Chapter+6-Per+2

Summary: This chapter is where Nick reveals to the reader that Gatsby was born in North Dakota to a poor farmer. He changes his name to Jay Gatsby from James Gatz. He dropped out of college and then met Dan Cody, a millionaire, and became his personal assistant. Gatsby vowed to become a success. Animosity develops between Tom and Gatsby.

Characters: Gatsby- his past is revealed, Sloanes: "old money" snobby East Egg couple, Tom: looks down on Gatsby, Daisy: Gatsby tells her to tell Tom she doesn't love her and Nick tells Gatsby not to expect much of Daisy.

Personal Reaction: It seems as if Daisy is a "gold-digger" because she promised Gatsby she would wait but married Tom (whose rich) and now says she has feelings for Gatsby because now he has money.
