In chapter 7, Nick drives over to East Egg to go and have lunch with Daisy and Tom. When he gets there he is surprised to find that Gatsby and Jordan Baker are also there. This is one of the first points in the book where I really realized how selfish Daisy is, becuase when the Buchanan’s nurse brings in their daughter, “ your mother wanted to show you off.”   I don’t even think that she mentions the girls name and hardly pays any attention to her.”I suppose she talks and –eats, and everything.” She says to Gatsby. I would of thought that Daisy would of been a loving, caring mother but she seems nothign of the sort. She and her husband are completely obsessed with themselves and their social stature to care about their own child. Althought I don’t think Daisy is intentially mean and negleglent towards her daughter, she is just extremely careless and self-absorbed. I think it was really hard for Gatsby to meet Daisy’s child because it makes her relasionship with Tom seem more real. I think he didn’t want to meet her daughter becuase then he could go on pretending like things ” could go back to the way they used to” with Daisy. I think Gatsby’s reasoning is completely absurd.
