Jay and Nick

In our American Lit class we are reading the book The Great Gatsby. These two characters Jay Gatsby and Nick Carroway are building a relationship and it is an interesting one. It all started when Nick went to Gatsby's party which he has a lot of them. The reason being is that Gatsby is in love with Daisy, who lives right across the bay. He and Daisy were in love until Gatsby left to the War and she married Tom, but back to Jay and Nick. Nick is the cousin of Daisy. Nick to be a good friend helped Jay by inviting Daisy over for tea, and he also invites Jay to reunite them. Jay is nervous in the beginning so Nick calms him down and Jay gets relaxed and starts talking to Daisy normally. Then he takes her to his house and shows her around. While they are talking like a good friend Nick tries to leave them alone. Jay does not let him though because he needs his help. Nick stays and learns more about Jay when he stays. Jay is a good guy I think none of them are using each other because Gatsby sends a guy to cut Nick's grass and then also offers him a better job. It is a win win situation for both of them.
