Words.

"Looked up at an unfamiliar sky thought frightened leaves and shivered as he found what a grotesque thing rose is and how raw the sunlight was upon the scarcely created grass," (pg 161) this quote shows how everything in Gatsby's life seems to be running away and changing all at once. By using the words "unfamiliar, frightened, shivered, grotesque, raw, and scarcely" it creates tension, fright and mystery for Fitzgerald's final chapter. In the next paragraph he uses "anxiously," and again the word "scarcely" as Nick enters Gatsby's home which gives off the feeling of uneasiness in the house. During the last paragraph "accidental" (pg 162) is used repeatedly, as if someone is retelling the story and is making sure everyone knows that it wasn't anyone fault. Now we know that two deaths have happened, the question is what will Gatsby do? Will he move out of town and leave Daisy behind? Or will he fight to prove his innocence?
