The Great Gasby: Chapter 1

             As mentioned in chapter one, Nick is a sarcastic guy. He is basically poor and a respectable person. Also he was thought to be engaged and was in WW1.

"It's a triumph. What thoroughness! What realism! Knew when to stop, too--didn't cut the pages. But what do you want? What do you expect?"

            Daisy has a 3 year old daughter. She wants her to be a fool for some reason. Her themes are white and light. Her husband is cheating.

"I hope she'll be a fool--that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool... You see, I think everything's terrible anyhow... And I know. I've been everywhere and seen everything and done everything."

          Tom is the cheating husband. He has some girl in New York. His wife is daisy. He is very racist and Buff.

"would drift on forever seeking, a little wistfully, for the dramatic turbulence of some irrecoverable football game."

         Jordan is Daisy's friend, she is a golfer. Tells Nick about the affair and is getting set up with him.

"The younger of the two was a stranger to me. She was extended full length at her end of the divan, completely motionless and her chin raised a little as if she were balancing something on it which was quite likely to fall."

        What I can already tell about the characters in the novel is that they are stuck up and think highly of themselves. Could also be a racist factor there too. The first few chapters were all about info on learning the characters so it was a lot to take in all at once, I'm hoping the story line gets better as it goes on. I can't really say how I feel about the writing style yet, but he is good at getting a lot of info in one chapter. The colors/themes that have been mention are white and light, which were associated with Daisy.
