The Great Gatsby - Chapter 1 - 4

 The most appealing character to me in the novel thus far would have to be Gatsby. There's so much more to him than meets the eye and you can't seem to believe certain things about him. He talks to Nick about his military life which seems to be a little bit fake. This however, leads me to wanting to find more about Gatsby.

Gatsby is connected with light in chapter one. This may symbolize goodness within him as his friend talks about Gatsby being a good person who you would want to show to your mother or sister.

The Great Gatsby Characters Chapter 1

Nick, Daisy, Tom and Jordan.


Nick - Nick is narrator of the story. He fought in WWI and is poor compared to his rich parents. He seems very laid back uses sarcasm often.
Daisy - Nick's cousin twice removed seems to be in dramatic moods since her husband, Tom is cheating on her.
Tom - is a white supremacist who has a big build and is cheating on Daisy with a girl from New York.
Jordan - is a tennis player who is setup with Nick

The book so far is uninteresting and provides a ton of detail. White so far seems to be a symbolism as supremacy is brought up.

The Great Gatsby

I anticipate that there would be a secret smuggling of alcohol relating to the book and how the main character is involved in it.

I researched a ton on the prohibition of alocohol and how it made crimes worse and such things.
