Week 4- 11/21/07

In chapter 6 we find out that Gatsby doesn't drink partially because he used to work for a man who drank quite a little and he inherited money from Cody (man he worked for with the yacht) but he never got the money because for some reason a woman named Ella Kaye got it all. Nick went to Gatsby's one Sunday and Tom, Sloane and another lady were there riding horseback. Did they just stop by for the heck of it? Why did the lady invite Gatsby and Tom to dinner, but when Tom declined and Gatsby agreed, the woman's husband urged them to hurry along while Gatsby was getting ready to go? Tom finds out Gatsby knows Daisy and sort of accuses her of cheating to Nick. Tom and Daisy went to Gatsby's party one night and Gatsby introduced them to everyone. Daisy loved it, but Tom was kind of irritated because Gatsby would introduce him as the polo player. Gatsby and Daisy dance, go sit together and eat together, why isn't Tom mad and wanting to leave? What was going on when that lady said something of her head being dunked into the pool? Did they just do that to sober her up? Daisy liked it, but Tom was sort of jealous of Gatsby it seemed like. Gatsby thought Daisy didn't have fun at the party, even though she did. Gatsby desperately wants to be with Daisy.
