Heya, så er jeg på banen igen med noget engelsk.. Hvis der er en der liige gider kigge det igennem for fejl, og derudover lige overveje om det egenligt er et godt summary. Vores lærerinde har punket os til at et "godt" summary finder ind til kernen af det der skal skrives om, og beskriver det ud fra handlingerne, istedet for blot slavisk at beskrive hvad der sker.. Kritik og ros modtages :)
På forhånd takker!
Chapter 7 digs into the persons’ personalities in the story. A confrontation takes place in the Plaza Hotel in New York, where Tom, Daisy, Nick, Jordan and Gatsby has driven to (Gatsby and Daisy in a car alone). On the way Tom learns that Mr. Wilson has discovered that Myrtle is having an affair – just not with whom. Mr. Wilson is practically ill, while Tom (who has been in the same situation just a couple of hours before, when he realised the love between Gatsby and Daisy) doesn’t show much sign of weakness. The confrontation between Tom and Gatsby reveals their flaws;
Tom is less shaken by the fact that Daisy is having an affair, than the fact that she had it with someone of the lower class (he does not, on the other hand, see his affair with Myrtle in this light). We also learn that what Gatsby loves about Daisy’s voice is that it sounds like money
– for him she represents the money and wealth he always desired. His motives may be far more selfish than the love of Daisy’s personality. It becomes clear in this chapter that Gatsby cannot take up the past like nothing happened. Gatsby is introduced to Daisy’s child and can’t believe that she is real.
In this chapter Daisy and Gatsby tries to take up the past, but it ends in a catastrophe; Myrtle is killed when she runs in front of the car Daisy is driving. Tom, with Nick and Jordan in the car, drives by some time later and discovers that it must’ve been Gatsby and Daisy who had driven the car that killed Myrtle.
Gatsby is still seizing the past (beating a dead horse, in other words) - wanting it all, even when Tom and Daisy has made peace at the house after the accident.

måske "characters personalities" istedet for "persons' personalities"..
"when she runs out in front of the car"
"must have"
"when she runs out in front of the car"
"must have"
