Gatsby and Fitzgerald both met vital women to their lives at dances, and both while they were stationed at camps in the army. Gatsby met Daisy at Camp Taylor in Illinois, where they danced and fell in love. However, after Gatsby went off to war, they never got back together again. Fitzgerald met his wife, Zelda, at Camp Sheridan in Alabama. Instead of going off to war (his regiment was ready to go to Europe, but the Armistace came before they could leave the States), he went to New York to get enough money to marry Zelda. In the movie version, Daisy tells Gatsby that "Rich girls don't marry poor boys." This line was taken straight out of Fitzgerald's life. The father of his first love, a young woman by the name of Ginevra King, supposedly told him that after Fitzgerald asked for Ginevra's hand in marriage. There are many other similarities between F. Scott Fitzgerald and Jay Gatz (Gatsby)- keep your eyes out for them!
Guests at Gatsby's parties included socialites, celebrities, wealthy individuals, and those seeking to be part of the glamorous lifestyle. The parties were known for attracting a diverse mix of people from different backgrounds all looking to revel in the extravagance and opulence of Gatsby's world.
It is owned by Gatsby, and is representable of the kind of money he has
Gatsby's mansion in "The Great Gatsby" is a grand and opulent estate located on Long Island in the fictional West Egg. The mansion is where Jay Gatsby hosts extravagant parties in the hopes of reuniting with Daisy Buchanan, the love of his life. The mansion symbolizes Gatsby's wealth and his attempt to win back Daisy's love.
discos, parties, clubs that kind of places. from :)
Tom is apart of the "old money." Gatsby is a mysterious millionaire from North Dakota with shady business connections. It's not officially stated who is richer, but that descibes their backgrounds-which is what the book is more interested in rather than who in particular is richer than who.
Guests who attend Gatsby's parties do not seek out the host to thank him for his hospitality. Most guests use Gatsby, and they do not reciprocate in any manner whatsoever. Nick Carraway is the exception to the rule. Nick's manners are much better than those of the upper-crust guests from the East Egg and elsewhere. Guests, who think they are superior to others because they come from old money, show their bad manners by not thanking Gatsby and not reciprocating in kind.
Jordan describes Gatsby as being an "Oxford man." This implies that Gatsby is sophisticated, cultured, and well-educated, despite his mysterious past and the rumors that surround him.

Jay Gatsby, originally James Gatz, is the owner of the Gatsby house in the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It is unclear if there was a real mansion the house was modeled after in the book.
He hosts parties to display all of his wealth for daisy because she is a materalistic kind of girl. So she will see all of his posessions in his mansion at his party. He flaunts her all of his expensive shirts.
He thought, in the begining, that Gatsby was just like the other rich elite, but by the end of the book he has come to find he likes Gatsby more because he tells the truth (like when Tom was interogating him about Oxford) and because Gatsby is kind to everybody.
In "The Great Gatsby," at the hotel, Gatsby and Tom Buchanan have highballs, which is a cocktail made with whiskey and soda. Jordan Baker drinks champagne, and Daisy Buchanan opts for a mint julep cocktail.
