Chapter 6

More rumors are being spread about Gatsby. Someone even comes to his house to try and get an interview. Nick starts talking about Gatsby's past as it really occurred. Gatsby name was James Gatz, he was born on a farm. He went to college at St. Olafs, he dropped because he had to do janitor work to pay for his schooling and was embarrassed. He got a job fishing for salmon and clams. One day when there was about to be a storm Gatz saw a yatch owned by a wealthy man named Dan Cody. Gatz rowed over to the yatch to warn Cody of the horrible storm. In return Cody took Gatz in as his personal assistant and gave him the name Gatsby. Gatsby enjoyed being wealthy. When Cody died he left Gatsby 25,000 dollars but he did not get it because Cody's lady wouldn't let him have the money. So Gatsby spent his life trying to become rich. One day Nick stops by Gatsby's house and Tom is there along with Mr. and Mrs. Solane. Gatsby gets nervous and tells them that he knows Daisy. Tom does not like this, he thinks that women should not go out alone. Gatsby has another party and Tom and Daisy both come. Tom does not really like parties but comes to keep an eye on Daisy.Nick does not have a very good time at the party and neither does Daisy. Gatsby wants Daisy to leave Tom and be with him. He thinks that he can get anything with all the money he has.
Gatsby dream has always been to be rich and live a glamorus lifestyle. he was born into a poor family and i think he was kind of ashamed about it.
