The Great Gatsby Chapter 1 Analysis
Chapter one
I think the most crucial plot point in chapter one is seeing Gadsby reaching toward the green light. I think this is the most important plot point because the readers do not understand why this is significant at this point. It is something the readers will learn more about as the book goes on.

One of them being he was actually invited to the party. Most people just came there. The other being that he seemed to be the only one looking for Gadsby. The other people thought it was funny that nick was looking for Gadsby.
