Abstract: Nick is talking about what happened on his trip to New York with Gatsby. Gatsby tells Nick about his past, saying he was from the midwest and went to Oxford University. Nick asks him what city he is from and Gatsby says San Francisco. Gatsby talks about some accomplishments that he has done, Nick is skeptic so Gatsby shows Nick pictures to prove his story. They get pulled over, Gatsby shows the cop a white card and they are let go without getting a ticket. Nick meets Jordan and she tells him that Gatsby loves Daisy. She said that Gatsby met her when he was int he army but he got shipped out. Then she met Tom. They get a plan to get Nick to invite Daisy to Nick's house and Gatsby will be there.
Response: This is similar to events that happened in Fitzgerald's life. He was in the army and was with a woman. They were engaged but broke up because he couldn't provide for her enough money. I think that Gatsby and Daisy will get back together because it will be like what happened to him in Fitzgerald's life.
Q: Is Gatsby lying about his past? Some things don't add up. Saying from midwest but lived in San Francisco.
