It jumps from character to character a lot between: Tom, Nick, Daisy and Jordan. Nick is the narrator was explaining from his point of view about things. Tom was his next door neighbor, and described him to be rude, nicely dressed, big house that is a copy from somewhere else, rich, buff and everything hes not. He compares Tom and him because he is not that rich, has a small house, and his parents the rich ones. His parents pay for his payments for his house. Then, he mentions Daisy, Tom's wife, she knew that Tom was cheating on her with this chick from New York. Tom doesn't know that Daisy knows, shes keeping it to herself. But, she's not doing anything about it. Jordan Baker is the next person Nick mentions, Jordan is friends with Daisy and tells Nick about the affair between Daisy and Tom.
My first impression of The Great Gatsby, was very confusing. It was always jumping from character to character and explaining some pretty weird stuff. The writing style was confusing and I didn't really understand most of the meanings. I wish it was more understanding and that I could follow what was happening because that would make me want to read it more and more. The colors and symbols that represent that book so far is "white and light".
