Joseph’s Thoughts

1.  Gatsby tells Nick that he waited for Daisy until 4:30 in the morning. 2. Nick tells him to leave Long Island and forget about daisy. 3. Gatsby says that’s Daisy told him she’d promise to wait for him until after the war but when he came back she was married to Tom. 4. He knows that autumn is in the air and the leaves will be falling off the trees and the gardener is afraid the leaves with clog the drains. Gatsby tells him to wait a day because he’s never swam in his own pool. 5. Nick goes to the office to get work done and refuses to meet with Jordan Baker.  The tone and the whole mood of the story changes when they take things back to what happened at the garage with everyone the last time they were all together.

The rumors about Gatsby in previous chapters still occur and are talked about in New York Gatsby’s early life is revealed He was born on a North Dakota Farm and his real name is James Gatz He went to St. Olaf’s college but he dropped out just after two weeks of going there Daisy wants to tell Tom that she never loved him 5 years before Gatsby and Daisy we’re walking down the side walk and they stopped and Gatsby leaned in and kissed her

Gatsby  invites Nick on a trip to Coney Island Gatsby has a plan to invite Daisy over for tea but he wants Nick to agree to it first Gatsby shows them around his house and Daisy admires his luxurious lifestyle and When he shows them his collection of English shirts Daisy begins to cry Nick leaves them alone for a while and he comes back and it seems that they may have forgotten he was even there so Nick gets up and leaves.

Nick attends another party that Gatsby has One morning Gatsby goes to Nicks house and tells him that they are going to eat lunch in New York During the drive Gatsby tells Nick about his past They get pulled over and Gatsby shows the officer some white card and the officer just lets him go

Why does Nick move from Minnesota to New York? Who is Nicks neighbor? Who is Myrtle Wilson? How is Myrtles Character used as a metaphor in the story? Who is George Wilson? How are George and Tom different from each other? How does the green light symbolize the American dream? Who is Jordan Baker and what is she known for?

1) The rumors that were being spread were about how Gatsby killed someone and also that he is said to be a German spy during the war. I think he’s so mysterious because he probably doesn’t want people to find out these things about him. 2) Nick calls the man Owl-eyes because he wears glasses with huge eye lenses on them. 3)  Nick discovers that Jordan Baker is very dishonest and isn’t true to her word but it doesn’t seem to bother Nick. 4) Gatsby invites Nick to go “try out” his new hydroplane he just purchased and wanted to go at 9 o’clock the next day. 5) “I am one of the “FEW” honest people I’ve ever known” I think that the author mentions this because Nick thinks he’s nothing like the other people around him that are dishonest and spread secrets and rumors.

 Gatsby meets Buchanan's mistress Tom drags Nick into a gagrage Toms girlfriend is the mechanics wife Myrtle leaves with the men Myrtle buys a dog for 10 dollars
