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?
With Gatsby's story he restates that he that has a family tradition is to get an education at Oxford. Even though he did make it hard for Jordan and Fitzgerald to believe him, he seemed to be a little tense while telling this story. Jordan gives the year of when everything happened, with Daisy, Tom & Gatsby, she gave her age, she also gave Daisy's age. I believe the reason why they are different is because one view is as an and another is from a personal experience. We learn that Daisy gets scared or paranoid whenever Tom, her husband, leaves the room for even the shortest amount of time. We learn with Jordan's story, after a while after she and Tom get married, she hears Gatsby's name again in years. The main differences between these two stories are: detail, depth, step by step, time, and truthfulness.
