Introduction:

Nick Carraway was born in the Middle West. His father and he went to Yale at New Haven; Nick graduated at 1915 and then he went to fight in the Great War. When he came back he couldn't settle 

down so he went to New York (1922, spring) (his father payed his expenses).

His house was on a Long Island and he had a neightbough called 'Gatsby'.

Chapter 1: Tom and Daisy

Daisy is Nick's cousin. She phoned and invited him to go to her house in East Egg. Nick went there and meet Tom Buchanan (Daisy's husband) and Miss Baker (Jordan Baker). He discovered that Tom had another woman in New York (Nick didn't come to the wedding) and that Jordan (golf player) is an alone nice girl. When he arrived to his home he saw Gatsby in the outside looking at a green light.

Chapter 2: Myrtle Wilson

Tom and Nick went to meet Myrtle, the Tom's mistress, in the garage of her husband George Wilson. They decided to meet at New York so Tom and Nick took the train. There Myrtle wanted to buy a dog (Tom payed for it) and all they went to an apartment where they spent the night with the Knees (neightbourghst) and Myrtle's sister (Catherine). Myrtle had changed their clothes and personality before the people came.

At the end of the night she started to annoy Tom so he hit her and her nose bled. Later Tom left the apartment.

Chapter 3: I meet Gatsby

Nick went to a Gatsby's party (he organised a lot each summer). In some parties he wasn't present but in this one he met Nick and offered him to go the next day, at nine o'clock, to do old sport with a motorboat. This night Nick also saw Jordan, who discovered a Gatsby's secret.

Chapter 4: I have a lunch with Gatsby

There was a lot of rumours about Gatsby (he was a killer, a German spy, a bootleger,...) but any of them seemed the truth. Gatsby, one day, stood at Nick's door with his yellow and silver car inviting him to have lunch together. He told his live to Nick; he was son of a rich dead family in San Francisco, then he went to Oxford where he was educated. He travelled around Europe and spent lots of money to forget something bad; also he was in the War and won some medals.

At the café Nick met Mr Meyer Wolfsheim a Gastby's friend (he was well-known in Broadway because he was a criminal).

Later Nick saw Tom and talked to him (he was angry due to Nick didn't answer Daisy calls), but Gatsby had already left.

Chapter 5: Daisy and Gatsby: Start of the dream

Jordan (bridesmaid in Tom's wedding) told Nick that Daisy hangued out with Gatsby five years before. She used to hang out with a lot of officers but she fell in love with him. Unfortunetly he had to leave and she got married with Tom. Before the wedding day Jordan found Daisy completely drunk with a letter in her hand and the collar's Tom on the floor. She and Daisy's mother maid took her into a cold bath; the next day she seemed happy so the wedding went on and they went on their honeymoon. A week later Tom and a girl crashed the car and the story got into the papers.

In April Daisy had a child (girl).

Gatsby celebrated all these parties because he had hope to see her again (he stood every night looking that green light because he could see Daisy's house); here is the favour he want from Nick, he had to invite Daisy to drink tea.

Chapter 6: Daisy comes to tea

Daisy came to drink the tea and surprisingly she met Jay Gatsby. They spent all the afternoon together, laugthing a lot and speaking too. In Gatsby's desk there was a photo about Mr Dan Cody who was like a Jay's father and used to be his best friend too. (he died). Nick wanted to ask more but they decided to play the piano.

Chapter 7: Gatsby's last party

People continue talking rumours about Gatsby. At the last party Tom and Daisy came and she spent all night dancing and talking to Jay. Tom didn't care owing to he found another girl, but when they were waiting for the car he started wondering about the secrets that Jay could hide. At the end Nick talked to Jay, and he said that he wanted to marry Daisy, to live happy with her; Gatsby wanted Daisy to divorce Tom.

Chapter 8: The hottest day of the summer

After the Gatsby's parties had ended, he sent his servants away because Daisy visited him every afternoon. One day they all went to Daisy's house to have dinner and Tom realised that his wife was in love with other man. They decided to go out with the cars and Tom stopped at Wilson's garage to buy some gas. There George told him that they will leave the place, so Tom was losing his wife and mistress as the same time. They went to a hotel to have a drink but there they had an argument and Daisy said to Tom that she didn't love him in these moment, she was in love with Jay; but this didn't mean that she did never love Tom. He said bad things about Gatsby (he had killed a man) so Daisy seemed sad.

(It was Nick's 38 birthday)

Chapter 9: Death in the evening

Myrtle died in a car accident. Her husband locked her in the bathdroom for hours when he realised that she had a lover. When she got out of there she stood in the middle of the road and a yellow car didn't stop at time, Daisy was driving and she killed Wilson's wife.

Jay appeared in Tom's house to saw if everything was okay. Nick took a taxi and went home.

Chapter 10: The end of a dream

Gatsby went home when he was completely sure that Daisy didn't need anything. The next morning Nick recommended him to go away but Jay didn't wanted it.

Wilson went to Jay's house and shot him and later shot himself. Nick tryed to contact Mr and Mrs Buchanan but they left the house without leaving any adress; he wrote a letter to Meyer but he answer that he couldn't go to the funeral or visit the house.

The police found out that his real name was James Gatz and that he was son of a poor farmer's family; he got later a job in Cody's yacht. Only the father (Henry Gatz), the fat man with glasses that was in the library and Nick went to the funeral.

Chapter 11: I go back to the West

Before Nick went to the West he had seen Tom for the last time. He discovered that Tom said to Wilson who was the owner of the yellow car, but also found out that Tom didn't know that was Daisy who drove the car.
