Gatsby Chapter 1

My reaction to chapter 1 is that this book heavily relies on the rich to outweigh the poor. Such as when nick moves into his home which in in a fairly rich community but is smaller then his neighbor and counterpart Gatsby. There was a bit of a cliff hanger that I was curious about. Who is the girl that Tom has in New York. And why would she call during dinner time knowing that his whole family would be home. Also most people of this time are drunk and its a casual thing to drink throughout the whole day. Another thing that might be seen coming up in the future of this novel is Tom and Daisy being separated due to the fact that they cant stand each other. And also Tom abuses his wife which at this time made sense because of alcohol being a common thing in the household of the wealthy. Regardless of the fact that it was banned at this time.
