The Great Gatsby chapter 3 Summary
In Chapter, Nick, the person who is narrating the story is able to meet Gatsby for the first time. He is invited to one of his lavish weekend parties in his mansion.
The weekend parties are infamous for being lavish and opulent events. A catering company is hired every weekend to provide seemingly unlimited food and alcohol (during the time when alcohol was banned in the US)
Gatsby himself is shown as a confident man who is eat ease with the busy parties. He doesn't know most people there but also does not mind their presence.
There are also a high number of English citizens at his parties, who are mostly looking to make connections among the rich and famous in United States.
It takes more than 2 Chapters to eventually build up to the first image of 'Great' Gatsby but his presence is an anticlimax as we observe a rich and powerful man who is also very down to earth.
In the chapter, Nick also starts dating a woman who he first meets at the party.
Answer:
I think that the correct answer is an influenza epidemic that was transmitted between humans by contact.
1. "The Great Gatsby" is set during 1922 in West and East Egg, which are two (fictional) towns on Long Island. As such, Fitzgerald depicts a lavish life during the decade of the Roaring 20s, shown by Gatsby's extravagant parties.
2. The narrator of the story is Nick Carraway, who moves into West Egg, just next door to Mr. Gatsby. Carraway is from the Midwest, attended Yale, and is a war veteran. He becomes friends with Gatsby, and initially arranges a meeting between Gatsby and Daisy.
3. Before marrying her husband (Tom), Daisy Buchanan had a relationship with Gatsby. She is also Carraway's second cousin. Daisy is described as a "flapper," which is a young woman specifically from the Roaring 20s, regarded as fashionable and not overly concerned with conventional behavior (aka, acting like a "lady.").
The definition of sloth would be laziness, unwillingness to work or act.
Two context clues are the word "idleness" and the phrase "doing of nothing". Idleness may mean boredom, but also dullness. Doing of nothing clearly supports the notion of not working, not acting.
