The Great Gatsby Chapter 5 (my opinion and review/summary)

In chapter 5 of The Great Gatsby, Nick comes home to a fire. He thinks it is his home burning but it really is just Gatsby's house burning. Nick think's it is just a party but he hears no sound of partying. He gets out of his taxi and Gatsby walks toward him. Gatsby asks' Nick to go to Coney Island with him "Let's go to Coney Island, old sport. In my car."(86) but Nick refuses to go because "It's too late." (86) Gatsby offers "we take a plunge in the swimming pool-" (86) but Nick turns him down again saying "I've got to go to bed" (87) Nick then realizes that Gatsby's really bored and wants to know if Nick has invited Daisy over for tea so he can meet her and impress her with his huge home "He waited, looking at me with suppressed eagerness" (87) They then make sure a certain is good for the both of them. Then Gatsby offers Nick a job. "Well, this would interest you. it wouldn't take up much of your time and you might pick up a nice bit of money" (88) But Nick refuses because he knows whatever business Gatsby is in, is not so good. "I realized now that under different circumstances that conversation might have been one of the crises of my life. But, because the offer was obviously and tactlessly for a service to be rendered, I had no choice to except to cut him off there. 'I've got my hands full,' I said. 'I'm obliged but I couldn't take on any more work." (88) After that day Nick invited Daisy over for tea. He asks' Daisy not to bring Tom. "I called Daisy from the office next morning and invited her to come to tea. 'Don't bring Tom." (88) Nick went to buy several things to get his home ready "-I drove into West Egg Village to search for her among soggy white-washed alleys and to buy some cups and lemons and flowers" (88-89) Gatsby was pretty nervous and he didn't know what to expect. He then started to think Daisy was not going to show up. "Finally he got up and informed me in an uncertain voice that he was going home." (89-90) Basically Daisy came and he was completely embarrassed and so was she. "You're just embarrassed, that's all, and luckily I added: Daisy's embarrassed too." (93) Nick left then alone for about half and hour and went back in to tell them that it stopped raining. He came into the room with Gatsby as he hadn't seen him in years and Daisy's throat full of aching, grieving beauty, told only of her unexpected joy. "Oh, hello, old sport, he said, as if he hadn't seen me for years. I thought for a moment he was going to shake my hands." (94) "Her throat, full of aching, grieving beauty, told only of her expected joy." (94) Gatsby invited Daisy and Nick over to his home. "I want you and Daisy to come over to my house, he said. I'd like to show her around." (95) There Gatsby shows Daisy and Nick his home. Basically Daisy and Nick end up sitting on the couch with Klipspringer playing the piano. Nick leaves them so they can continue being alone. He got tired of being a third wheel.
