After reading the first chapter of The Great Gatsby I was left in somewhat confusion. All together it was a pretty good beginning; I just hope it gets better as the book goes on. We are introduced to Nick Carraway. He moved to the “west egg” of New York. In this chapter he goes to visit old but not very known friends. They are Tom and Daisy Buchanan. It was there we learn that Tom is cheating on his wife. We also learn that they have a daughter but she is never seen. That leaves you with a bit confusion of what the lifestyle is really like when no one is around. After Nick leaves he goes home and that is when we are introduced the first time to Mr. Gatsby. He appears to be trembling and then he disappears into the darkness. That left me with a lot of suspense and eager to read on. Many questions were left after reading this chapter. Like why was he trembling? Also, I am eager to find out what is going to happen with Tom and his affair.
