and blinding signs". (84) This is showing that Gatsby and Tom are in a feud with the same chick and it is obvious that both like her. But as you see throughout Gatsby and Tom's relationship with Daisy Gatsby knows he's the best guy for her and not Tom.

Summary:

The theme of this chapter would be love because it is clearly shown the passion and love that Gatsby has for Daisy. He can't be with her because she is married to Tom and he knows she deserves someone better. He feels like he is better man for her and can not live without her. But he knows they can not be and wants her to be happy and maybe in the future they would be together. The song relates to all this because it is talking about how the girl of their dreams is slipping away from them and they can't let that happen. But if it does they hope they just find happiness with whoever can give that to them. That is how Gatsby feels for Daisy he knows he can't be with her but he knows he can't live without her. Daisy feels the same and desperately wants to be with Gatsby and not Tom.
