Gatsby puts his hands into his pockets which may symbolize deep thought (20)
CHAPTER 1: It's summer 1922, Nick arrives in NY, he moved there for his new job in the business of bonds. He has rented a house in West Egg, an area for the "New Rich". The people of this area seem to lack social connections. Nick gratuated from Yale and has many East Egg connections. He goes to dinner with his cousin Daisy and her husband, Tom Buchanan, who is a powerful figure. When Nick returns home, he sees Gatsby for the first time staring out at a single green light across the Bay.
CHAPTER 2: Tom takes Nick to Wilson's house that sits on the edge of the valley of ashes. Tom's having a affair with wilsons wife Myrtle. Tom taunts wilson then orders Myrtle to follow him to the train. Tom takes Nick and Myrtle to my city at his morning side heights appartment that he saves for his affair. They have a party with Myrtle's sister Catherine and a couple named McKee. Catherine tells Nick that Jay Gatsby is the nephew of or cousin of Kaiser Milhelm, ruler of Germany during WWI. Nick claims he got drunk for only the second time of his life at this party.
Quote: "Hello, Wilson, old man," Tom said, slapping him joulally on the sholder. "How's Business?"
Chapter Three Summary- In this chapter Gatsby's Chauffer brings Nick an invitation to his party, most people aren't, they just show up. He feels sort of out of place. Nick runs into Jordan, her friend Lucilla, thinks he was a German spy, a graduate from Oxford, and once killed a man. The party is very loud and luxurious, many people getting drunk. Nick and Jordan set out to find Gatsby, and instead run onto a man with big owl eyes. Nick and Jordan start to talk with a young man who happened to serve in the same division as Nick. When he introduces hiself as Jay Gatsby, Nick is shocked. At 2 in the morning husband and wives start to argue whether to leave. Gatsby talks with Jordan for awhile. Nick leaves and comes across Owl Eyes struggling out of his car that is in a ditch. Him and his fried are very drunk. He then describes how his life isn't just about parties. He works in NYC. He had small relationship with a hirl from Jersey City, then ends up seeing Jordan. He knows she is dishonest and even cheated her golf tournament but he is atracted to this quality.
Quote- " He had one of those smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may cross four or five times in life."
