The Great Gatsby
In chapter 6, what does the reader learn about gatsby from nick's comment:
"The truth was that jay gatsby of west egg, long island, sprang from his platonic conception of himself. He was a son of God - a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that - and he must be about his father's business, the service of a vast, vulgar, and meretricious beauty. So he invented just the sort of jay gatsby that a seventeen year old boy would be likely to invent, and to his conception he was faithful to the end"
