The book begins with narrator Nick Carraway. He is from Minnesota and moved to New York in the summer in 1992. He begins by giving us the advice his father told him not to make fun of people in any way. Daisy Buchanan is Nick's cousin; she is married to Tom Buchanan. Jordan Baker is Daisy's close friend. Daisy Baker falls in love with Nick and he loves her back. He goes to New York to study the bond business. Nick lives in West Egg, but his cousin Daisy lives in East Egg, Long Island, New York. East Egg is where the upper class people live, unlike West Egg. Nick visits his cousin Daisy in East Egg for dinner with her husband too. Her husband had been friends with Nick since they taught classes together at Yale. When he goes to their house, he meets Jordan Baker there. Jordan talks to Nick about Daisy and Tom's wedding. Jordan tells him that Tom is having an affair with another woman, Myrtle Wilson. He lives in the Valley of Ashes, a gray industrial landfill between West Egg and New York. Nick goes to New York with Tom and Myrtle for an offensive, rude, and loud apartment party. That apartment is also where Tom and Myrtle share together. Later Tom breaks Myrtle's nose because she teases him about Daisy. This shows us that Tom is an aggressive and short-tempered man. Later in the day Nick receives a surprise invitation to one of Gatsby's famous parties. When he goes there he meets Jordan Baker at the party, then after a while they meet Gatsby. Gatsby is a young man who has an amazing English accent, an amazing smile, and uses the word "old sport" a lot and calls everyone that too. Jordan talks to Nick and explains everything about Gatsby. Gatsby spends more... half of paper... Nick organizes a small funeral for Gatsby and Daisy doesn't attend. He took the blame for her, and died because of her, sacrificed himself for her. She and Tom decide to travel and take off. Nick also breaks up with Jordan, and he goes back to the Midwest because he has had enough of these people, and he hates the people who were close to Gatsby and for the nakedness and emptiness and cold heart of life in the middle of the world. rich people from the east coast. Nick realizes this and reveals that Gatsby's dream of Daisy was ruined by money and lack of loyalty, in a dishonest way. Daisy all she cared about was wealth, she chased men who had a lot of money. Even though Gatsby has the control, influence, and authority to make his dreams a reality, this is what Nicks says makes him a good man. Now both Gatsby's dream and the American dream are over.
