Great Gatsby: Chapter 3

Gatsby's party, described as "one of a kind", emphasises his wealth and his vast and useless aquaintances.  It's mentioned that many who turn up to his parties aren't even invited, which shows how much people just want an exuse to drink his illegal liqeur.Nick meets Jordan again at the party and stays with her throughout the evening. He meets Gatsby in person for the first time and seems surprised by what Gatsby's actually like, and that he is unassuming. What was he expecting? nasty? snobbish?  Unexpected car accident takes place outside Gatsby's home- coincidental? the driver of the crash remains unknown.. Nick opens up towards the end of the chapter and we have more of idea about this character, and if you're me you like him less. He also appears to be falling in love with Jordan but notices she is "incurably dishonest".
