Climax
There are a few things that happened through out the book that might have to us what might be coming next. The glasses that watched over the Wilson's garage and the city of ash is one piece in the book that might have been a good hint to us that something was going to happen. Wilson claimed that these glasses watched over him like God. When Wilson started putting the pieces together about Myrtle and her fooling around with someone, he claimed the glasses, or God, helped him. Him having suspicions about Myrtle is what started their argument for the most part, and if that didn't happen, and God had not been looking out for Wilson, than Myrtle wouldn't have ran out in front of the car. Also, another hint in the book is when Tom goes to the Wilson's garage to get gas before they have their adventure to the city. When they are pulling out of the station, someone makes an observation of the look of multiple emotions on Myrtle's face as she sees Jordan, whom she assumes is Daisy. This is the first time she has seen his "wife," and the look on her face showed she did not take it well. The last main thing that foreshadowed an event like this to happen was when they went into such detail about the yellow car. At some point in the book, you knew something was going to happen relating to Gatsby's yellow car.

Nice blog Abbey Mac. I never really even thought of the glasses when I read the book or did my blog. I likes how you used the glasses and you said that they "watched over him like God" I don't remember that from the book but i like it and I definitely agree with you on how it foreshadows that something is going to happen even though i didn't use that example.
