Chapter 5

At the beginning of the chapter, Nick comes home but then realizes the the Gatsby's house is really lit up. He is at first afraid that it is on fire. Gatsby scares him as he walks onto Nicks lawn as he is walking to his door. This is when Gatsby asks Nick if he wants to go to Coney Island and Nick says that it is too late. He then asks Nick if he wants to go swimming, Nick says no. I think Gatsby is just trying to get himself and Nick alone doing something for a while so that he can convince Nick to go through with his plan to get Daisy to meet up with him at the party. He goes through with the plan but during the get together it starts to rain and then Gatsby becomes very nervous. Nick invites Daisy over and it seems to be awkward but when Nick comes back after leaving them alone they are laughing and having fun. Will Daisy and Gatsby get back together? Will Daisy cheat on Tom?
