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.
Two big ideas I got by reading the ending of Brave New World is that people always get caught up in society and what others think. People can not be taken seriously about their feeling because others won’t understand them, or it’s something they have never felt before so others don’t know how to react.
