Chapter 5

In chapter five Gatsby is trying to see Daisy and get together with her at Nick's house and Nick agrees to invite Daisy over.  So Gatsby is overly excited to see Daisy which I think is funny because he has been waiting for about five years just for this one moment with Daisy and I think he is a little bit over excited to see her.  When he does meet her at Nick's house he kind of just goes in shock and they just stare at each other.  It is just really awkward because they were once in love and now they are seeing each other for the first time since being in love. While it is raining and bad weather out it is really awkward between Gatsby and Daisy and I think Fitzgerald did that on purpose cause when Gatsby and Daisy start talking and being friendly with each other the weather changes back to being sunny and really nice.  When Gatsby starts showing Daisy all of his riches she starts crying because she is so happy and sad.  I think shes happy because the man she loves now has more then he's ever had.  And I think she is sad because she wish she would of stayed with Gatsby rather than marry Tom.  The funny thing with Nick in this chapter is that he just stands off to the side the whole time Gatsby and Daisy are catching up with their lives.  By the end of the chapter Gatsby is really happy and excited because he made Daisy happy and he thinks he might have a chance of getting her back.  I also feel that the chapter ends with Daisy having mixed feelings about Tom and Gatsby but we will find out what happens when we get farther in the book.
