After reading chapter 4, there are a few assumptions I have made (I know, don't assume anything, but I can't help it):
1) Jordan Baker ultimately cannot be trusted to tell the whole truth. She seems like one to fabricate a story. She's definitely clever enough.
2) With that being said, I'm not sure how much of her story about Gatsby I believe (that part about him moving to be closer to Daisy and asking everyone about her)
3) That these elaborate parties Gatsby throws are rather just an attempt to lore Daisy to his home (how romantic).
4) And finally, the reason Jay Gatsby is so mysterious is because of Daisy.
It disappoints me to discover that the only reason Gatsby is pursuing a friendship with Nick is to get to Daisy (another assumption). I wanted them to have a real friendship!
As for Gatsby's history that he forces upon Nick, it seems he tried a little too hard. Maybe Miss Baker is right that Gatsby's stories are lies.
By the way, am I the only one that thinks Nick's relationship with Jordan is a little odd? It's seems like they're friends by default and are forcing something more upon their friendship that just isn't there. It won't last.
One thing that is for sure is that Mr. Nick Carraway moved into a whole lot of drama.
