Remix/ Questions?

• Does the fact that Tom and Daisy not being in Chapter 3 mean that they're not MAJOR characters?
• If Gatsby is almost the same age as Nick then how is he so important in society?
• If Gatsby is rich then why did he have to join the war? Couldn't he just pay his debt to society and be on his way, away from the blood and guts?
• Did ladies in the 1920s need to have a date? Like Jordan had her escort, but did she HAVE to bring him? Could she not come alone?

(I will probably have more questions tomorrow in class.)
