The Great Gatsby - Chapter 4 & 5

Summarize-

Chapter 4 & 5:

In this chapter, it reviewed all the individuals that lived on West Egg and East Egg. West Egg was more of the "new money" and contained cultures such as the German, Jewish, Italian, Irish and British. The East Egg was inherited money or "old money" and that contained the "blue blood" or royalty. Then Gatsby arrived at Nick's house and asked him to lunch. They went to lunch, all the way across the Queensboro Bridge. They met Gatsby's friend Mr. Wolfshiem and Mr. Woldshiem was talking about eating across the street and told a tramatizing story of how a friend of their's had been shot across the street. After awhile, Mr. Wolfshiem left and Gatsby brought up that Nick would be having tea with Miss Jordan Baker that afternoon. Later, Nick had tea with Jordan and she told him of how Gatsby and Daisy use to be in love and then he left and she wasn't able to say goodbye. Then she met mean Tom and married him instead. The day before their wedding Daisy received a letter from Gatsby and a never break down before the rehearsal and pulled herself together and married Tom anyways.

Needless to say, Nick accepted and invited Daisy over for tea and also instructed her not to bring Tom. When she arrived Nick and Gatsby were there, but Gatsby became nervous and hid around the corner. Gatsby finally appeared and they were reunited. Gatsby wanted to show Daisy his house, so they went over to his house and she was amazed how big the house was and how nice it was. Daisy and Gatsby slowly, but surely, became close again. I do believe she was even holding Gatsby's arm at the end of the chapter.

Reponse:

FINALLY THE STORY BECOMES INTERESTING! I really enjoyed these chapters. The beginning of Chapter 4 dragged a little because I honestly didn't care if they went to lunch but when they finally got down to why Gatsby invited him it all made since. I am glad Nick invited her over and I am darn glad that she didn't bring Tom. I am really enjoying this love story already. I didn't think it would turn out to be a good book but so far it really is!!!
