In this chapter we finally get to know some useful information about Gatsby, or as we now know James Gatz. We also get to know who Dan Cody was and what he did for Gatsby. When Gatsby was young he was given a position on Cody's yacht so that when Cody was completely drunk there would be someone there to make sure he did not do something completely insane. After a brief explanation of Gatsby's past we find out that Tom is starting to have suspicions about Daisy and Gatsby so when Tom happens to join in Gatsby's weekly party he observes Daisy at all times. By the end of the chapter Daisy leaves and does not have the best time and Gatsby asks Nick for an explanation but does not realize that he is way too caught up in the past.
Dan Cody
"Dan Cody's yacht dropped anchor in the shallows along the shore."
From what we know about Dan Cody he was the one who made Gatsby part of the man who he is today. The only problem that we find with Cody is that he is an extreme drunk which is that main reason he gives Gatsby a job in the first place. In other words Gatsby is his babysitter.
Cody is a man we do not know much but we also know plenty about him. We know that he was the man who gave Gatsby an opportunity at a life with riches and not having to worry about the problems of the low and middle class.
