The Great Gatsby- chapter 5.

Narrative elements:
The first sentence builds up the tension. Gatsby's dialogue is sporadic (Occurring at irregular intervals or only in a few places; scattered or isolated), this is unusual.Emotive language- Gatsby's movements are sad/ upset. It shows his weakness. In contrast Daisy's musical voice shows her excitement. The repetition of Gatsby's hands in his pockets, he is nervous, awkward. The change of the weather from raining to sun, it shows the mood of this part in the novel because at first when Daisy and Gatsby meet they find it hard to talk to eachother and are embarrased, but by the time the sun comes out Daisy is crying with joy when Nick returns.  'there was a change in Gatsby that was simply confounding'. Gatsby has done so much for Daisy- the detailed descriptions of each room in his house, the reference to a palace. The use of lyrics ' the rich get richer and the poor get poorer'- shows irony of the wealthy house and the poor. Possibly Fitzgerald is trying to say something, maybe he disagrees with this contrast. he is saying what life is like, making a statement. Colours: pink and gold, the house glowed, romantic imagery. 
 Daisy cries into the shirts- could Daisy have wished for a life with Gatsby and wishes for the past? or could she have Gatsby now, as she knows Tom has a mistress?

Themes:
Time- how the clock falls of the mantle piece, shows how slow the time was going and the awkwardness. 
Weather- it links the two halves of the chapter together.
Opposites- Gatsby and Daisy. They both show a different, loving side. 
Materialism-  all the items in Gatsby's house.
Colour.
Authority- at the beginning of the chapter Nick is in charge as Gatsby is basically zoned out of fear. Then when Daisy and Gatsby have had their talk,Gatsby takes charge as he shows them to his house and is rather pushy actually, for example his lodger Klipspringer he demands for him to play piano for them, despite the lodgers complaints.
