I just read Chapter 3 of The Great Gatsby, and here is what I got out of it.
- The two girls said that Gatsby had killed someone or that he was a German spy. These rumors came up after the girls told Nick and Jordan about Gatsby's weird behavior. I think Gatsby is so mysterious because I feel like he doesn't want people to be up in his personal business. I noticed that during the time this book is placed, all people really did at gatherings was gossip.
- Nick calls the man in Gatsby library " Owl Eye's "
- Nick initially images Gatsby to look like a " Rosy, husky, and middle-aged"
- Nick discovers that Jordan is incurably dishonest.
- Gatsby and Nick plan to up the hydroplane at 9am
- At the end of the chapter, we learn that Nick's cardinal virtue is " I am one of the few honest people that I have ever know". I feel like Nick feels this way because he surrounds himself with people who start rumors or pretend to be someone their not.
