Why I, revealed to Nick what Gatsby told me the night of that party


I felt strongly that, if I was going to tell anyone about what Gatsby told me, then it would have been Nick. Besides, it involves him anyway. Gatsby wanted him to invite Daisy to his house so that way Daisy will be forced to meet with him. I told him the story of when Daisy and I were younger. I wanted him to see the whole story of all of us, meaning Daisy and Gatsby and even myself.  I guess you could say that it was the skeptic in me, but I never though that this little plan would work out. To me, it seemed that Gatsby was jumping the gun and getting ahead of himself. I wanted to see where this whole thing would go, so that's why I forewarned Nick of Gatsby's request. 

What I was feeling, when Gatsby asked to meet with me at his party



I was nervous and apprehensive. I didn't, for the life of me, know what he wanted. I couldn't even begin to guess! I was quite shocked when it happened. I remember looking towards Nick and thinking, "What on earth could Mr. Gatsby want?." I was almost scared, but I wanted to remain composed. I didn't want to mess this chance up. I mean, really how often would this happen? I felt rather strange being singled out like this. I mean here I was being singled out by the very man who threw these enormous parties. Not that I was shy to attention. I was so curious as to what he wanted to tell me, it was eating away at me. This was going to be something big, and I could feel it. 

What I was thinking, when I first met Nick Caraway


I was curious, although I didn't show it. I wanted to observe from a distance. He seemed like a decent guy, too clever to get close to though. He would make a great friend. He seems a bit on the shyer side and quite out of the loop. When we were at dinner and Daisy and Tom went inside for a moment, I explained to him about Tom's mistress. He seem a tad shocked. He intrigues me, but not in a romantic way. He's almost like all the other guy I mess with…..almost.
