chapters 3, 4, and 5

i thought the third chapter was really good. nick had met Gatsby at a party which i thought was going to happen later on in the novel. nick went with that Jordan girl to the party but she ditched her date to be with him which i thought was really rude.i thought it was funny that nick didn't know who Gatsby was until he was talking to him, about him. i think this chapter really sets a good basis for the story and I'm expecting it to get even more interesting. while the author does a good job in detail and opinion, i don't like how he broke off from the story when he was talking to the guy who crashed his car. i think sticking to the story would have been more interesting and would have contributed to the story more than how he did it. i am also anticipating that Gatsby will become a very round, well developed character in the story. i think his presence contributes to how nick feels and describes his experiences so i hope he becomes more of a protagonist than an antagonist. over all i think the story is developing well even though its still the first few chapters and i think its going to develop into an interesting story.

i didnt think much of the fourth chapter because nothing had really gotten my attention. gatsby, as a character, isnt really round. i thought his role in this book wouldve been larger than a cocky party host. but i think chapter four gives him depth. he becomes mysterious because of the white card and the man he introduced nick to and we learn of his love for daisy and that jordan is to set up a reunion. i thought the story between daisy and gatsby was really sad because she loved him but she married tom after gatsby left for war and he wrote that letter to her. i think that jordan is also growing into a more rounded character because she is bacoming involved with everything surrounding nicks life.

chapter five was definatly satisfying. jordan and nick just had a date and now nick is asking for help with daisy. at first i was suprised to see gatsby ask him that because they had only known each other for a short time, but im glad that nick accepted his request. the beginning of the reunion seemed really akward at first but over time it turned out to be a great idea. it had become so much fun that daisy and gatsby had forgotten that nick was even there so nick quietly snuck out and let daisy and gatsby be alone.
