What I was feeling when Daisy and Gatsby inform Tom about their relationships

Image
Thing gets pretty tense at Daisy's house. I feel that Tom already know something strange is going on with Gatsby and Daisy. I don't really want to get involved too much, but I want to know for sure what is the next step. Tom looks really angry, what if he hit Daisy or hit Gatsby? It is going to be really intense for the next couple hours. I don't know what to do. Should Jordan and I really stay in the room? It is conflicted for me whether we should leave or not. When we arrived at the hotel. The atmosphere is even more deadly.  I am sure they both are eager to tell Tom what is going on but Daisy seems to not have the dare to do so. While Gatsby looks pretty confident in himself. As the weather gets hotter and hotter, I am more eager to get out of the room. It is probably the best for me just sit there and don't interrupt. If something bad happens, I don't want them to blame me. It seems like Gatsby really wants Daisy's verbal confirm that she never loved Tom....

What I was thinking when I heard about the death of Myrtle

Image
 That day was a long and ungrateful day. Full of surprise and full of tragic. After coming back from the hotel, it is already dark. Then a bomb dropped on all of us---- Myrtle's death. Apparently, a serious car accident happened and Myrtle died instantly. I was astonished at the moment when I heard the news. I turn back and saw the look on Tom's face, I know he is devastated. He is angry and cannot believe the truth. I imagine the scene that happens when Myrtle died. A car rushed in the road and Myrtle standing in the middle of the road. Seconds later, she is just dead. Wow, this a such a special birthday for me! On my 30th birthday, I am handling so many problems and tragedy.When we went back, Gatsby was outside of Tom's mansion. I was still grieving when he breaks the truth with me. I am suddenly so upset about him. How could he and Daisy just leave the accident and pretend nothing happen? A woman died for God sake! How could he just leave like this? When he tries to e...

What I was thinking when Daisy cried for Gatsby's shirts

Image
I finally get a chance to visit my neighbor's grandiose house. It is huge and empty. When Gatsby takes Daisy and me into his room. I was astonished. The huge closet surrounded the bedroom and there's a bed in the center of the room. I bet there are thousands or even millions of clothes in the closet. I know the face on Gatsby, he is happy, he is finally happy! He has waited for this moment for a long time, being with Daisy is the best thing he hoped for in his life. Gatsby is so content with the condition now that he started to throw his clothes all over Daisy. Every color of clothes flies in the bedroom. I can see their love for each other, it is special. When Daisy suddenly started to cry, I was surprised. But I do not want to do anything to exacerbate the problem. I just stare at her, hoping Gatsby would do something. I wondered if Daisy is actually crying because the shirts are beautiful. I know in heart that it isn't. She is crying because she finally gets to be w...

What I was feeling when Gatsby died

Image
When I heard the news about Gatsby, at the first time, I could not believe it! I was comforting myself by telling me that it must be just a rumor or a prank. At that moment, I froze. I do not know what to do or what to say. There is some force in me that burst me out of the office and run back home. The only thing I feel like I need to do is run away and run back to Gatsby's house. I was desperately anxious. I didn't think much about Gatsby's death, probably because I don't believe in truth. I was still trying to calm down. I just started to know Gatsby, how could he die? I still can't believe it! He is such a great person. I wonder does Daisy know or not. If she knew, she is going to be desperate. Poor Daisy! Did they get back together? Gatsby might call her already. I must go back and be with him now. He should not just be alone. I was wondering if I am the first person to know, or everybody already knows. Who killed Gatsby? I just can't believe someone wo...

What I was thinking when I see Tom hurt Myrtle

Image
That day, I should not have gone with Tom to meet with Myrtle. I would not get so drunk and see what happened that day. Tom is already doing the wrong thing by seeing Myrtle. As the cousin of Daisy, how can I just ignore the truth and hurt Daisy's feeling like that? I am definitely a bad person on this occasion. If I can just leave this thing alone, that would be the best. Now that I remember, that night was crazy, everybody is drinking booze and doing crazy things. What happened later was the main reason I regret to come. Tom hit Myrtle. Tom, being a man, the worst thing he can do is to hit a woman. He even broke her nose. The is an irresponsible and violent thing to do. Tom knows from his heart that he is doing things in his wife's back, and he could not bring himself to admit that. He denied the truth. Myrtle might do something wrong by saying his wife's name outrageously, he should not hit her. Tom knows that there would emerge an issue between his mistress and his w...

Why I invite Daisy to tea

Image
I invited Daisy for tea because of her relationship with Gatsby. After I came back from lunch with my cousin, I started to feel like she is not happy living with her husband. When Tom received the call from his mistress, and when the time that he took me to visit her, I feel guilty for not telling Daisy and I also feel bad. Daisy can have a good time with her former lover, and Tom is having an affair anyway. If he has the right to do that, why couldn't Daisy. And this does not even mean that they will be together, it could just be an old friend gathering.So when I learned that Gatsby was in love with Daisy, I feel that it is my responsibility to help them meet with each other. Moreover, I just met my mysterious neighbor, Gatsby. I cannot just damage my new relationship with this prosperous and rich man for a tiny favor that I can't give. I have always been curious about Gatsby. And after I met him, I feel like he is a good gentleman. Gatsby invited me to his fabulous party,...
