Chapter 4:
Gatsby takes Nick on a car ride out to lunch and talks about himself. Apparently all the rumours (Gatsby being in the army, coming from Oxford, and everything in between) were actually true, as Nick found out when Gatsby went through his life events. His story seems undeniably true, even with pieces of evidence, like a sign showing his days in the army, and photographs from his days at Oxford. Gatsby drives like a madman and so therefore gets pulled over. Because of his high class, and everyone knowing about him though, the police let him off. At lunch Nick meets Mr. Wolfshiem, a Jewish gambler who had fixed the World's Series in 1919. Also, we go back in time to when Jordan first saw Daisy and Gatsby together. They had been in an evident love, but Jordan only realised that the man in uniform had been Gatsby when she later met him at his parties. Jordan also talks of how, when the soldier (Gatsby) leaves, Daisy is affected, but then quickly joins up with Tom and is quickly engaged. Also, it is revealed that Gatsby living opposite Daisy's house is not actually a coincidence, but Gatsby's fine thinking. Also, Nick finally kisses Jordan.
Chapter 5:
Chapter 5 begins with Gatsby anxious at if Nick talked to Jordan about having Daisy over. Daisy is invited to Nick's house, unaware that Gatsby will be there too. Gatsby is a body of nerves, not coping with the concept of seeing his one love for the first time in 5 years. Gatsby also takes both of them (Nick has to come to break the awkwardness) over to his house. He flings his extravagant clothing around and looks at things through Daisy's eyes, fascinated by the things she also found fascinating. Finally, by the end of the chapter, after breaking clocks, sweating, and running out in the rain, Gatsby and Daisy have settled back into their mutual love for one another and stare into each other's eyes like no-one else is worth their time.
Chapter 6:
We learn of how James Gatz became Jay Gatsby in Chapter 6. A reporter comes, wanting to hear anything Gatsby has to tell him. Jay created himself from bottom up, completely removing himself from James Gatz. He met Dan Cody who was in on a ship going by, and sailed with him for the next three years, until Dan mysteriously died. Dan taught Jay how to dress, talk and act like a gentleman.
Also in the chapter, Tom, a man called Sloane and a beautiful woman visit Gatsby. Gatsby revealed to Tom that he knew Daisy, and therefore Tom, being protective, had to take Daisy to Gatsby's next party. Daisy did not enjoy the party at all and Gatsby noticed. Gatsby also talks about how he wants to repeat the past with Daisy. He is adamant that that will happen!
