Chapter 4 Pages 61-80
Chapter 4 starts out with Nick describing everyone who has attended one of Gatsby's parties over summer. Then Gatsby pulls up to Nick's house and they drive to NYC to get lunch, where Gatsby introduces Nick to Mr. Wolfsheim, the man who fixed the 1919 World Series.  Gatsby explains to Nick that at his tea with Jordan she will explain something very important to him, and at the tea Jordan explains that Daisy and Gatsby knew each other before the war, and that basically Gatsby wants Nick to trick Daisy into meeting Gatsby.
-Meyer Wolfsheim
-"No, he's a gambler... He's the man who fixed the World's Series back in 1919."
-He is a small, cunning fifty year old Jewish man who knows how manipulate people, as he is the man who fixed the 1919 World Series. He must also be very smart and powerful if he can fix the World Series and not get caught for it.
-Wolfsheim is a shady guy, but it seems that he and Gatsby go very far back, and Wolfsheim likes Gatsby very much.  Their connection, along with the skepticism that Gatsby's family died and left him a lot of money could mean that they are business partners and a new secret about Gatsby is to be revealed. 
-"There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy, and the tired." When I first heard this I thought about the American dream and how people work (the busy) to pursue the American Dream and reach their aspirations.  Then I thought about the book.  Everyone is pursuing to be like Gatsby or Tom, because they have lots of money and are in high class.  Thus, they are busy trying to gain money and they are tired physically from the work and mentally from having to suffer as the lower class.  Nick, however doesn't fit into any category because he doesn't particularly want to be the richest man on earth, and he is fine financially.
