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.)

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!
