Who avoids Nick’s calls, writes a letter saying he/she cannot come down, and then says "Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead" as an excuse for not attending Gatsby’s funeral?

1. in the bold portion of the narrative, the author tries to use a flashback to develop tension. however, the flashback does not create tension. rewrite the flashback scene so it develops tension right at the beginning of the story. (15 points)
