Jordan

Poem
Jordan
Athletic, rich, cool and mischievous.
Friend of Daisy Buchanan.
Lover of vanity, golf and attention.
Who feels disappointed when she's not right, bored around drama and sneaky when playing golf.
Who needs attention from people, knowledge of whats going on and parties to have fun.
Who gives Gatsby a messenger, care as to what people think of her and her time to friends and golf.
Who fears boredom, small parties and losing.
Who would like to see big parties, careful people and herself winning.
Resident of Long Island, New York
Baker
Quote: "Don't talk I want to hear what happens"
I chose this because I think it represents Jordan's personality. I think that Jordan is one of those who has to be in the know with whats really popular around her, if she's not already what everybody's talking about. She is the one everybody should go to for gossip. On page 19.
Golf Balls
I chose this as a symbol for Jordan because this is how Nick knows who she is and how he recognizes her the first time they meet. Its also what she does as a profession and comes up several times in the book.
Big Party
This is a symbol for Jordan because she says that she enjoys big parties more because small parties have no privacy. She enjoys the intimacy that big parties provide. She also met Gatsby at a big party and told her his plan there.
