Chapter I, meeting Daisy Buchanan

Hi, my name is Gianina and I will be writting my thoughts and ideas about this wonderful classic book by F. Scott Fitzgerald: The Great Gatsby.

In the very first chapter, Nick Carraway tells us with details the evening at the Buchanan's. What impressed me the most was Daisy Buchanan's personality. She is Nick's cousin, a beautiful young woman married to Tom Buchanan. She is very wealthy but, unlike her husband, seems to be a very nice and kind person. Moreover, Daisy hides a lot of feelings inside.  I could also infer this because she changes subjects abruptly and in each subject she has a different humor. Even though almost the whole chapter is about they dinner at her house, we can barely tell who she is. Her husband cheats on her, that might be the reason of her trying to pretend or hide her feelings.
