The Great Gatsby

         Unfortunately I have not gotten very far into this book, only about one chapter or so but I will share what i have read so far.
         Nick Carraway, a former World War 2 veteran and narrator of this story, begins talking about his family and all the lessons he learned from them when he was young. Nick is describing the story through every detail before the problem happened. This all takes place one year before-hand. He moves from the Midwest to Long Island, New York where he hopes to become a more "well-rounded man". Once he gets there he gets a job as a bond salesmen, which is someone who finds buyers for bonds (a deed by which a person is committed to make payment to another) and then sells those bonds to the buyers.
         Once arriving he also rents out a small house next to a large mansion who is owned by Gatsby. Nick has a cousin named Daisy who is married to an arrogant man, made so by generations of wealth, who lives over in East Egg. Nick himself lives in West Egg.  While he goes and visits them he meets a woman named Jordan, a friend of Daisy's. They sit around and gossip about everyday life and other boring things just as Tom receives a phone call. Daisy tells Nick that his mistress is on the phone. Apparently, Nick has no shame and no intention of covering up his affair with another woman.
        In the meantime, Tom and Daisy are trying to get Jordan and Nick to go out. So she asks questions about them and one big one she stated was inquiring as to whether Nick had an engagement back home. He firmly answered that he did not and that they were simple rumors.
