In this weeks reading of "The Great Gatsby", Jay Gatsby is warming up to Nick Caraway. First, he invites Nick to his party. Which this is unusual because people don't usually get personal invitations. After the party Gatsby wants to stay in touch with Nick. So a couple days later Nick wakes up to a loud car sound, and Jay Gatsby pulls up and asks him to hang out with him for the day. At this part the author does a really good job describing what the car looks and what is going on. While this was going on Gatsby is trying to become friends with Nick because he is trying to get Nick to invite Daisy over so he can talk to daisy again. Everything is starting to make sense of why Gatsby is having all of those parties and why he is trying to become friends with Nick. Gatsby is trying to get to know Nick because he knows that Daisy is his cousin. After reading a little more I liked how the author described in great detail what Gatsby did to set up for Daisy to meet her again. Gatsby sent over his servants to mow Nick's grass and trim the bushes. He also has tons of flowers in his house waiting for daisy. This showed how nervous he was to see Daisy once again, he wanted everything to be perfect for her.
