Chapter 3 - Gatsby

Abstract: In the beginning Gatsby is throwing a big party. He is known for putting big parties together with well known and wealthy guests. Nick is at the party and he sees Jordan there with her friend Lucille. Lucille thinks that Gatsby is some kind of German spy and has killed a man before. Nick and Jordan go out, they sit at a table where Nick sees a man that he recognizes but doesn't remember the mans name. The man says his name is Jay Gatsby. Nick notices that Gatsby tends to keep to himself and isn't a drinker. Nick begins to walk home and sees a car in a ditch, it is the same man he had seen in the library earlier.

Response: This makes Gatsby seem more mysterious to me, he throws many parties but isn't seen much around them. He isn't trying to be the center of attention even though it is his party. Jordan talked to Gatsby and said she heard something great, but it was never said what she was told.

Q: Why doesn't Gatsby want to be the center of attention at his parties? What did he tell Jordan?
