In chapter 4 we have learned much more about Mr. Gatsby. He was awarded medals in the war for his dedication for saving lives. This is much so American because he dedicated himself for his country. He is known to be a man who people talk about in bad ways. He took it upon himself to talk to Nick about the situation of his life, but their was still some strangeness in his voice when he talked about Oxford and the situation with his family and the money. When Nick finally knew about the love situation between Daisy and Mr. Gatsby it was a shock. But Mr. Gatsby decided to be the bigger person and try and keep the way he felt about Daisy away from Tom, knowing that she left him after he entered the war.
