The Great Gatsby Ch.1-5

The first five chapters of The Great Gatsby show major changes in relationships. When the story first starts off, Nick implies that he does not know Gatsby at all by saying that the mansion next door was "inhabited by a gentleman of that name." As the book goes on, Nick is able to attend a party of Gatsby's, even though Gatsby was not the one who invited him. Later on in the story, Gatsby and Nick become close enough friends where Gatsby begins telling Nick more about his life. I think that the way Nick and Gatsby's relationship changes is a sharp contrast to that of Daisy and Gatsby. However, Daisy and Gatsby were completely consumed with one another from the beginning but, as time went on, they grew apart due to Gatsby going off to war. I think that this contrast between the two different relationships will continue to play out as the book goes on and will make everything interesting.
