Chapter 5 The Awkward Get together

As i got through reading chapter five i was even more confused about Mr. Gatsby then i was before even reading the book. Gatsby seemed to me to be this proper gentleman that knows how to handle any situation, but then comes the meeting with daisy and things got a little weird. He started acting like a high school boy around his crush being very shy and even tried to back out of the whole meeting that he planned in the first place.  I think Gatsby was feeling very nervous as was Daisy. Daisy was probably also feeling very surprised as she was not expecting Gatsby to be there. The fact that when she got there she asked Nick if he was in love with her is a little weird to me. Nick was a little strange to seeing as he left the get together and went out under his tree for half an hour. I really wanted to know what he could be doing for half an hour under a tree. However, as the get together continued and Gatsby showed Daisy his mansion i feel like they both got more comfortable and a little more affectionate. I still do not know what happened at the end when nick left them alone but i can predict that it is similar to what Tom and Daisy have going on. I predict now that Gatsby and Daisy are reacquainted they are going to be seeing a lot more of each other. I also think that Tom will find out and be furious and Daisy will bring up the mistress and this will make Tom very angry and violent. I have no facts to back this up this is just a gut feeling prediction.

To expand on this, i believe that Gatsby has a lot more information about his character given to us in this chapter. I do however believe that it also makes him even more mysterious. Daisy and him seem to really kick it off after an awkward hour or so and i do not fully understand their relationship yet. i stand by my prediction. Gatsby grows more and more interesting and mysterious and we still do not know where his fortune comes from.
