I found two striking moments. First of all when Nick finally meets Gatsby (1) and the second when Gatsby dies in an unfair and unexpected way (2).

(1) " I'm Gatsby, he said suddenly what I exclaimed. "Oh I beg your pardon" (chap 3)

(2) "...I have an idea that Gatsby himself didn't believe it would come, and perhaps he no longer cared. " (chap 8)

• Those are moments when Fitzgerald discovers the main characters more openly and then by the closure of the novel when the first character, who represented the hope for the future, dies in a sudden and abruptly. 
• With this I changed my mind, because I expected a happy ending, and with this I saw the imposibility of any change in the depicted sociaty of the twenties. 
• While I was reading the novel I though all Nick's illution about Gatsby would find a positive solution as regards the values but after reading the whole novel I realized the writer became pesimistic because of the death og Gatsby. 

• I would ask the author: Could it have a political relation, the motive that makes you consider the imposibility to rescue spiritual values within a sociaty plenty of material wealth?

My predictions were not confirmed, I said that there would be some trouble related to Gatsby, but that didn't happen.

The changes are:

• We have information about Gatsby. (chap 3)
• The new rich join the old rich in Gatsby's party. (chap 3)
• Gatsby becomes more and more interesting and mysterious. (chap 3)
• Gatsby finally meets Nick, and Nick makes a rapport between Gatsby and his ideas of hopes for the future. (chap 3)
• Gatsby meets Daisy with whom he starts a romance. (chap 4)
•  The Gatsby's dream, the love of Daisy, becomes a symbol that represents the American dream of the twenties. (chap 4)
• Gatsby makes the first movement to get his dream become true. 

 The quotation calls my attention because it is the beginning of the love story between the main characters. Gatsby wants to attract Daisy showing off, being spectacularily dressed, for the meeting, and also  with have again the contradiccion between apariences and material things against spiritual things. He wants to get Daisy's love throug material things.
" The flowers were unnecessary, for at two o'clock a greenhouse arrived from Gatsby's, with innumerable receptables to contain it. An hour later the front door opened nervously, and Gastby, in a white flannel suit, silver shirt, and gold-colour tie.. " ( chap 5 line 60)


For the next chapters I predict a conflict between Gatsby and Tom because Tom can discover the affair that Gatsby has with Daisy.
