Gatsby Ch1

In the first chapter of 'The Great Gatsby' was more of an introduction to Nick's life and how he met Gatsby and how his cousin, Daisy, makes Gatsby fall for her. He started his trip alone, picked up a friend, then the friend left, had a dog, the dog ran away, and was on his own again. Then the story changes to where Nick is now with his cousin, Daisy, and her husband, Tom. Miss Baker, a friend of Daisy, is with them also. Who is Miss. Baker and why is she so important to the story? Tom is ranting to everyone how the white race should watch out or the other races would take control. Being that the setting is in the 1920s, racism is still around, but it's not the main point of the chapter. The mood changes when Tom receives a phone call from his rumored lover, Daisy is furious and follows. Nick and Baker is alone while the couple is possibly arguing. After the few minutes, Tom returns, but leaves and Baker went to sleep for her tournament tomorrow. Nick and Daisy talk for a while and then Tom returns to take Nick on a ride.
