The Great Gatsby Chapter 5 Reaction

Gatsby puts a lot of information into each chapter, which could be good and bad. It was scary that Gatsby hid near Nick’s house to tell him that he wanted to have tea with Daisy. That seems wrong and a bit stalker like to me. When Nick says yes I was surprised to read that Gatsby offers to basically pay him. It was very weird of Nick to refuse his offers. It feels weird to me because today it seems like people will do a lot of things for money. Why did Gatsby send someone over to cut Nick’s grass in the rain, that can’t be good for the Gardiner. Something else that happened that I thought was weird was when Gatsby took a walk around the house in the rain. I wonder why he took the walk. I thought it was funny how Gatsby told Nick that the meeting was a bad idea and 30 minutes later Gatsby and Daisy are extremely happy. To me it seems weird when a person idolizes a woman because then she is his whole life,  that person could lose so much because of it. It must have been really awkward for Nick when he realized that Daisy and Gatsby had forgot that he was even there. Overall this chapter was very interesting and I learned a lot more about some of the characters.
