The Great Gatsby chapters two and three

After reading chapter two and three or 'The Great Gatsby', I think one thing that really stuck out to me was the way the characters at the party were described. For example, although Nick decribes what the two girls wearing the yellow dresses at the party are wearing; he fails to mention what anybody else is really wearing. he also fails to really tell us the names of any party guests.
Nick refers to a few of the guest as 'Mr Mumble'. obviously their names are not really Mr Mumble it is just showing how uninterested Nick is with them. He cares so little about them that he doesn't even bother to ask what their real names are, let alone actually listen properly to them in the first place.

It is decribed that Nick is at a party held at Gatsbys home. The way Fitzgerald describes the party makes Gatbsy home luxurys seem all the more great. For example, Nick mentions Gatsby's 'Rolls-Royce' and his many 'servants' not only helping us as readers to get a good image of what the party is like in our head, but it also allows us to gather some background history and lifestyle of what Gatsby is like.There are many people at the party even though none of them actually know Gatsby. There are people that make rumours such as 'he killed a man' and that 'he was a German spy' thus proving further that they don't specifically know anything about Gatsby. These rumours also start to create a picture in the readers mind, leaving them to wonder wether this image of Gatsby is true or false. The whole chapter leads up to meeting with Gatsby, however when it actually happens it is quite sudden as Nick doesn't even realise he is talking to him. The way Fitzgerald has laid that out in the chapter leaves the audinece thinking ' is Gatsby just an ordinary guy?' 'do I like him as a character?'. I think this is a very effective yet strange technique that Fitzgerald has used intentionally to make the reader feel this way.

Nearing the end of chapter three there is a car accident. It seems very strange and random for Nick to tell us about it as it has no real significance. We don't know any of the characters and no one is really hurt. As it appears to have no significance it leaves me questioning whether it will have some later in the chapter and this is just Fitzgeralds way of telling us that.
It also appears that Gatsby calls Nick 'Old sport' alot of the time. However, when he does call him this it seems to be rather forced, almost as if for some reason he is making himself refer to Nick as it to seem friendly. This may also have something to do with a previous character saying that Gatsby seems to ' care alot about what people think'. Leaving me asking myself the question, why?.
