The Great Gatsby
Journal
Chapter one
The first chapter of this book begins with Nick Carraway introducing himself. He talks about his judgment of people and what his father taught him. He then talks a little about the main character of the story, Gatsby. He describes Gatsby as a “gorgeous’ person.
Nick then talks about his home in West Egg, New York. West Egg is for people who just became rich and need to get used to it while East Egg is filled with people who have been rich and have rich attitudes. We find out that Gatsby lives next door to Nick in West Egg.
Nick decides to take a trip to East Egg and visit his cousin, Daisy Buchanan, and her husband, Tom, whom Nick went to Yale with. They are very sophisticated people and have a three-year-old daughter. Daisy’s friend, Jordan Baker is visiting with the Buchanans. While they are eating dinner, Tom gets a phone call from a woman in New York. When Daisy follows Tom inside, Jordan tells Nick that the woman is Tom’s girlfreind. After Jordan goes to bed, Tom and Daisy try to convince Nick to ask her out. Nick goes home and sees Gatsby for the first time.
Cam, your summary is really great for Chapter 1. It's simple, but it explains a lot of the important parts of the Chapter that people might have forgotten towards the end of the book. Your picture reminds me of you for some odd reason, I don't know why. Anyway, Great Job, buddy!
