Nick's POV

People
-Daisy's really nice, and I like her because she's my cousin. She's pretty and her voice is lovely, and I enjoy being around her because she's so social and fun.I think she puts up a front,though, to hide what she really feels. I think she likes Gatsby a lot, since she was crying and they seemed so in love after he talked to her.

-Gatsby's still a mystery to me. He's always so nice and generous, but I'm suspicious of his business connections, especially with Wolfsheim; that man didn't seem the most savory type. I know he's absolutely infatuated with Daisy; he bought a house just to be near her, after all! I'm still wary, though, because I don't know much of anything about his past yet.

-I am not a fan of Tom. He hurts my cousin and is cheating on her, plus he seems like an idiot to me. The only book he's read is a bunch of white supremist nonsense, and all his opinions are directly from the book and not of his own mind. I suppose the only reason I associate with him is that he's one of the few people around here I know fairly well.

-Jordan...I don't know how I feel about her. I like her a lot, and I think I might maybe love her. I'm intrigued and fascinated by every aspect of her complex personality; I just want to spend more and more time with her. I'm still confused, so I suppose I'll have to wait to figure out how I really feel.


Events

-Gatsby is an incredibly awkward man; he was so nervous when he first came to my house, and expecially when Daisy fist showed up. It was like he didn't know how to act because he'd been imagining that moment in his head for so long, and once it came he became petrified. I'm not sure what he said to her when I left the room, but whatever it was, it clearly had some sort of impact on both of them. They just seem so in love; it's thrilling to watch.

-The meeting with Wolfsheim was...weird. I don't want to get in to any business with the mob or illegal activities; I sincerely hope Gatsby isn't involved, though I suspect he is. I can't believe that Wolfsheim was the man who rigged the World Series!
