Chapter 6

1. The news reporter went to Gatsby's house because he 'had heard Gatsby's name around his office in a connection which he either wouldn't reveal or didn't fully understand. The news reporter had heard some of the rumors that had been spread about Gatsby so he was trying to find out himself whether or not they were true.

2. Dan Cody is a man who owns a yacht where he and Gatsby met one day when Cody had set anchor over the most indiginous flat on Lake Superior. Gatsby borrowed a rowboat and pulled out to Cody's boat to inform him that the wind might catch him and break him up in half an hour. Transactions in Montana copper made him a millionaire. He made Gatsby his personal assistant and looked after Cody on his drunken binges. This gave Gatsby a healthy respect for the dangers of alcohol and convinced him not to become a drinker himself. When Cody died, his mistress recieved the money instead, and so Gatsby then dedicated himself to becoming a wealthy and successful man.

3. He wanted nothing less of Daisy than that she should go to Tom and say: " I never loved you."

4. Tom imagined that Gatsby is a bootlegger because 'these newly rich people are just big bootleggers, you know." Tom also feels like there's something going on between them because Gatsby "knows your wife."

5. There were the same people, or at least the same sort of people, the same profusion of champagne, the same many-colored, many-keyed commotion. There was unpleasantness in the air, a pervading harshness that hadn't been there before. It was different because Tom and Daisy were there.

6. He wants everything as they were before he left for war and have Daisy be able to 'understand' like she used to.

7. His real name is Jay Gatz and he's from North Dakota. He changed his name when he was 17 so he ould reinvent himself.

8. Dan Cody gave him to inspiration to become wealthy and successful.

9. Daisy didn't really enjoy the party just wanted to be there because of Gatsby which shows that it was probably because Tom was there too. Gatsby wanted to impress her but because he felt distant from her and didn't think she enjoyed the party he was depressed.

10. Daisy gives Tom a pencil so he can write down the numbers and addresses of other woman. She's trying to make it easier on herself for when she tells Tom she's leaving him for Gatsby. She usually would care, but now because she has Gatsby it seems less important. She's shooing him off on other woman.. not like he objects.
