1)Chapter 4 40-53
2)
The chapter begins with Nick, describing the scene outside of Gatsby house, out on the patio there is a crowd of people. ("...an overpopulated lawn.")Then him and Jay go out for a ride, where Gatsby opens up to Nick about his past, background and where he got his money. As he tells his story he alludes to an event where something very tragic in his past. Nick is bothered because Jay wont tell him what the event was, but Jordan baker does. They arrive at a resturante where Jay introduces Nick to Mr. Wolfshein, and Nick introduces Jay into Tom, but Jay leaves almost immediately after the encounter between the two. The scene skips to Jordan and Nick's tea time where they discuss the event of how Jay loves Daisy and whishes to be reunited with her.

a)Meyer Wolfshein,
b)"Meyer Wolfshein? No, hes a gambler... He's the man who fixed the World Series back in 1919."
c)
Meyer Wolfshein, is a small man, with a large head, and tiny eyes. He an emotional man as seen when he recalls the tragedy that occured right outside the resturante. He is also very money conscious and only acknowledges Nick to see if he is the man he is supposedly doing business. He is in the business of gambling, and business for him is good. Since he fixed the World Series.
d)
Meyer Woflshein, helps potray Gatsby in a different light. He has known Jay Gatsby for several years and recalls, the moments when a friend of theirs died by being shot out in the streets as the rest of them sat inside. For Jay Gatsby to associated with anything sinister is shocking, however by association of Meyer Wolfshein persona Mr. Gatsby clearly shows that Jay Gatsby doesn't have the cleanest past.
4)"...she was one of the chambermaids in the Santa Barbara Hotel."
This quote stood out to me, because in the previous chapters I had thought that Tom respected the image of the family and how West Egg people should act. It is clear now that he doesn't actually care about Daisy or, what people think of him. This proven by the fact that his affair is published in the papers. This is a key point and incite into Tom's character.
