The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Chapter 4 pages 61-69
"Even Gatsby could happen, without any particular wonder" (Fitzgerald, page 69).
The list of people the visited Gatsby's home in the summer seemed to stick out a few insights into Gatsby's character. The list mostly made no sense to me as I could not pick out any of the names that I had heard of before. From that, I concluded that the list explains how Gatsby distances himself from his parties. He seems to have all of these wealthy and important people of his time at his house, yet there is no reason in his mind to care. Furthermore, I see that Gatsby must have something holding him back from letting himself mingle with the people in his home like I would expect him to do.
