Question at position 1
Using 50 words or less, explain what we learn about Jay Gatsby's real past in chapter 6. You cannot write more than 50 words.

Answer 1

Chapter 6 reveals Gatsby was born James Gatz to poor North Dakota farmers, reinvented himself at seventeen, and became protege to rich copper magnate Dan Cody, who exposed him to wealth. His wealth’s true sources are hinted as dubious, and his past contrasts with the created persona, Jay Gatsby.
