Setting: Near New York, in the mansion of Tom & Daisy Buchanan.

Characters:

-Nick, the main character.
-Daisy Buchanan, the cousin of the main character and wife of Tom Buchanan.
-Tom Buchanan, husband of Daisy.
-Ms. Baker,
-Jay Gatsby, Nothing is known of him yet, he was only mentioned.

The main character moves to west egg, to get in the bond business. Acquaintances end up moving nearby, which initially ends with a meet up. The characters have dinner.

The primary conflict so far in the story is Tom Buchanan has an affair with another woman who lives in New York.

I personally think that this book is very descriptive. Every little object is overly described with many adjectives, making the story seem longer than it actually is.
