NOW IT'S A PARTY / GATSBY

I just read chapter 3 of The Great Gatsby, and here is what I got out of it.


  • The rumors that the two girls and Jordan were talking of Gatsby was that he had killed someone once or he was a german spy during the war. I think Gatsby is so mysterious because no one really knows his deal and he seems intending to keep it that way.  
  • In Gatsby's library, Nick calls the man an owl eyed man because the man doesn't seem to be all there in the moment. 
  • Nick initially imagine's Gatsby to look like a "florid and corpulent person", florid means complicated and corpulent means overweight. 
  • Nick finds out that Jordan Baker is an uncurable liar, she is a scam.
  • Gatsby and Nick plan to fly a hydroplane the next morning. 
  • Nick's cardinal virtue is "I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known". I think he mention's this at this point of the book because all people around him aren't, or you can't tell yet. If that makes sense.
