Why I gave Nick a formal invitation to my party

There is a clear combination of the people that came to my party, high society people with lots of money, people with much less money and new rich people. My party is the result of an intense preparation made by my servants. There is a huge amount of the finest food around, tons of alcohol served. All people hide themselves under bright colorful dresses; identity is not an important factor at my mansion. Here is the perfect place for people to show all their finest suites, it is the place where lights and colors gleam until daylight.

People arrive to my party without my invitation, which I didn't care. I don’t have to send invitations all over the place to bring in people. Whatsoever, I gave Nick a formal invitation to my party. He’s the person that I know that I can trust for bringing Daisy to my party. To get along with Daisy, I thought this was the only way for me to see her again. I believed that she would come back to me for love. If he successfully accompanies Daisy to my mansion, I can expose her to my lavish party and put her into the situation where she can fall in love with me. I know for a fact that Daisy loves the Amenities: expensive clothes and other luxuries. Anyhow, my investment in attracting Daisy will depend upon my connections and one of those connections will be Nick.  

What I was feeling when Daisy killed Myrtle with the Car

On the way home from New York I made a mistake of allowing Daisy to drive my car. When we were passing the car shop Myrtle runs out to try and stop us and gets hit by the car and dies instantly. Daisy, in panic, speeds up and drives away before anyone see us.


I am sure Wilson got pretty mad and depressed; after all it was his wife who had just gotten killed. His initial reaction would have made him shocked since he would not have believed it. After his shock pass over he will be enraged at the fact that someone killed his wife. I know for sure that Wilson will be shaken up at the thought of the accident, that he practically will lose his mind and wants to get revenge. Tom's first reaction must have been similar to Wilsons, but then I know he just wants to save himself, as he thinks that Wilson might try to kill him since he was driving my car earlier. He would blame the whole thing on me, even though it was Daisy who did it. At this situation, I could not care less about Myrtle, and wanted to make sure that Tom wasn't going to do anything to Daisy.

What I was thinking when I saw the Green Light

I believed in the future of potential and promise. I always dreamed of being with Daisy, and I will someday reach toward a future where that might be a reality. I guess it’s somewhat of an “American” idea for me to always be striving for something just beyond, to be pushing for the new, to stretch my arms out further. I climbed out from humble beginnings and pushed forward to create my own fortune in life, where I saw a future and dream that I wanted and worked to achieve it.



But it's funny how we humans are also nostalgic. And so there is this push-and-pull within myself, as a wealthy businessman; as a man with an impoverished background stretching behind me like a shadow, clinging to my heels. I am a dreamer and a romantic, who longs for an idealized version of Daisy and believe in a pure and true sort of love.



I will reach for a future that I long for and that I dream of. I will work to try to obtain it, strives for it. And yet, the memories of my past push against me relentlessly.
