The End to the Great

When we were driving back after seen Myrtal, Tom was in  shock. I couldn’t believe that Gatsby would do something like this but what else was I to believe. It had been a long night full of every  emotion, and when I asked Nick to come in and stay awhile, he responded with a stern answer that upset me. I did not talk to him after that which was okay. It had only been acouple days after the death of Myrtal, when Gatsby died. I felt bad that everything was blamed on him because I don’t believe that he did half of the stuff that the media blamed on him. It’s just made me so sad that maybe the greatest love story ever ended in such tragedy .

The Night The Mistress Died

It was like watching a show. The fight between two men over one woman. Gatsby had pushed too hard at Daisy. All he wanted was for her to tell the truth about their love. But she snapped and Tom was yelling about god knows what which was making Daisy even more upset. So she ran out, and Gatsby followed. At this point I didn’t know what was going to happen all I know is that after they left tragedy struck.   

The Lunch When Everything Changed

Wow there was a lot of tension in that room. When Gatsby reached for Daisey’s hand everything went downhill from there. Gatsby knew Daisey loved him but she just needed a little push in the right direction. He needed her to commit to him. When we go to the hotel you could cut the awkwardness with a knife. And when Tom brought up Gatsby’s “past” everyone knew what he was doing and no one agreed with it. 

When I Told Nick About Daisy and Gatsby

I did not know how to start. I was thinking it would be easy to tell Nick all about Daisey and Gatsby’s relationship, but it wasn't. Because it was such a sad story. Him leaving for war and thought to never return and her eventually moving and finding a new man to support her. But when he did return he didn't know how to reconnect with her. This is why he through all the parties, hoping that one day she would be intrigued and stop by one day. He asked everyone and anyone if they knew her but no one did until I can along and made thing whole thing happen. Why though? This is the question I have been asking myself. Why can’t Gatsby make the meeting happen if he is this big shot million air? Maybe because he was nervous to see her for the first time, or maybe there was the fear of her not loving him back.

Why I Was So Excited To See Nick

When I found Nick at the party, he seemed lost. Which made me even happier for some reason. He was looking for Gatsby, but know one has every met him. It seemed as if Nick had gotten an actual invitation to the party. No one has ever gotten an actual invitation for the parties before. Nick and I had a great time together while we were drinking, and dancing, and somewhat looking for Gatsby. When we found him Nick was in awe, seeming that Gatsby was nothing like anyone thought. He thought that Gatsby would be a short old fellow but was dead wrong. But as he strolled off into the distance Gatsby seemed mysterious. At the end of the party I was surprised to be summoned by the Great Gatsby himself. I didn’t know what he wanted me for but no one can say no to Gatsby. At the end of our little chat everything made sense. But I couldn’t say anything to Nick about it, until the next day…

When I First met Nick Carraway

The moment when I first met Nick Carraway I thought he would just turn out to be a man that would try to make everyone happy. The way he talked to Daisey and told her whatever she wanted to hear about how everyone back in Chicago missed her and were still in morning because of her absence, it was quite annoying. When he was introduced I didn't even give him the time of day, I got up and Daisey followed. But not with out pushing that she was somehow going to get Nick and I together, which I wasn't too thrilled about. Nick was a boring fellow until he pointed out the fact that he didn't know anyone else in New York. Even Gatsby. I was shocked that he didn't know Gatsby, everyone knows Gatsby.
