The Great Gatsby Chapter 4 Reaction

Again in this chapter there were lots of things that went on. I thought it was funny how Nick didn’t believe Gatsby when he told him the story of his past, and Gatsby showed him the picture and the medal as proof. That made me think, who carries around a war medal with them? I didn’t really understand when Gatsby got pulled over for speeding and showed the officer the white card and the officer let him go. What did the white card say and where can I pick up mine? I thought that it was interesting to learn that Gatsby’s money might have come from crime. I wonder what kind of crime it could have been. Cool, we get to find out what Gatsby and Jordan talked about at the party; they talked about how Gatsby is in love with Daisy, who also fell in love with him during the war. That was very interesting considering that she was and still is married. It was also interesting to learn that Gatsby wanted Nick to set up a reunion for them because he is scared she would say no. Gatsby was planning to come to Nick’s house for tea and force Daisy to see him. That is smart, but it is also devious. Overall in this chapter I learned a lot of interesting things.
