In chapter six, Nick leads us in with a big shocker about Gatsby and how he became to be who he is. Rumors of Gatsby spread about him being a boot-legger, which ends up to be true. He use to be a young man named James Gatz from North Carolina. After meeting Dan Cody, a rich man who is where Gatsby got all his money from. Daisy spends more time with Gatsby as the story goes on and Tom does not seem to be liking the idea. In the end Gatsby ends up kissing Daisy.
Dan Cody
"Cody was fifty years old then, a product of the Nevada silver fields." (pg 99)
-very rich
-changed Gatsby
-Gatsby's best friend
-a drunk
Cody seems to be the person with whom everything started with. He gave Gatsby the idea of becoming who he is instead of James Gatz. There is probably more between Gatsby and Cody's relationship that will be uncovered later on in the story.
"You can't repeat the past" (pg 110)
This quote really stood out to me because it is a true quote that everyone has gone through at some point in their life. There are many times when I want to changed the past because of something I did wrong or go back and relive it because I did something right. Even though the past can't be repeated the future can always be changed. But the most important is the present. In novel past seems to be were everyone is living, Gatsby lives with the ideas of Daisy in the past and Nick is telling us what happened.
