What do Daisy's choices about her love life say about the upper class?
Daisy's choices show that money and status are the most important things to someone from the upper class. When she was young, Daisy really loved Gatsby. But she married Tom Buchanan because she wanted to get her life started; she didn't want to wait for Gatsby to get back. It says that she was flattered by "his position" and needed a force of money. This shows that money and status are more important than everything, even love, to the upper class.
According to evidence from the book, what may become of Tom and Daisy?
Despite everything, it seems that Tom and Daisy may be okay. After Tom finding out that Daisy didn't really like him, and after Myrtle dying, they seemed to be okay. It was said that they weren't happy but they weren't unhappy either. This implies that things may be okay between them. It's very likely that Daisy would be distraught over Gatsby's death, but in his absence, it will also likely that she will be with Tom, just like what happened when she was young.
Analyze what no one coming to Gatsby's funeral says about upper class life.
This was a statement about status and wealth. Gatsby always had hundreds of people at his house and parties, but not one of them came when he died. None of them actually knew him or was good friends with him. Although Gatsby was extremely popular, he lacked real friends. Upper class life is not as great as it seems because although lots of people know who you are, they don't really know you. You lack friends and this is a major flaw, and a place where lower class life is superior.

Which symbol in the book was most effective in showing a purpose or theme?
I think the valley of ashes was a useful symbol. It showed that upper class life was actually very dreary. The upper class citizens commonly went through the valley of ashes to get home and to get where they needed to go. The valley of ashes is a symbol for upper class lifestyle. Because they often went through the valley of ashes, it shows that underneath, upper class life is actually dreary and depressing.
