SummaryGatsby’s party takes place (a very vivid description) Nick attends Gatsby’s party, where he meets Jordan Baker and talks to herNick goes into the library, where he meets an owl-eyed manNick meets Gatsby for the first time (and they talk about WW1)

Gatsby leaves to answer a phone call, and calls for Jordan (to talk to her alone)Jordan comes back from the chat with Gatsby; she taunts Nick about the "tantalizing" news without revealing any of it.Nick sees that a coupe leaving the driveway has hit a wall and lost a wheel. The driver was supposedly the owl-eyed man

The owl-eyed man is not the driver, some one else is.Nick falls into his work-eat-sleep routine and Jordan doesn’t pop up again until mid-summer, when they start hanging out together.Nick insists that he isn’t in love with Jordan, just curious.

Jordan lies about leaving the top down in a borrowed convertible, and it jogs Nick’s memory about that "story" he had been trying to remember regarding Jordan: she may have cheated in a professional golf tournament once. Nick tells her to be careful, but Jordan says no, it’s fine, as long as other people are careful drivers. She says she hopes that she never meets a person as careless as herself. "I hate careless people," she tells Nick. "That’s why I like you."

With that conversation, Nick realizes he needs to break things off with a certain girl back in Chicago.Nick then says everyone suspects himself of one of the cardinal virtues – and he is one of the few honest people he has ever known.

JordanCareless-Quote: ‘Nick tells her to be careful, but Jordan says no, it’s fine, as long as other people are careful drivers.

"That’s why I like you.”’Dishonest-Quote: ‘Jordan lies about leaving the top down in a borrowed convertible’ and she may have cheated in a professional golf tournament once

Playful- she taunts Nick about the news she heard from Gatsby and doesn’t reveal any of the news.

NickArrogant- he says that he is one of the few honest people he has ever known.Observer- Nick watches a woman with red hair singing along to a piano and weeping black mascara tears. He also listens more than he takes part in conversations or events.

GatsbyDesperate- he throws large and luxurious parties every weekend in hopes that Daisy will attend, spending large amounts of money for every party.Quiet/Shy- not many people who attended the party actually know who he is, have never talked to him before or know his face.

Easy to talk to- Nick meets Gatsby who tells him "you look familiar”, and they chat about having both been in the war (WWI).

ThemesLuxury- the whole party is very elaborate and luxurious (even a complete orchestra). The parties are thrown most nights throughout the summer. The party also had fancy, bright lights and colorful dresses.Gatsby has a huge library, which in all the books are real, pages and all.He has a butler and a piano.

‘Your own thoughts’The whole scene was unnecessarily extravagant and a lot of money was wasted for people that Gatsby doesn’t even know. Considering that the party was on most nights during the summer, a massive amount of food and drinks had to be provided.Most of the people who attended the party weren’t even invited, they just invited themselves.

Jordan was also superficial and
