Chapter 3

      In chapter three there is much talk about Gatsby. Many of the characters are gossiping about his past and who he really is. A girl says, "Somebody told me they thought he killed a man once". Another girl named Lucille claims that he was "a German spy during the war". Another girl than chimes in saying, "It couldn't be that because he fought for America during the war. I think Gatsby is a very shady character with a secret he doesn't  want anybody to know about. Nick is very curious about Gatsby. After hearing this, He and his friend Jordan walk around the party searching for him but he is nowhere to be found. Most characters have no idea whether or not the rumors are true or not. Since most people at Gatsby's party have never even met Gatsby before nobody has any idea about who he really is. Because of this, rumors spread very fast and almost everybody has heard a story about Gatsby. A theme that may be illustrated by these events are "Never judge a book by its cover". Many people judge Gatsby without ever seeing him or talking to him. They make rash decisions about who he is and what he's done but nobody knows for sure what he has done. I predict that Nick and Gatsby will start spending a lot of time together. While talking Nick will realize the rumors that Gatsby being a spy or a murder are not true. There is something Gatsby is hiding and he will either reveal it to Nick or Nick will realize it on his own.
