Hey so I guess this blog didn't post. And for this chapter I did forget to do the most important quote, but for chapter 2 I did choose the most meaningful passage as Nick saying he had been drunk only twice in his life.
Chapter 3 Pages 39-59
As Chapter 3 begins Nick describes the insanely chaotic parties that Gatsby throws and he also is invited to one. At the party he runs into Jordan Baker and he meets her friend Lucille. Nick and Jordan float around in the party until an unknown man (Gatsby) says that Nick looks familiar, like he served in the war. Gatsby and Nick were in the same division. Later in the night Gatsby talks with Jordan alone and when she comes out she tells Nick that she heard the most amazing thing, but she promised not to tell. As Nick is leaving Gatsby reassures that they are to meet to go on the hydroplane the next day. The chapter ends as Nick describes his job and that his relationship with Jordan progressed, as he thought he loved her for a second.
-Gatsby
-"Gatsby, standing alone on the marble steps and looking from one group to another with approving eyes...but noone swooned backward on Gatsby"
-Gastby is generous because he is extremely wealthy and with his money he throws parties that other people enjoy. He also seems very smart because to Nick it seemed that Gatsby chose his words with care. Gatsby is however a bit lonely, but it seems that he likes it because at his parties he does not drink or socialize much, but watches other people have fun.
-Gatsy is the character named for the book, so obviously he is very important. The book is almost a bit of a mystery novel because the partiers do not know Gatsby well, nor do they know how he got his wealth. Many rumors are spread about his job and past, but nobody knows for sure. Also apart of the mystery is why Gatsby should be social because he throws huge parties for many people, but is satisfied with watching everyone else have fun.
