The Great Gatsby Pgs. 97-108

In this part of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, a new pice of information on Gatsby is revealed. Jay Gatsby, isn't really Jay Gatsby. Gatsby's real name was James Gatz. Gatsby changed his name at the age of 17. We also learn that Gatsby didn't really inherit all of his money. He inherited $25,000, from a Dan Cody, after 5 years of work. Before that, Gatsby had been working odd jobs, just to keep a roof over his head. This shows to me that Gatsby is truly an intelligent man. He was able to make millions out of nothing. We then go to a party that Gatsby invited Daisy to, and Tom came along to. While at the party Tom says "By God, I may be old-fashioned in my ideas, but women run around too much these days to suit me. They meet all kinds of crazy fish" (Fitzgerald 103). This shows, to me what type of man tom is. Tom looks to control his wife, and keep her doing what he wants. He doesn't believe she should be able to go around by herself, even though he is the one cheating on her. I am still waiting to see what will happen between Gatsby and Daisy. I am curious as to see what will come in the next section.
