emily's thoughts

From what I understand the story begins by talking about not Nick but his half cousin Daisy, and her husband, Tom's infidelity. So when I think about The Great Gatsby, I think about its first paragraph and the song I can connect to this section is "Whhat Goes Around Comes Around" by J. Timberlake. Because I do believe Tom's infidelity won't be forgiven. That he'll get what he deserves.

Usually a "normal" student pays attention and they actually understand what a story is about, or what the teacher is saying, but in this case I'm not the "normal" student here. Somehow I try so hard to understand this book, the words said, and it's meanings but maybe it's the fact that I'm trying so hard to understand its main idea that doesn't allow me to understand the meaning of those words in those pages. So .... This is what I've understood so far, or at least think i understand: Basically, this guy "Nick" which by the way takes his time until later on in the story to expose his name  which is probably relevant I just dont understand why. So, Nick talks about the setting he is in, he is so so SO detailed in what he talks about. And it's so ridiculously insane how he describes the setting or maybe it's just me? Anyway... He speaks of his half cousin, Daisy and her husband I forgot his name haha, he mentions he has know

Epigraph- a qoute that comes un the beginning of the story that gives a clue of what the story might be about. "Two old friends, that i scarcely knew at all"- he talks about how he knew those people but they have changed, they're different from what he remembers. Daisy and "Nick" use act like gestures when speaking.  Daisy is unhappy, this was shown when explained that after she moves forward she doesn't hesitate in moving back. Why does "Nick" give his name until later on in the story?
