further questions

I have a few questions to complicate the issues . . . and a few observations as well.

• can anyone suggest a connection between the Valley of Ashes and the Buchanans' place?
• why do people party?  and to what extent do the parties we've seen thus far fulfill what parties are supposed to provide?
• what does Tom see (or have) in Myrtle that he doesn't see (or have) in Daisy?  In other words, what does Myrtle give Tom that Daisy doesn't?
• interesting comments on Dr. T. J. Eckleberg!
• If you see this in time, please bring in a small piece of one blog that you find intriguing or particularly insightful--either from your own or from another blog.
