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

-

 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 explain to me, I was absent-minded, the image of the accident keep flashing back to me. When I know that Gatsby would willing to take the blame for Daisy, I was moved. I didn't know what to say. How great his love for Daisy is that he is willing to take the risk of being a  murderer for Daisy. Gatsby is willing to do anything for Daisy. This is wrong, but his love for Daisy, I am just astonished. I stared at him and did not know what to say.

What I was thinking when I see Tom hurt Myrtle

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...

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

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....
