After reading "Crack-Up" I alluded a lot of Fitzgerald's lifestyle and the deterioration he feels internally. Fitzgerald himself grew up living amongst the rich, but seeing as he wasn't of the same status, he felt like an outsider. He felt as if the rich inhabited a different world this can be seen in Gatsby. Fitzgerald incorporated the uppity, rich, lifestyle into his book and even modelled the two eggs after this place on Long Island (I found out through research). I also discovered while he was busy working on Gatsby, his wife, had an affair with a French aviator. Fitzgerald then incorporated the elements of that particular affair into the novel which came to be Tom and Daisy. As he refers to in "Crack- Up" Fitzgeralds' hobbies and favourite pastimes of attending parties and drinking are incorporated into Gatsby, as you can see throughout these particular chapters.
In chapter 3, Nick describes the lavish lifestyle and the incredible parties thrown at his neighbors mansion. Nick was clearly flattered to be personally invited to this party in particular. Nick and Jordan come upon a man with "owl-eyed spectacles" who they then spend time with, glancing through Gatsby's library. At around midnight, Nick meets a man who appears to be his age and served in the same division as him during the war. Before long he finds that the enigmatic man is Jay Gatsby. Still in shock, Gatsby leaves and shortly after Nick finds himself alone without Jordan, who was invited to speak to Gatsby. As husbands and wives argue about whether they should leave or not, Gatsby says goodbye to Nick. While walking home he finds "Owl Eyes" in the ditch with his car crashed. After doing his best to help "Owl Eyes," he returns home. Nick then describes that he did not solely just attend parties during that summer, but he also worked in New York. After Tom and Daisy's urging, he becomes romantically involved with Jordan Baker (I have concluded his homosexuality). Although he dislikes her dishonesty (judgment) , he puts it aside despite his belief that he himself is "one of the fewest honest people that he has ever known." Which is pretty ironic because he doesn't seem to be honest, infact he keeps most of his opinions to himself.
Jay Gatsby says "....this party had preserved a dignified homogeneity and assumed to itself the function of representing the staid nobility of the country-side - East Egg condescending to West Egg, and carefully on guard against its spectroscopic gayety" I found this quote to be concerned with the idea that Fitzgerald as well as Gatsby, were able to attain a great amount of wealth but it cannot account to the education or social behaviors they have.
Throughout chapter 4, Gatsby takes Nick out to lunch. He keeps mentioning that Jordan Baker must tell Nick something very important, a favour, while Nick and Jordan are at tea soon after. After an interesting lunch of meeting Gatsby’s friends, business partners, and a slightly awkward introduction between Tom and Gatsby, Nick takes Jordan out for tea. While on the tea date, Jordan reveals that Gatsby has been in love with Daisy his whole life and the favour Gatsby has asked of Nick is to invite Daisy over for tea so Gatsby and her can re-associate. Daisy can be portrayed as a pure being because of her name and symbolic impression I perceived that was Daisy is seen as innocent on the outside but on the inside she is actually well... "I aint sayin she a gold digger." Jay does many things to impress or see Daisy and hope that she will notice him. For example, the extreme parties Gatsby throws are all so Daisy will hopefully show up and Gatsby can be reunited with his one true love.
