After Awkward Meeting
We knew that Gatsby and Daisy were in love before the war. In this chapter Nick arrange a meeting that Gatsby and Daisy can meet again. They had awkward moment during the tea, and Gatsby invited Nick and Daisy over to his house. Daisy was amazed by size of Gatsby's house, and Daisy and Gatsby had good time at Gatsby's house. I think Gatsby can make Daisy happier than Tom does, Nick thought same. "His had took hold of hers, and as she said something low in his ear he turned toward her with rush of emotion. I think that voice held him most, with its fluctuating, feverish warmth, because it couldn't be over-dreamed - that voice was a deathless song." (pg.96) Think they already have fell to each other like they did before. I would do that if I met person I have really loved before, I would be extremely nervous and happy. I hope they end with good ending, and I don't want Nick to get in Gatsby's business, which Gatsby have asked.

Strange Man
People were talked about all the rumors about Gatsby in chapter 3. In chapter 4 there was clue about the rumors about Gatsby. While Gatsby and Nick were walking the street they met a man called Mr.Wolfsheim. He seems like a gangster and he was a gambler and also Gatsby's business connection. Mr Wolfsheim said "I understand you're looking for a business gonnegtion." (p.70) and Gatsby was stunned and said to him Nick is not finding business connections. Gatsby said that he got money from his parent after the war but I think he got that money from inappropriate way. Mr.Wolfsheim kept try to get Nick in his business. That makes me more suspicious about Gatsby. Why Gatsby working with man who policeman try to arrest? Where Gatsby got money form? Which fact that Gatsby told is true and which is false? I hope find another clue about Gatsby next chapter.

Move to East Coast
In first chapter of The Great Gatsby, Nick is introduced. Book introduce him as nonjudgmental person, who don't judge someone by his own eye and thought. Since narrator is nonjudgmental person, it makes us to know truth of person. Nick never say neither someone is good or someone is bad.He was lived in Minnesota, in middle part of United State. After he graduate Yale he decided to move to East coast, to West Eggs. In West Egg, there was lots of new moneys. When he got in to Tom's mansion, he felt not good, he seems uncomfortable in fancy house. I would feel that to when I go to fancy house with expansive decorations. Nick met Tom, Daisy, and Jordan at dinner. Tom was Nick's alumnus from college, and Daisy is his cousin. Daisy lives under Tom's command because Tom was strict and violent man. I think Nick fell to Jordan because Daisy and Tom keep stayed together. So, Nick just stick with Jordan and he started to felling to her. Jordan mentioned about Gatsby and Nick wanted to know more about Gatsby. Chapter 1 shows that Nick's feeling about East, West Eggs, and he felt he isn't belong there, seems he doesn't like the life in there, like all the fancy stuff in there, and way the rich people live.
