The Great Gatsby

As Tom, Nick, and Jordan return from the scene of Myrtle’s death, Tom is pretty much freaking out from the thought that Gatsby, who supposedly is the one who ran her over, didn’t even stop to see if she was all right or to explain that it was an accident. Instead he just went home. But what Tom and the rest of them don’t know is that it was Daisy who was the one who was driving and by Gatsby’s description of her is that it didn’t seem to register of what she had just done. I don’t know if I just missed it but I don’t remember how Myrtle got out to run into the road where she could get hit by a car. It is said that when she ran out in front of the car she was trying to stop the car like she knew who was driving. Why? Well because when Tom was driving Gatsby’s car into New York and he stopped for gas Myrtle looked out of her window where she was locked away and saw Tom there. This yellow car is very unique so of course when she saw this car coming she thought Tom would stop and take her with him. That is also what Mr. Wilson thought as Tom arrived at the scene until Tom could explain that he just came from NY. As they are at Tom’s house Nick gets ready to go home in a taxi and as he is walking towards the end of the road to wait for the taxi he spots Gatsby in the bushes. Gatsby then comes out and explains all of this to Nick. Nick tries to get Gatsby to go home with him in his cab but Gatsby is too dedicated to Daisy to just abandon her and leave her with Tom in case Tom may get violent and be dangerous. When Gatsby returns home Nick hurries over to his house to once again talk about what had happened. That night what Gatsby had come to figure out is that Daisy chose Tom. Yet even though he knows this he still is not willing to admit it.
Then the chapter goes to back when Gatsby and Daisy were truly in love and he was leaving her to go to war. Gatsby wasn’t rich then and she loved him, but why can’t she still love him rather than keeping her social status with Tom. The chapter goes to George Wilson and he is looking for the man who killed his wife. He tells his friend Michaelis that he can find out who it was and when Michaelis is home sleeping George leaves and is walking all over talking to others to figure out who it was. As Gatsby is trying out his unused pool shots are fired. Nick goes running through the house to the back yard where he finds Gatsby in a pool surrounded by red blood where George Wilson had murdered him and then took his own life.
