Chapter 3 Notes (completed chapter)

Beginning of chapter
  • Nick goes to Gatsby's soiree
  • Nick sees Jordan Baker and mingles with her
  • Two ladies come to "mingle" with Jordan and spark up a conversation with Nick about Gatsby

  • Nick meets a random man and talks to him
    • They talk about the war (both in)
    • Man looks around Nick's age
    •  "Oh I don't know where Gatsby is. Where is the host? Yada yada."
  • The random man introduces himself to Nick as Gatsby
    • Nick apologizes and feels embarrassed
    • Gatsby apologizes for not introducing himself sooner
  • Lovey Dovey jazz song comes on and couple dance
    • GATSBY HAS NO LADY LEANING ON HIM!!
    • Gatsby's butler asks Jordan to follow him to meet Gatsby
      • Gatsby spills some juicy drama that we don't know yet
  • Nick 'leaves' Gatsby's house to see a car wreck outside
    • (In my opinion, the car crash wasn't even that important. Nobody got hurt so meh.)
  • Nick doesn't see Jordan Baker for some time
  • NICK MEETS JORDAN AND FALLS IN LOVE?
    • just kidding...?
  • Jordan is a liar 
    • The golf tournament
    • the car's top that she left down and rain ruined it (Full House anyone?)
MY FAVORITE (so far) CONVERSATION BETWEEN JORDAN AND NICK

"You're a rotten driver," I protested. 
"Either you ought to be more careful, or you oughtn't to drive at all."
 "I am careful." 
"No, you're not." "
Well, other people are," she said lightly. 
"What's that got to do with it?"
 "They'll keep out of my way," she insisted. 

Jeez I love her comeback! Badabing badabong!
