The Great Gatsby Notes

Epigraph- a quote in the beginning of a book that foreshadows the theme
" whenever you feel like criticizing anyone.... just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages you've had."
Displacement- out of place
Anachronism- out of time
"She was incurably honest"
"I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known"
