In Chapter 3, Nick describes the life of his partying neighbor, Gatsby. The house is equipped with bars, buffets, maids, butlers, and more. Gatsby orders musicians that play throughout the night at his wild parties. Nick is invited to Gatsby’s party one night and actually decides to attend. I found this a little odd considering Nick doesn’t seem like the “partying” type. Nick wouldn’t be one of the people you’d expect to run into there. At the party, Nick spots his cousin Daisy’s good friend Jordan Baker and stays with her for the rest of the night. It seems as though Gatsby is an urban legend, everyone knows of him but hasn’t seen him. I’m Interested in why he’s so low key. What is he hiding? A couple hours into the party Nick finally meets the famous Gatsby. It just so happens that they were in the Third Division in the war together. As usual, Gatsby disappears and Nick finally decides to leave the party. Days later Nick starts to think about his feelings for Jordan. He might love her.
