The Great Gatsby / F. Scott Fitzgerald (pg 76-85)

Its kind of interesting that Mr. Wolfshiem mentions where Gatsby went to college, and Nick acts like its new information.  This is interesting because Nick had just heard from Gatsby himself that he went to Oggsford; however, Nick acted like this new information to him.  The manner in which Gatsby tries set up a meeting with Daisy is amusing. He is trying to arrange a way to see her without it seeming that he is trying to do so.  This happens today at school by way of a friend asking another friend to speak to someone for them, or find out is they might be interested. Today’s methods are via text, facebook, or email; and as round-a-bout as in this book.  “I turned toward Mr. Gatsby, but he was no longer there” (Fitzgerald 79).   This alludes to Gatsby capability to be cleverly allusive.  I find it interesting that Nick starts to think about asking Jordan to dinner.  This is funny because they were currently discussing a way to get Gatsby and Daisy to meet over tea.
