Chapter 2

1. Song Lyrics or Picture:


"Who's to know if your soul will fade at all

The one you sold to fool the world

You lost your self-esteem along the way

And just fake it if you're out of direction

Fake it if you don't belong here

Fake it if you feel like affection

you're such a hypocrite

And you should know that the lies won't hide your flaws

No sense in hiding all of yours

You gave up on your dreams along the way"

Seether, Fake it lyrics




2. Explanation:
These song lyrics represent how in this chapter it's all about what people think of you and what they think they know about you.



3.Quotes:

" 'Neither of them can stand the person they're married to'
'Can't they?' 'Can't Stand them'...'What I say is, why go on living with
them if they can't stand them?' "

"She turned to Mrs.McKee and the room rang full of her artificial laughter."

"Tom Buchanan and Mrs.Wilson stood face to face discussing in impassioned voices whether Mrs.Wilson had any right to mention Daisy's name. 'Daisy! Daisy! Daisy!' shouted Mrs.Wilson.'I'll say it whenever I want to! Daisy! Dai-' making a short deft movement Tom Buchanan broke her nose with his open hand"

This quote shows how some one can have to separate identities and be so two-faced. This shows how Tom didn't want to combine his two worlds.
