  • Rumors about Gatsby are still spread around and a reporter comes to ask Gatsby if he has any comment on it.
  • Nick informs the readers that Gatsby's real name is James Gatz, he was born on a North Dakota farm and attended college at St. Olaf's in Minnesota but dropped out after 2 weeks because he hated working as a janitor to pay his tuition. 
  • The next summer he worked at Lake Superior fishing for salmon and digging for clams.
  • One day he saw a yacht and went to warn then about the storm.
  • That man was Dan Cody and he hired Gatsby as his personal assistant, and gave him his name Jay Gatsby.
  • When Dan Cody died he left Gatsby $25,000 but Cody's wife prevented him from getting the money.
  • Nick goes over to Gatsby's house and see Tom having a drink at his house and Gatsby tells Tom that he knows Daisy.
  • Tom and Daisy and Nick go to one of Gatsby's party and  they have a horrible time, Tom says some things about Gatsby and that upsets Daisy. 
  • Gatsby wants Daisy to leave Tom for him but Nick tells him that things can't be like the past but Gatsby says they can.
