Read the paragraphs from Chapter 1 of The Great Gatsby Highlight the sentence that beat shows that Tom longs to relive the glory of his past.
His family were enormously wealthy, even in college his freedom with money was a matter for reproach-but now he'd left
Chicago and come East in a fashion that rather took your breath away, for instance, he'd brought down a string of polo ponies from
Lake Forest. It was hard to realize that a man in my own generation was wealthy enough to do that.
Why they came East I don't know. They had spent a year in France for no particular reason, and then drifted here and there
unrestfully where people played polo and were rich together. This was a permanent move, said Daisy over the telephone, but I
didn't believe it I had no sight into Daisy's heart, but I felt that Tom would drift on forever seeking, a little wistfully, for the dramatic
turbulence of some irrecoverable football game.
