Answers  to question one a significant passage from Gatsby’s  tea with daisy is when Nick was talking to: himself about: Daisy and Gatsby.  Nick is with Daisy and Gatsby at the reuniting tea at Gatsby's house. They are taking a tour of the house and you can see in Gatsby's eyes that he still loves her. "Then Nick “ I think he revalued everything in his house according to the measure of response it drew from her well-loved eyes. Sometimes, he stared at his possessions in a dazed way as though in her actual presence none of it was real." (ch. 5 "Possibly it had occurred to him that the colossal significance of that light had now vanished forever. Compared to the great distance that had separated him from Daisy it had seemed very near to her, almost touching her. It had seemed as close as a star to the moon. Now it was again a green light on a dock. His count of enchanted objects had diminished by one” These lines are  significant because when Nick was talking to himself at tea with Gatsby and Daisy he realizes that Gatsby is still in love with Daisy. Nick realizes that Gatsby’s grieving and wanting Daisy is over because he finally has seen and talked to her after 5 years of waiting. . You’re acting like a little boy,” I broke out impatiently. “Not only that, but you’re rude. Daisy’s sitting in there all alone” (Fitzgerald 5) Gatsby was hesitant about going in there with Daisy. Yes they used to date but his intentions are foreshadowed to [[#|win]] her back. This explains why everything had to be perfect for her. Also, to symbolize his wealth and to show her what she could of had because he is now successful if she just waited for him to come back from war. Once they move into Gatsby’s house and go upstairs to his room the most symbolic scene occurs. “He took out a pile of shirts and began throwing them, one by one, before us, shirts of sheer linen and thick silk fine flannel, which lost their folds as they fell and covered the table in many- colored disarray....”they're such beautiful shirts” she sobbed”. (Fitzgerald 5) The shirts were multicolored and in this book all the colors are symbolic which represents the shirts as her feelings and Gatsby’s feelings all falling down on them.

Answer to question two  a significant passage that explains Gatsby’s true past is in chapter 6 when Nick says The truth was that Jay Gatsby, of West Egg, Long Island, sprang from his Platonic conception of himself. He was a son of God—a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that—and he must be about His Father’s business, the service of a vast, vulgar, and meretricious beauty. So he invented just the sort of Jay Gatsby that a seventeen year old boy would be likely to invent, and to this conception he was faithful to the end.

• In Chapter 6, when Nick finally describes Gatsby’s early history, he uses this striking comparison between Gatsby and Jesus Christ to illuminate Gatsby’s creation of his own identity. Fitzgerald was probably influenced in drawing this parallel by a nineteenth-century book by Ernest Renan entitled The Life of Jesus. This book presents Jesus as a figure who essentially decided to make himself the son of God, then brought himself to ruin by refusing to recognize the reality that denied his self-conception. Renan describes a Jesus who is “faithful to his self-created dream but scornful of the factual truth that finally crushes him and his dream”—a very appropriate description of Gatsby. Fitzgerald is known to have admired Renan’s work and seems to have drawn upon it in devising this metaphor. Though the parallel between Gatsby and Jesus is not an important motif in The Great Gatsby, it is nonetheless a suggestive comparison, as Gatsby transforms himself into the ideal that he envisioned for himself (a “Platonic conception of himself”) as a youngster and remains committed to that ideal, despite the obstacles that society presents to the fulfillment of his dream.
