Chapter 6 starts with a reporter going to Gatsbys house and questioning and hoping to get in interview out of him. Nick finds out some of what went on in Gatsby's past and questions weather he is really telling the truth or not. We learn that Jay Gatsby's name was really James Gatz and he is really from North Dakota...it took me a while to figure it out though. It was a bit confusing!! He also worked with a man by the name of Dan Cody, who was a wealthy man. I think Gatsby envied him because of his weathly lifestyle and is trying to replicate that in his lifestyle he now leads. He wants him name to be known, not just because he can, but I think it is because it boosts his self image. It's kind of like he is living in a "fantasy."
Also, what is up with Daisy telling Nick it would be OK for him to tell her if he wanted to kiss her? I thought they were related! I could be wrong, but i thought it was a bit odd.
When Tom, Mr. Sloane, and Nick are at Gatsby's house, i found it a bit ironic that Tom doesn't like the fact that Daisy has been going out on her own lately and that he thinks she is cheating on him. Well HELLO! Look in the mirror. I don't blame her. I think something bad is going to happen between Gatsby and Tom, and I don't think it is going to be good. I am almost certain that Daisy will leave Tom for Gatsby.

I think Daisy is going to stay with Tom and Gatsby is going to go crazy and do something terrible. Maybe he will end up killing someone.
yeah, i didn't understand what Daisy said to Nick either.. aren't they cousins ? why did she say he could kiss her if he wanted ?
