“‘Can’t repeat the past?’ He cried incredulously. ‘Why of course you can!’. He looked around him wildly, as if the last were lurking here in the shadow of his house, just out of reach of his hand. ‘I’m going to fix everything just the way it was before,’ he said, nodding determinedly. ‘She’ll see’” (Fitzgerald 110). I chose this quote because it shows Gatsby’s determination to win Daisy back.
This chapter explained a few things about Gatsby, regarding why he doesn’t drink and how he acquired his wealth. In this chapter, Daisy and Tom finally go to one of Gatsby’s parties, but Daisy wasn’t very happy. It was kind of sad seeing how Gatsby was anticipating Daisy coming to one of his parties and her not having fun. It was very exciting reading how Gatsby finally decides to act upon wanting to get Daisy back.
