The Great Gatsby: Chapter 4!

So this was by far my favorite chapter that I've read so far. I liked how Gatsby told Nick about his life just so Nicked wouldn't believe the stories he's been hearing. My favorite part about this chapter was when I found out that Gatsby bought his house in the location he did because Daisy is just right across the bay. I felt like he really has a passion for this girl and he's being waiting a long time to see her again. All the parties he threw was really just him trying to get her to come over and thats just really sad but at the same time its sweet. At first i didn't understand why he was taking Nick to lunch but its because Nick was the first person that actually knows Daisy and Gatsby feels like Nick could bring them together. This chapter just made me a lot more excited to read the rest of the novel. One of the reasons being I don't think people will be dying in this book unlike the others we've read. One thing that confused me was the car crash Gatsby was in that took the wheel off the front of his car. Is it the same car crash as the previous chapter? If so then it kind of makes sense but not really. Lastly, another thing i liked about this chapter was the Nick and Jordan are getting closer and that makes me happy because he said that he didn't have a girl like Tom or Gatsby.
