The Great Gatsby: Chapter 1

In the first chapter of this story the character that are introduced to us are Nick, Tom and Daisy Buchanan and Jordan Baker. There is a mention of a Mr. Gatsby. Daisy is a cousin of Nick who just came back from the east and Tom is Daisy's husband and Nick knew him from college. Jordan Baker is a famous for somethin but i havent figuerd it out yet. It seems to me that Nick might have some attraction for Miss Baker. The setting two islands that are shaped like eggs as told by Nick. At the beginning Nick tells about his life and how he fought in the war and now hes back to stay. The setting takes a turn and Nick goes to Tom and Daisys house for dinner. This is where Nick meets Jordan. Tom and Daisy seem to have problems because Jordan mentions to Nick that Tom has another woman in New York. Nick seems more laid back and it seems like he couldnt care about gossip.

The beginning seems some what boring but I am interested to see if Nick falls for Jordan because he seems to not be that well interested in a relationship. I also am interested to see how Tom and Daisys relationship develops or if it falls. I admit I love romantic books and this seems to be like it could have some romance and i cant wait to see how the book ends.
