Important Passage/Quote:
"I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby's house I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People were not invited- they went there. They got into automobiles which bore them out to Long Island, and somehow they ended up at Gatsby's door. Once there, they were introduced by someone who knew Gatsby, and after that they conducted themselves according to the rules of behavior associated with amusement parks. Sometimes they came and went without having met Gatsby at all, came for the party with a simplicity of heart that was its own ticket of admission," (pg, 41). Importance- It is important because it shows that people from all over come to Gatsby's parties, and he doesn't mind. This gives Gatsby a mysterious presence, as he doesn't typically join in on the party himself. People come to his house and parties, not even knowing exactly who he is, and vise versa.
