These are two separate questions, so I'll only answer the first. Gatsby knew Daisy from Louisville-he was stationed there for a brief period. Daisy was quite popular with the soldiers at Camp Taylor, which is how she met Gatsby. For him, Daisy represented the American Dream, everything for which he was striving. After a brief love affair, he planned to marry her, but his orders came to ship out. She was prevented from meeting him to say goodbye, & when Tom shows up with a $350,000 pearl necklace, her marriage plans suddenly change.
