Notes And Thoughts On Gatsby Chapter 5--Pgs.86


  • Gatsby's house looks like a party is going on but there's no sound. "Worlds Fair"
  • Nick is telling Gatsby how's he is gonna invite Dasiy over for tea.
  • It's funny that Gatsby is being very calm about Daisy's arrival and is acting like he doesn't care, but he actually is very excited.
  • Gatsby offers Nick a job at his side business since Nick doesn't make much money selling bonds.
  • I think this is another way Gatsby is trying to get closer to nick.
  • Gonnegtion- means Eye dialect.
  • Nick invites Daisy for tea but tells not to bring Tom with her.
  • Gatsby is being restless that Daisy hasn't shown up to Nick's home for tea.
  • When Daisy came into the house Gatsby had disappeared.
  • It's funny how at first Gatsby was all mad that Daisy wasn't there, but now that she is he doesn't know how to act.
  • Dasiy knows that its been years that they have seen each other, but Gatsby knows exactly how long it been. 
  • Gatsby has been keeping track of house long its been since they have seen each other (Five years next November).
  • I find it kinda romantic that Gatsby has been counting the days until he would see Daisy again.
  • Gatsby now thinks that her coming over for tea was a mistake.
  • Nick tells Gatsby to stop being a little boy.
  • Gatsby invites Daisy and Nick over to his house for a tour. 
  • Nick is very skeptical about joining them.
  • We know now that Gatsby inherited his money but lost most of it in Panic Of  The War.
  • Gatsby has been in the drug and oil business, but not anymore.
  • Gatsby replied very rudely to Nick when he asked about what business he was in. " That's my affair".
  • I feel like Gatsby changes his attitude very quickly because of Nick's relationship to Daisy.
  • Gatsby has a man in England that sends him his clothes for each season of the year.
  • Daisy is crying over the beautiful skirts Gatsby has.
  • Nick plays the piano for Gatsby and Daisy.
