Questions of The Great Gatsby

1) What made the women think that Gatsby's background is of something dark or evil?
2) Why did Nick write down all the names of the people that came to Gatsby's house during the parties?
3)Why didn't Nick talk to Tom about his mistress, even though Tom has Daisy?

The Bloody Party

Then there were bloody towels upon the bath-room floor,
Women’s voices scolding,
High over the confusion a long broken wail of pain.
Mr. McKee awoke from his doze and started in a daze toward the door.
When he had gone half way he turned around and stared at the scene
His wife and Catherine scolding and consoling as they stumbled here and there.

Among the crowded furniture with articles of aid,
The despairing figure on the couch, bleeding fluently,
Trying to spread a copy of Town Tattle over the tapestry scenes of Versailles.
Then Mr. McKee turned and continued on out the door.
Taking my hat from the chandelier, I followed.
  >Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (Chap. 2 Page 41-42)

Can you ever recover from a bad first impression?

Bad first impressions happen, but everyone can recover from them, it is just insanely hard. First impressions allow people to get an understanding of other people. With a bad impression, the person that is judging will think less of the person being judged. A way to change a bad first impression is to prove that person wrong of what they think of you by showing them who you are. Changing their view may be near impossible, but once you do, they will either like you for who you are, or hate you more for the kind of person you are.
Either way, it is all possible, it all just depends if you make it better or worse. Better, then thats a good thing, but worse, just stop trying now before we all end up dead.

It's on the Inside That Counts

Many people will never talk to another person only because of how they look. They either fear them or just not like that style. By a person looking a certain way, others will think this person is bad or this person person looks nice. In reality they could have opposite roles, the nice looking person will cause you to hate them in 5 seconds, while the bad looking person will be your best friend forever. Many things seem nice or bad at first, but until you get to know it yourself you shall never know the truth. I've met numerous amounts of people that i didn't want to talk to because of the way they looked. I eventually got to know some of them and now they are my friends, some i don't see anymore others i do. All in all its the same with animals. People don't like pit bulls because they see them as crazy psychotic dogs that kill everything. Thats the way they were raised. Penguin seem so cute and cuddly but they are one of history's most evil creatures. People judge by looks before personality, and its kinda hard not to but we all got to try are best. After all, its whats on the inside that counts.
