If big girls don't cry (according to Fergie), why is Daisy crying over shirts? Is she really crying over shirts? Or could she be "sad" about something else? Why do the shirts trigger her sadness, though? (There's been one other mentioning of Daisy crying in the novel—remember when that was?) Is Gatsby trying too hard here? What does he think tossing these shirts will prove? What could the shirts represent? How do the shirts fit into Gatsby's dream?
