Gatsby introduces Nick to an older man, Mr. Wolfshiem, someone Gatsby knows
and seems to do business with. Glance over these pages, and try to ask yourself
who Mr. Wolfshiem is, and what kind of "business" do you think he is involved in.
Additionally, why do you think that Fitzgerald writes this scene? Why do you think
it is important that we see Gatsby with this man? An additional note, the 1919
World Series mentioned was a very famous historical occurrence. The game was
fixed by gamblers and involved many of the baseball players.
