The Weather During Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby's First Meeting

          On the day that Nick Carraway invites both Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby to his house for tea so that they can see each other for the first time in a long while, the weather is very stormy. It was pouring, but right before Daisy got there it let up a little. I think this weather was very important and helpful to the meeting. To me, it gave it a much more solemn and alone feel. It felt much more serious, but it also felt like no one else could see or hear the two. Which I think might have gotten Daisy to open up more than if it was sunny, or if there were other people there. Rain makes it dark outside, and drowns out most outside noise, so it would have felt like it was just them, which I think is a very good way for them to meet. They can't get distracted by outside things.
