What I was Feeling at Tom and Myrtle's Apartment

Honestly, I was not very surprised when I found out that Tom was having an affair.  He was the type of man who would cheat on his wife with someone outside of his social class.  I was kind of surprised that Tom dragged me along with him and Myrtle when he knew Daisy was my cousin.  On the way to wherever we were going he even stopped and bought her a dog because she wanted one. A DOG! We got to the apartment and they started calling to people to come over.  I felt uncomfortable around these people, so I got drunk even though I don't drink.  There was nothing better to do and by the looks of it I was going to be there a while.  It was weird seeing Tom with people outside of his social class and I couldn't believe he was spending time with these people.  Catherine, Myrtle's sister, started rambling on about how Tom didn't like Daisy and Myrtle didn't like George.  I would surprised by the lie that Daisy was Catholic, this was just a cover up   Myrtle started talking about why she had married George and what a mistake it was.  Around midnight things started to get bad.  Myrtle was in Tom's face repeating,"Daisy, Daisy, Daisy", until finally Tom punched her and broke her nose.  I was so shocked I couldn't believe it, but nobody would stand up to Tom.  After that, it was all over and I went home.

Why I got Daisy and Gatsby Together

I got Daisy and Gatsby together, because I liked Gatsby and Daisy was my cousin.  I felt bad for Daisy, because Tom was cheating on her and she was unhappy.  I could tell she loved Gatsby the first time I saw them together and I knew they couldn't be apart.  Gatsby turned out to be a great friend and I wanted to help him out.  When Jordan Baker told me about how Gatsby and Daisy knew each other, I could not believe it.  Gatsby had moved to West Egg to be near Daisy and he had bought a mansion to impress her.  He really loved her and he needed help to connect with her.  I knew Tom would be furious, but he was a cheat and a liar anyway.  He did not deserve t have Daisy if he could not make her happy.  I don't know why but it just felt right that they should be together.  I had never seen Daisy so happy and Gatsby was head over heels for her.  What could go wrong? Oh, except for Tom finding out and blowing up on all of us.  Anyway, they were going to do what they wanted and I was not going to stand in their way.

What I was Thinking when I First saw Gatsby

I had heard everything there was to hear about my neighbor Gatsby and I had seen his luxurious mansion, but I did not want to judge a man I did not know.  I was quite surprised when Jordan Baker brought up Gatsby and even more surprised when Daisy knew him too.  I realized I did not know anything about my neighbor and that maybe I should get to know him.  That night, I saw a shadowy figure lingering next to my house and I thought that it had to be Mr. Gatsby himself. I decided not to interrupt him from whatever it was he was doing.  I watched him stretch out his arms toward the water at this single green light.  I had no idea what the significance of this green light was, but it seemed pretty important to him.  The light appeared to be coming from East Egg, where Daisy and Tom live.  I looked once more and the next thing I knew he was gone.  It was pretty weird, but I decided to give Mr. Gatsby a chance, after all he did throw great parties.
