The Great Gatsby Pgs. 61-72

In these pages of The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald finally reveals this great Gatsby. Gatsby and Nick take a ride in Gatsby's car, where he tells a bit about himself. He was educated at Oxford, and spent some time in the Great War. It seems that he is a man of great interest. From the limited information we have been given, we are told that he was essentially a war hero in World War I. I am interested to hear about some of his other exploits. It seems he is a man of great experience, and I wonder what else he has gotten through. I enjoyed this quote "Then came the war, old sport. It was a great relief, and I tried very hard to die, but I seemed to bear an enchanted life" (Fitzgerald, 66). I thought this quote seemed to explain Gatsby well. Going off to fight a war, with bullets rushing through his hair, was a nice break for him. Gatsby also tells Nick there will be something for Miss Baker to tell him. I am curious to find this information and wonder why Gatsby couldn't tell Nick herself.
