Laudable initiative, Gatsby wanted to see Daisy because he made plans with her
Jay Gatsby is not his real name, it's James Gatz
James Gatz is who Jay is, Jay Gatsby is a persona (who James wants to be)
meretricious - apparently attractive but in reality having no worth or integrity
pressure to feel himself, to be Gatsby in his bed at night
Gatbsy was a clam digger, a salmon fisher, and janitor
Daisy arrives into the party and only enjoys it for the moments that she danced with Gatsby
"desolate path of fruit rinds and discarded favors and crushed flowers" - all of Gatsby's hopes and dreams on the floor of the party
Nick thinks of Gatsby's greatness but being realistic that Gatsby is being nonsensical
