Jay and Nick

Jay and Nick, Nick and Jay, its only chapter five and they seem like fast friends. It’s kind of an interesting relationship though.

They met in kind of a strange way, Jay invited Nick to one of his parties, and they were such complete strangers that Nick didn’t even recognize Jay. But I think the best of friendships start in strange ways, at least most of mine have.

Also, they view each other in strange ways. Nick really admires Jay, after all the book is written by Nick and titled “The Great Gatsby”. I suppose it’s nice to be admired, but it almost seems as if Nick is the president of the Jay Gatsby fan club, then again, my best friend Claudia is the president of the Haley Ray Thompson fan club. Another reason they view each other in strange ways is that Jay seems as if he’s personally showing the world to Nick, by taking him to the city on a hydroplane and all the other adventures yet to come. However, Jay is using Nick in a small way in an effort to get closer to Daisy. …Strange.

In a strange way, I do hope they become BFFs because they would make quite the dynamic duo, kind of like Batman and Robin, except they wouldn’t be superheroes, they’d be really cool New Yorkers living in the 1920s when “gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession.”
