Blast from the past?

with no power it was easy to make time to read and get a little ahead in the reading. In chapter 6 i did not understand why was happening in the beginning until i got about half way through the chapter. It was then that i realized i was finding out about Gatsby's past. This part is really confusing so I'm going to focus in on the last page or two of the chapter. In this closing dialog of Gatsby and Nick we find out Gatsby is not living in the present. He is stuck in the past where he fell in love with Daisy and is trying to get her to be like that again. "Can't repeat the past? he cried incredulously. why of source you can!" (page 111) This quote really sums up my point of Gatsby not living in the now. He has this ideal of Daisy from five years ago and it is not the same daisy as he sees now. I predict he is going to do something extreme in the next few chapters to try and get Daisy to go back to the Daisy he fell in love with. 

A couple other events i want to touch on include Tom. Tom shows some signs of jealousy when he finds out Gatsby knows Daisy and he mentions he wants to find out where his money came from and who he is. This kind of makes me really think about my old prediction where Tom is going to get upset at Gatsby and try to destroy him. On another note it is kind of weird to see Tom jealous and upset at Daisy for knowing a man whom he does not know she had relations with yet he is seeing a mistress? Tom seem to be a bully when things are going his way he's happy but when something he does not like happens he instantly becomes a monster that wants to destroy whatever makes him angry. Thats really all i have to say for now, and i can not wait to see if my prediction keeps following the path i think it will.
