A Mysterious Character

   The Great Gatsby continues to hold my attention. This Gatsby fellow is still a mysterious character, and as I start to actually learn about his life there is still something secretive about him.  His past is questionable even though he holds some evidence.  As I begin to think that I have an understanding as to who Gatsby is, F. Scott Fitzgerald throws in something that makes me question it all.  For example,  when Nick is at lunch with Gatsby and Mr. Wolfshiem, I find out that Wolfshiem is one sketchy person.  This makes me wonder why Gatsby associates with him!  Also, when Nick goes to say hello to Tom he "turned toward Mr. Gatsby, but he was no longer there" (Fitzgerald, 74).  Why does he keep disappearing?! That makes him more mysterious.  So, I am curious as to find out more about Gatsby and to see if he holds any secrets.  Surely there is something huge that I will find out.  I definitely cannot wait to see what Nick, Gatsby, and Jordan have to talk about.
