Great Gatsby Chapter 7 notes

Gatsby hasn't thrown any parties so Nick goes over to see him and finds that Gatsby has fired all his servants and replaced them with people that don't go into West Egg Village.

Nick goes to Tom and Daisy's house with Gatsby and tension is high between Gatsby and Tom because Tom suspects something between Gatsby and Daisy.

Tom suggests that they go to New York and Daisy and Gatsby go in her car and Tom, Nick, and Jordan go in Gatsby's car. On the way there, Tom tells Nick and Jordan that he investigated Gatsby's past.

Tom stops for gas and Wilson tells him he needs money to get himself and Myrtle out of town and go West because he's found out that Myrtle is cheating on him.

When they arrive they go to a suite at Plaza Hotel and Tom confronts Gatsby about his intentions towards his wife. Gatsby says that Daisy loves him and always has and has never loved Tom. Tom is angry and says that isn't true so they all go back to Long Island and on the way back Nick, Jordan, and Tom find out there's been a car accident and Myrtle has been hit and Nick thinks it's Gatsbys car that hit Myrtle.

Later back at the house, Gatsby is waiting to see what will happen between Tom and Daisy, he sends Nick go see and Nick tells Gatsby that Daisy and Tom have reconciled.

GREAT GATSBY CHAPTER 4

1. The truth that Gatsby tells Nick is that he went to school in Oxford and when his parents died, he inherited a lot of money and traveled and hunted. He also is trying to escape a sad memory, and went into the war and tried to die but didn't.

2. I believe that Jordan is telling the truth however, I think Gatsby is lying about going to Oxford and where he was raised.
