Until that is, he receives an invitation from Mr. Jay Gatsby later that month. Then he sees what a party thrown by Gatsby is like, with all the rich and famous people attending this amusement park of a party. I enjoy greatly this specific party scene because many people whom I have encountered that have read this book excited me with vague descriptions of Gatsby's regale in regards to social functions. .
Following this party, Gatsby brings Nick along for lunch in New York with a special guest, Meyer Wolfsheim. Meyer to me seems to be a very classic gangster, which in my opinion were the best criminals America has seen for no other reasons than that they fed the poor and housed them as well as created entertainment for these people. And of course, they were for the most part very well-dressed and better mannered than the criminals of today. It is after this lunch with such a shady character that a confused Nick returns home only to find out that Gatsby wishes to have lunch with Daisy at Nick's house, discreetly mentioning the fact that Daisy can not be aware of his presence until she is within the household. Once Nick learns of their untimely and rather doomed love, he slowly drifts away from Gatsby and his parties. But, upon a more special invitation involving both Daisy and Tom to attend a party, Nick joins them and notices that Gatsby seems to write a death sentence in his mind every time Daisy looks with discontent upon anything. This personally kind of shows to me the extreme lengths Gatsby would go to for his girl, to please her, and to impress her. Unfortunately, his efforts are doomed. .
After a heat wave strikes the area, the Buchanans, Nick, and Gatsby all drive into the city for some fun. But ultimately, it becomes the beginning of the end of Gatsby's love affair with Daisy. Gatsby have a massive argument which leads to Tom accusing Gatsby of trying to steal his wife along with his report of what he has found out about Gatsby and how Gatsby garnered all the money he had.
