The Great Gatsby - Chapter Nine

• 'Look here old sport...' Nick is hearing Gatsby's voice, shows the connection that the two of them had.
• 'And it rested there' personification, gives the case a whole new meaning to Nick and the reader.
• The story is told through telephone conversations which fill in the gaps, also shows Nick's loneliness  now that Gatsby is gone.  
• 'Trembling hand' Links back to when Gatsby catches the clock, link between father and son.  Gives Gatsby's father a character without having to describe him in too much detail. 
• 'He was so hard up he had to keep on wearing his uniform because he couldn't buy some regular clothes' Death brings out the truth, Gatsby never really honest with Nick about everything?  Narration has shifted, Meyer W now the narrator.
• 'Nobody came' everyone very superficial, only friends with Gatsby for the alcohol and the parties.  All very fake.
• 'One of my most vivid memories' completely unrelated, shows how the narration is just a stream of Nick's thoughts.
• 'ceaselessly into the past' relationships returning to the state they were in before the summer. Nick was lonely before he met Gatsby, stood on the outside and observed, returning to that.
