Ch 3 part 1: ain't no party like a Gatsby party

The Great Gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald

The reader gets a sense of hope now that they are plunged into one of Gatsby's amazing parties. However, the host seems to be no where to be found.  Gatsby throws these parties for seemingly no reason, just to make random people happy. Women flock to these events just to have a good time. Actresses, businessmen, families, everyone goes to Gatsby's house just for the sake of a party. Nick notes that "people were not invited--they went there" (Fitzgerald 41). Nick seemingly was the only one who received an invite, most likely because Gatsby wanted to meet his neighbor. Nick spots Jordan Baker and decides to spend the evening along her side. As he talks with her and other guests, he finds out many rumors about Gatsby. None of them are connected in any way, so I doubt they are true; but if rumors exist about this Jay Gatsby then he can't be 100% clean and spiffy. As they wander through the house, they enter the library and find Mr. Owl Eyes (as he is so affectionately called).
couldn't stop thinking he looked like this
Owl eyes reveals Gatsby's immense wealth by showing of all the fancy books that are quite rare and amazing to him, but seemingly pointless to all non-historians. Furthermore the massive library adds mystery around Gatsby, as to why he has so many books and who he is trying to impress. Nonetheless, I'm eager to meet Gatsby and I hope he is as spectacular as everyone says.
