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.
