The Great Gatsby 1-100

Nick has moved to New York to get into the bond business. He lives in what's called the West Egg, and his cousin, Daisy, lives across the bay in the East Egg with her husband, Tom. Nick ends up meeting Daisy's friend, Jordan. One night, someone brings up Mr. Gatsby, who lives next door to Nick. No one knows much about Gatsby, other than rumors they've heard about him killing a guy. Jordan tells Nick that Tom is cheating on Daisy with his mistress, Myrtle. Tom then introduces Nick to Myrtle. Nick then gets invited to one of Gatsby's huge parties at his mansion. He meets Jordan there, and he just sits and talks to her because he doesn't really know anyone else. Later that evening he is sitting by a man and tells him how he has never met the host of the party. The man then introduced himself as Jay Gatsby. Nick and Jordan end up dating, and Gatsby and Nick become friends and hang out. Nick then finds out about Gatsby's past and he learns how he used to have a relationship with Daisy. Daisy is the only reason he moved back to New York, because he wanted to be closer to her. Nick is suppose to arrange a tea and invite Daisy over, but she isn't suppose to bring Tom. Gatsby shows up and he introduces himself to Daisy. Then Daisy remembers the past and how they've actually met before. After having tea, Gatsby asks Daisy if he can give her a tour of his house, which she is greatly impressed by how big it is. Gatsby gives Daisy and Nick a tour, and Daisy starts crying because it brings back so many memories.
