Gatsby: 81-89

How sweet! Well, every chapter we begin to dive deeper down into who the characters are.  Nick, it seems is the third wheel in this case. Gatsby, a shy, initially timid, but willing man scared to death of meeting this girl again.  And Daisy is an excited, young, joyful individual so happy that she reconnected with this old friend.  I think that it was pretty interesting for Fitzgerald to show Jay Gatsby from two perspectives in The Great Gatsby. On one end, hes a welcoming, powerful young man.  On the other, he is scared and timid when it comes to women.  It was fascinating to see Fitzgerald bring Jay down to a child-like level by asking Nick what to do and showing that he was flustered.  Also, even when he is in this flustered state, he still has that aspect about him that showed he held himself to a high standard.  Multiple times, he brags about his car and house.  He even mentions Nicks lower financial situation.  “...you don’t make much money, do you?(Fitzgerald, 82)” It is all quite interesting!
