GATSBY chapter 4 notes

The “truth” GATSBY tells Nick is that he is the son of some wealthy people from Middle West and they are all dead note. He was educated in Oxford. When his family died he got into a good deal of money. When the war came he felt a great relief and he tried to die. When he said Little Montenegro his faces lite up. Jorden tells Nick about Daisty. Daisy was two years older than her and was very popular. There was an incident with GATSBY, it was 1917 Jorden didn’t really see Daisy often. Rumors were spread about her that she had backed her bags to go to New York as said good-bye to a soldier, who was going overseas. So then she stopped playing around with the soldiers. By autumn she was happy again. She then was going to marry Tom in June, Jorden walked to her room and found Daisy lying on her bed. Daisy said “... I’d never seen a girl like that before.” and changed her mind on getting married then the next day she married Tom. GATSBY bought Daisy a house so she could be just across the bay.  From what I read both GATSBY and Jorden are telling Nick the truth, because they both give good details about what happened and they aren’t exaggerating about the events that occurred.

WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT GATSBY

I don’t believe GATSBY was that great of a person because he was obsessed with Daisy and he lied about his life. It seemed like he was ashamed to show people who he truly was. However, he seemed like a good person because he was always so kind to Nick, but that maybe just because he knew Daisy and wanted Nick to see him as a good person. Nick isn’t honest with himself because he hangs out with people with aren’t. He always talked about them behind their backs just like each one of them do. He always reminded himself he is honest and if he truly was he wouldn’t constantly say it. He constantly hangs out with dishonest people because he felt like he fit in with them or he wanted to, so he wanted to see what each of them hide. He respects them and seeks out relationships with them because he wants to know about their life’s and wants to feel like he fits in with them. With the information he gets he can have an interesting life to tell others. “They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- ...
