Hi, my name is Nick Carraway and I from the midwest. I graduated Yale in 1916. After graduating, I went into the Great War to fulfill my military service. I now live in West Egg next to a wealthy man named Gatsby. Gatsby throws ridiculous parities. Across the water, my cousin, Daisy lives in East Egg. Daisy is married to a man named Tom Buchanan. However, I encountered Tom to having an affair with another woman. Daisy's friend, Jordan Baker seems very attractive to me. We have went out a couple times to Gatsby's parties. She recently informed me that Daisy is secretly in love with Gatsby. Supposedly, they have met before and have feelings for each other. I'm trying to arrange the two and we will see how it comes from there. As for me, I'm an average guy who sales bonds. I am pretty good friends with Gatsby due to the fact that he's my neighbor. As for Gatsby, I found out that his real name is James Gatz. He legally changed his name to Jay Gatsby at the age of 17. When he was younger, Jay did not live in San Francisco, but rather lived with his parents in a farm house in North Dakota. Although his family wasn't wealthy, Jay went to college in Minnesota before dropping out in 2 weeks since he couldn't pay his tuition as a janitor. Jay finally found some luck and met a man named Dan Cody. Cody was a multi-millionaire having been very successful in the Yukon gold rush. When he died, $25,000 was inherited to Cody's mistress, Ella Kaye. Since Gatsby's couldn't claim the money, he vowed to become successful on his own right. Gatsby finally met Daisy again after 5 long years. Gatsby still has the same feelings towards Daisy and I find out that Gatsby wants Daisy to tell Tom that she has never loved him. In the end, I hope that Daisy falls in love with Jay rather than stay with Tom because Tom is already being an un-loyal husband by cheating on her with Myrtle. Even though Gatsby seems very shady, I still believe that Gatsby is the better fit for Daisy.
