- Contrast Jay Gatsby's story about himself on p. 65 and Jordan Baker's story about Daisy and Gatsby on pp. 74-77. What is different about these stories, and why do you think that they are different?
There is obviously difference between Gatsby's story and Jordan's. There were a few things that were obvious differences. In Jordan's story it was all about Gatsby and Daisy, their lives together, in Gatsby's it was his life story. Jordan spoke hers with a voice that focused in on the romance of their story. With Gatsby his story came across fake and rushed. Almost like it was all a lie. Those were the two major differences I noticed from them. I think they are different stories because they come from two different people who experienced it in two different ways. Gatsby was living the story while Jordan was just an observer of it all.
