Chapter Three

Pg. 48 "He's just a man named Gatsby."
Everyone thinks that just because he has so much money that he is better than everyone else and that he never associates with anyone except at his parties. He is out there but he is just the type of person who keeps to himself unless he is having a party. I also feel like he has these parties because he is alone.


Pg. 57 "I wasn't actually in love, but i felt a sort of tender curiosity."
With feelings you never know what is going to make you feel or how strong. Nick isn't in love but it could be the start of a love that is growing for Jordan. He doesn't just like her because of her status, but because he likes her as a person and that's the best way to like someone because of their personalities not by the money they have, the car they drive, or what they wear.

Pg. 58 "it take two to make an accident."
I feel like Fitzgerald put this quote in the book for a lot of reasons. Not just because of reckless driving. There is a lot of "accidents" in this book and he had to put this quote in there because they is an underlying meaning to it. There is going to be stuff later on in the book that we may not even see coming and we really can't judge it yet. I feel like this is a little bit of foreshadowing on his part as an author.

Pg. 59 "I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known."
Nick says he's honest, but do we really know if he is telling all of the parts of the story. He could be leaving parts out and not telling us what is completely going on. If he only tells us what he wants us to know and then forgetting the rest is just not being honest. We don't know if he is keeping anything from us. We have to trust that he is being honest with us. He feels like everyone around him could be lying too. We don't know that for sure.
