The Great Gatsby
Later in the summer, Nick is invited to one of Gatsby's parties. He meets Gatsby there. Gatsby is a young and charming man. Nick learns that Gatsby was in love with Daisy many years ago. Gatsby is still in love with her. He spends many nights looking across the water from his mansion at the green light from Daisy's dock. He is hoping that he can impress Daisy with his rich lifestyle and wild parties. Gatsby grew up very poor and with little chance to move up in the world. This made Gatsby try to get much money to become a different person. If he is rich, he thinks he will be right for Daisy. Gatsby asks Nick to arrange a meeting between Daisy and himself. Nick invites them both over for tea, and they begin to fall in love again. They then start an affair with each other.
