The first thing I would like to point out is the point of view it is put in; first person. I actually really like it this way because it makes things feel personal. Nick, the main character/narrator, to me, seems very intellectual according to the language and vocabulary he uses. Also, he states that he graduated from New Haven in 1915 (pg. 5). I would agree with Nick that Daisy is an exceptionally exciting person as he also stated (pg. 11-12). As for Jordan Baker, Nick seems to really think she's attractive (pg. 14). In my opinion, she's actually kind of cocky and careless from the way she acts and the things she says (pg. 19-20). I think Daisy's husband, Tom, is pretty decent. It's pretty funny how they hint at Nick that he should hook up with Jordan (pg.22-23). As for the the beginning of the book overall, I think it wasn't very exciting yet. The book so far is kind of slow paced and has nothing important happening yet. I hope it gets more thrilling. I guess something important that happened was when Tom introduced the book "The Rise of the Colored Empires" which gives a hint on what the book is about. What's your opinion on these chapters? What'd you think about these people and what do you think will happen in the the future? What do you think this book actually is about? I still can't really predict what's going to happen and what this book is about yet.
