In Chapter 3 of The Great Gatsby, Nick is invited to one of Gatsby's extravagant parties. He arrives only to discover that he doesn't know where Gatsby is, and then he meets Jordan Baker. Together they go looking for Gatsby and head to the library where they find "Owl Eyes", a drunken man trying to get sober. After talking to "Owl Eyes" for a while, they head outside again where Nick unknowingly begins a conversation with Gatsby. After revealing himself, Gatsby tells Jordan that he would like to speak to him privately. Later, "Owl Eyes" drives his car into a ditch and the chapter ends with Nick describing his life in New York and driving a car with Jordan. The quote that best describes Jordan Baker is: "Let's go out...that's way too polite for me" (45). Jordan Baker's bad qualities are that she is deceptive, mocking and contemptuous. Jordan's qualities are that she is a strong and supportive woman. Fitzgerald developed Jordan Baker throughout The Great Gatsby because she is an example of how people prey on others for money. Additionally, Jordan Baker is important because she represents a new type of woman in her time. The significant quote in this chapter is important to the plot of the novel. This is evident when Nick first speaks to Gatsby and describes his smile: He smiled with understanding, much more than understanding. It was one of those rare smiles that have a quality of eternal comfort in life... He understood you as much as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself and assured you that he had just the impression of you which, at best, hoped to convey. (48) This quote is important to the plot of the story because it describes Gatsby as people saw him, a charismatic relationship middle of paper......and Gatsby's clothes symbolize his wealth and extravagance . The rain begins at the start of tea with Daisy, "The appointed day was pouring rain" (83), and is mentioned again later, "Once more it was raining..." (88). This symbol is important to the story because it shows the tension of Daisy and Gatsby's new relationship. Gatsby's clothing was first described by Nick: "An hour later...Gatsby, in a white flannel suit, silver shirt, and gold tie, hurried in" (84), and later, when Daisy finds all of Gatsby's beautiful shirts, "He brought out a pile of shirts... shirts of pure linen, thick silk, and fine flannel... covered the table in multi-colored disarray" (92). This symbol is important to the story because it shows Gatsby's wealth and how Daisy reacts to Gatsby having enough money to own all these nice clothes..
