Chapter 5

Nick comes home from a date with Jordan and Gatsby's mansion is lit up. Every light in the house was on. When Nick started heading towards his house, Gatsby appeared and invited him over for a swim in the pool. This was an act to get Nick to agree to have to tea party for him and Daisy. A couple days days go by and during those days Gatsby sent someone to cut Nick's grass and offers Nick a job for a day or two to make some extra money. On the day of the get-together, it rains. Gatsby shows up at Nick's extremely nervous. When Daisy arrives, Nick goes out to help her in the door, but when he gets Daisy to the living room, Gatsby is gone. A moment later, there is a knock on the door and Gatsby enters. The meeting is strange at first, but after a half hour Daisy and Gatsby are laughing and having a good time. Gatsby invites Daisy and Nick over to his house where he shows Daisy all of his possessions. Daisy and Gstsby forget Nick is in the room. Nick decides that is a good time to leave them alone.

It seems as if Gatsby has high expectations for Daisy. What would happen if she isn't everything he expects? Would he move on after all this time?
