The parties have nothing to do with Gatsby himself. He doesn't care if he attends and usually can't be found. The parties are a statement. They are a way in which he can stage events that will get his name bandied about, all in the pretense of having one woman hear his name. The attention he desires is Daisy's alone. The parties, if she hears of them (he knows that eventually she will), are meant to convey to her that he is now financially worthy, that he can afford the opulence and society she is accustomed to. He wants her to know he's there wild, expensive parties given on a regular basis will generally do the trick.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
