El Gran Gatsby
Capítulo 6, Página 2
I
think
he
had
the
name
ready
for
a
long
time.
His
parents
were
poor
farmers,
but
he
never
accepted
them
as
his
own.
Jay
Gatsby
of
West
Egg,
Long
Island,
came
from
his
own
idea
of
himself.
He
considered
himself
a
son
of
God,
meant
for
a
life
of
great
beauty.
So,
he
created
Jay
Gatsby,
the
kind
of
person
a
seventeen-year-old
might
dream
up,
and
he
stayed
true
to
that
idea.
For
over
a
year,
he
worked
along
Lake
Superior's
south
shore
as
a
clam-digger
and
salmon-fisher,
or
doing
any
job
that
gave
him
food
and
a
place
to
sleep.
His
body
grew
strong
from
the
work.
He
learned
about
women
early
and
became
dismissive
of
them,
thinking
they
were
either
naive
or
too
emotional.
But
his
heart
was
always
in
turmoil.
Strange
and
wild
ideas
filled
his
mind
at
night.
In
his
imagination,
a
world
of
bright
colors
spun
around
while
the
clock
ticked
and
moonlight
touched
his
clothes
on
the
floor.
Each
night,
he
added
to
his
dreams
until
sleep
finally
took
over.
A
sense
of
future
greatness
led
him
to
a
small
Lutheran
college
in
Minnesota.
He
stayed
for
two
weeks
but
was
disappointed
by
its
indifference
to
his
dreams.
He
hated
the
janitor
work
he
had
to
do
to
pay
for
school.
So,
he
went
back
to
Lake
Superior,
still
searching
for
something,
when
Dan
Cody’s
yacht
appeared
again.
Cody
was
fifty
then,
a
wealthy
man
from
silver
and
copper
mines.
Many
women
tried
to
get
his
money,
knowing
he
was
getting
older
and
less
sharp.
A
newspaper
woman,
Ella
Kaye,
managed
to
get
him
to
sea
on
a
yacht.
Cody
had
been
traveling
the
coast
for
five
years
when
he
met
James
Gatz.
To
young
Gatz,
resting
on
his
oars,
the
yacht
was
the
most
beautiful
thing
he
had
ever
seen.
He
probably
smiled
at
Cody,
knowing
people
liked
him
when
he
did.
Cody
asked
him
a
few
questions
and
learned
he
was
ambitious.
A
few
days
later,
Cody
took
him
to
Duluth,
bought
him
clothes,
and
when
the
yacht
left
for
the
West
Indies,
Gatsby
went
too.
