This chapter starts with Nick telling how he has kept a list of all the people that he has met at Gatsby's parties. So he goes through and tells about all the people and a little bit about them. He basically makes a list of all the rich and famous people in the Eggs. Then Jay takes him to lunch in the city and to meet one of his business partners. On the way up Jay says that he may of heard lots of stories about how he obtained his wealth but he will tell him the truth. he says that his family lived in the Midwest and they all died tragically and then he went to Europe and ended up in the war. So then they get the resturant and they all talk and Nick comes to find out that his partner actually rigged the world series. So right away nick is a little skepticle. Then he tells nick that the buttons on his cuffs are human molars so nick is very freaked out. Then meyer leaves and they see tom and they go up to talk to him and when nick turns around jay is gone. so then it jumps to nick talking to Jordan and she tells him how daisy and jay were in love before tom and daisy got married. And he tells him that is why Jay bought the house across the bay so he could be by daisy. Sh ealso tells him that gatsby wants to use him to get to daisy.
I think that nick is very taken back by all the thinks that he learns in this chapter. He doesn't know what to think about Jay and Daisy and Jay wanting to use him to get to daisy. Also he doesn't know what to think about Meyer and if he is in a bad business or not. but you can tell that he doesn't really judge him which is suprising.
I wonder if he will help out Gatsby or not?
