Wild Wednesday

I just googled cosmetology programs and cosmetology schools nearest to me. I basically just searched up what the programs require from you, which is to have a high school diploma and that you need to pay for your own equipment . I'm interested in the Allan Hancock one, since it's so close and cheaper, ill probably go there for 2-3 years. It's helped me do a little more digging in the career i'm interested in.

Question for 1-4

1. How did the book describe Tom Buchanan ? 2. Who is Myrtle and who is she to Tom ? 3. What rumors were said about Gatsby when Nick made his first appearance at one of Gatsby's parties? 4. Who did Gatsby take Nick to see ? 5. How did Gatsby meet Daisy again after 5 years ?

Gatsby chapter 4

- everyone has rumors about Gatsby but don't know the truth, or anything real about him - Gatsby dropped by Nick's house in the morning and gave him a ride to his meeting with Jordan - Gatsby told him "God's truth" about himself, at first Nick suspected Gatsby was lying, but gatsby showed him evidence - Gatsby told him Jordan will tell him everything at tea - Nick met Mr. Wolfshiem --Nick ran into Tom and introduced him to Gatsby -Gatsby seemed embarrassed and then vanished -Jordan told Nick that Gatsby was still in love with Daisy and how she meet him back in 1917 - she told him he threw all those parties so one day she can wander in and woo her - she said Gatsby wants Nick to invite her over for tea so Gatsby can drop by and talk to her - Nick was surprised and thought Gatsby was a modest man, a good man

Gatsby chapter 4

Gatsby tells Nick the "truth" about his past, like him being a son of a wealthy family from the mid-west, also educated in Oxford since its family tradition, he also visited around Europe, and joined the army. Jordan tells Nick about how she met Gatsby back in 1917 when she was sixteen and daisy was eighteen talking to one of the lieutenants, which she later realizes was Jay Gatsby. She continues telling him about Daisy and Tom's marriage and how at first Daisy was so in love with him and was always with him, but things changed later on. Well since I've already read the book, I know Gatsby is twisting the truth and withholding information. Jordan could be thinking she's telling the truth because that's how she remembers it going down, but I don't know if it's a fact that it went down like that.
