chapter V
quote:
“i thought you didn’t if you’ll pardon me-you see, I carry on a little4 business on the side line, you understand. And i thought that if you don’t make very much-You’re selling bonds, aren’t you, old sport?…trying to. Well, this would interest you. It wouldn’t take up much of your time and you might pick up a nice bit of money . It happens to be a rather confidential sort of thing” (82-83)
i decided to use this quote because with all the disscussions we’ve had in class about who these people are i thought this one brought out a secret side of gatsby. He said he has this little side business and i am dying to find out what exacatly it entiles. Also i feel like this chapter shows something about the american character. It shows how even the richest people have their own problems. Gatsby is so nervous and uncomforable meeting up with Daisy. I though at times he wasnt going to go through with his plan with nick.
anyways how nice is gatsbys house? it is described as being so luxourious is it a greenwich back country house, a north street monster?
