The Great Gatsby Post 7

I can't believe it the guy who said he recognises Nick is none other than Jay Gatsby. How ironic that sit at the table with Gatsby. Anyways Gatsby and Nick realizes that they served in the same division during the war. Gatsby talks and it seems like the more and more he talks the more and more Nick is just fascinated by him. Later on in the party as it is just about to end a butler comes over to Jordan and tells her that Gatsby would like to speak to her. Jordan finally comes out the room and says that Gatsby just told her something "extraordinary." Then Nick just leaves the party saying goodbye to Gatsby who just got a phone call from Philadelphia.

Okay so wow Nick finally meets Gatsby and it turns out that they sort off all ready know each other. I love Fitzgerald portrays Gatsby as a character he shows Gatsby at the party not drinking just sort of keeping to his self analyzing everyone else at the party. I love how he gives Gatsby that sort of mysterious laid back kind of character role but he also seems like a really cool person. I also though really want to know in detail what Gatsby and Jordan talked about that was so "extraordinary." I would really love to figure that out. Other than that though that was a great reading section and I hope it gets even better from here.
