The Great Gatsby Chapter 7

This chapter was so long. It was so much longer than any of the other chapters. This chapter had a lot going on in it. First, there was Daisy, Tom, Jordan, Nick, and Gatsby all hanging out and eating at the Buchanan's. Then, they decide that they want to go to town, meaning New York, and in town, they rent out a room in which a huge inevitable argument occurs. So then Daisy and Gatsby head back to East and West Egg. Shortly followed by Tom, Jordan, and Nick, but they stop at Wilson's garage to find out that Myrtle was killed. When they get home, they call a taxi for Nick to go home. On second thought, not too little occurred but not a ton of stuff occurred. I think that it is a good thing that everybody is finding out about this couple's two different affairs. Although, something that suddenly does make a lot more sense is who the person that was being deployed over seas to go fight in the war that Daisy packed up her bags to go say good bye to was Gatsby. I still think that Gatsby just wanted to be friendly to Nick since he was so poor. Then, Gatsby found out that Nick was cousins with Daisy, his childhood love. I am curious as to why Tom cares so much about where his wife is going alone. I mean seriously, he does the exact same thing. I wonder what will happen when George Wilson finds out that Tom is the person that his wife has been cheating on him with.
