This chapter was rather unique because we actually meet this elusive Gatsby. We see in the first part of chapter three that Gatsby has an almost superstitious aspect about him. Gatsby is portrayed as an Oxford man, a killer, and a German spy. However, we realize after, Nick has met Gatsby and they served near each other in the war! Nick was rather surprised by this and I think that he was surprised due to the amount of wealth this former soldier now has! "We talked for a moment about some wet, gray little villages in France. (Fitzgerald, 47)"
This book is amazing with the visuals. I truly am not sure as to why it is so easy for me to visualize what is going on in this novel. In writing The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald really portrays the life that the wealthy lived back in the roaring 20's. We hear of swing dancing, boos, old luxury cars, and much more. We begin to be able to piece together what exactly that time period was like without exactly having an exact image of it.
