Chapter 7

This chapter begins with Gatsby calling off all of his parties in order to better please Daisy. He even fires his servents so that gossip doesn't continue to spread. Nick drives over to the Bucannans for lunch and Gatsby and Jordan are there as well along with Daisy and Tom. Tom now knows that Daisy and Gatsby are in love. They then all go to New York together and go to a hotel to freshen up since it is so hot. Tom and Gatsby then argue about who is in love and who is not in love and keep arguing for a good while. They then drive back and on the way back they discover a dead body laying on the road. It turns out that it is Myrtle, Tom's girlfriend. She has been killed in a hit and run accident. When they go back to the Buccanans Nick finds Gatsby spying outside the house and Gatsby tells Nick that it was Daisy who accidentially hit Myrlte.
