I’d seen it. Everybody had seen it. It was a rich cream color, bright with nickel, swollen here and there in its monstrous length with triumphant hat-boxes and supper-boxes and tool-boxes, and terraced with a labyrinth of wind-shields that mirrored a dozen suns. Sitting down behind many layers of glass in a sort of green leather conservatory, we started to town.

3. Gatsby’s car is gold, silver, and green.  The three colors of money. The car is as extravagent and eccentric as Gatsby is. It makes a statement and Gatsby wants everybody to it, that he has money that’s why he is so adament about persenting it to Nick.

I was flattered that she wanted to speak to me, because of all the older girls I admired her most. She asked me if I was going to the Red Cross and make bandages. I was. Well, then, would I tell them that she couldn’t come that day?

Charecter development: Gatsby is definately hiding something as a lot of his facts don’t match up such as saying that San Fransico is in the mid west. We also find out that there is much more reason to what Gatsby is doing and it appears as if it may all be for Daisy. Something happened together in there past that brought them together then tore them apart and Gatsby wants to make ammends. It just seems strange that he has hidden it from Daisy and society for so long.
