Chapter 2 and 3

So in these chapters we basically got more of an insight into Tom's afair with Myrtle and Nick and atom went to the city to meet Myrtle and her husband George and Tom takes Myrtle and Nick into the city and Myrtle buys all of this stuff. George doesn't know anything about the afair. Myrtle and Tom and Nick go to the apartment in the city and have a small party where the Mckees and Catherine who is Myrtle's sister. Gatsby is brought up into the conversation and at the end of the night Myrtle decided to announce the word Daisy to everyone and Tom got angry and punched Myrtle in the face and broke her nose. In Chapter 3, Nick is invited to a party at Gatsby's and meets Jordan there and they start to have a closer relationship. At the party, Nick is anxious to see Gatsby and so Jordan and Nick go off looking for him but they only find a drunk guy in the library. Soon they do (without knowing it at first) met Gatsby and he took Jordan off to talk privately and then later that night, Nick left the party and there was a car crash and that is basically the end of chapter 3. The character I am choosing to focus on for this chapter is Gatsby himself. "Don't mention it, don't give it another thought, old sport." The familiar expression held no more familiarity than the hand which reassuringly brushed my shoulder. "And don't forget were going up in the hydroplane tomorrow morning, at nine o'clock."  This quote shows that Gatsby is kind and nice to people especially Nick and even though everyone sees him as a mysterious man, he is a kind man. Gatsby, although we are just meeting him is going to play a bigger part in the novel although. Gatsby is really nice even though everyone know him and he is a mysterious person. "The only crazy I was was when I married him. I knew right away I made a mistake. He borrowed somebody's best suit to get married in, and never even told me about it, and the man came after it one day when he was out, oh ow that your suit? I said. "This is the first I ever heard about it." But I gave it to him and then I lay down and cried to beat the band all afternoon." I feel like this quote is significant in the novel because it shows that people in this book don't really love each other they just want to be together for the money. Daisy and  Myrtle are alike in this way because they both make statements about how they need to keep a good position in life and have money. Daisy doesn't want to leave atom because then she would lose her position in life and the wealth. Myrtle wants to be with Tom because she never had all of that money and wants to be wealthy.
