Why I Moved To West Egg

I grew up in a very well of family and went to Yale. My wife grew up and lived in Louisville, so why would I move to West Egg? New York is the land of lavishes and opportunity. All sorts of people of all walks of life come here to make a fortune, or show off their fortunes. The latter is what drew me to New York. I found a massive mansion just outside the city in West Egg. Many other well off families come to this area as well. But New York gives me an opportunity to show off my wealth and prove my importance. My wife, Daisy, is one of the greatest examples of my importance. Every other man would kill to marry a girl like Daisy. But I am the one who got to marry her and here we are. She is the ultimate proof of my importance. West Egg provides me the opportunity to showcase my importance to greater people. I know that i am important and I want to show every one else the same thing.

What I Was Feeling When I Married Daisy

Every important man needs an important woman to be with him. Daisy will provide that for me. Every man in this town would kill to be with her and I am the one who ends up getting to marry her. She is a sign of my wealth and importance and I love her for that. I know every other man would dream for the opportunity to marry a girl like Daisy and that only further proves how special and important I am. She can be comforted in my wealth and know that I will take care of her every need. i know that i will take care of her and that will strengthen our bond together. What other man could she ask for that doesn't have what I have? All she every needs is right here with me and I know that she will stick by me. She is the sign of my importance and wealth and everyone will know that once they see me and Daisy together.

What I Was Thinking When Gatsby Drove Daisy Home

I shouldn't have done that. Gatsby has proven time and time again that he loves Daisy and wants her for himself. And I let them go together in Gatsby's car. I gave Gatsby another chance to win her over. Why would I let him do that? All i can do is hope that Daisy does truly love me more than him. We have so many memories, that must be stronger than whatever she has with this man she barely even knows. If she's drawn to his money, i have much more of it. How could she not be happy with the life I've provided for her. We live in an enormous house, enjoying the lavish lifestyle that only I can provide for her. I graduated from Yale and come from a rich family, how could she want to leave that? Who is Gatsby anyway? Nobody seems to know who he is or where he came from. Daisy cheating on me would break me. All i needed to complete my life was a girl that was as wealthy and important as I am and Daisy provided that for me. Her leaving me would be a sign i am no longer worth anything or important. 

What I Was Feeling When Myrtle Died

I know I should feel guilty. My affair is what led Myrtle to get killed. I should never have tried to pull Myrtle away from her marriage. I can't show any of this emotion. The rage of  Daisy cheating on me can hide my mourning. I let my own guilt get the best of me and it pushed Daisy away to Gatsby. Gatsby has been behind this all along. He's been undermining my life and my relationships. George wants to know who killed Myrtle. Gatsby was driving the car when Myrtle ran out. I know she ran out to try and run away with me but I don't know if I even would have left with her. When I had Daisy all to myself, she wasn't good enough. But now that another man is with her, she is all that I care about again. I'll pin this on Gatsby so George will take him out and I can have Daisy all to myself again. I need to hide my feelings from Daisy. I don't know if she found out about Myrtle, but I hope that she will forget about Gatsby and love me again. I will miss what Myrtle gave me but Daisy will always hold a special place in my heart. 

Why I Broke Myrtle's Nose

I don't even know why I got myself into this mess anyway. Both of the women in my life do nothing but drive me crazy. If Daisy had been a loving wife that took care of my needs, I wouldn't have any reason to cheat. But I needed something more so here we are. Myrtle has provided a little more excitement into my life. We were throwing a party at our apartment that we use to getaway from the people we know. Some of Myrtle's friends were there and I also decided to invite Nick. The liquor was flowing freely, as per usual. Yes, I was drinking, but not more than I usually do. I was known throughout Yale for having a high tolerance and that characteristic as followed me through. Myrtle and I were having a grand time. We had just snuck away  to be alone together for a few moments. Myrtle began to ask some suspicious questions about my life away from her. She wanted to know what Daisy was like and if she had any suspicion to my affair. I told her not to mention Daisy's name while we were together. That little brat began to chant her name, as if to taunt me. The nerve of this girl! She wouldn't stop and I let my anger control me as I wound up and broke her nose. I didn't mean to hurt her, but I hope she learns her lesson not to disrespect me again, especially in front of other people.

What I Was Thinking When I Saw Nick

It's been such a long time since I've seen Nick at Yale. I know we've never been really close but I feel like he's an enjoyable person to be around. I can trust him. Even though Nick is related to Daisy, i feel like he will be closer to me. I hope he doesn't tell Daisy about my affair. He's a sensible man and will understand that I need something more. I might invite him to come with me and Myrtle before Daisy can try and set him with her friends. She's been talking about one of her friends Jordan, a professional golfer. She may have wealth and fame but Daisy tells me Jordan is very lonely and desperate. I'll save Nick and set him up with some of Myrtle's friends instead. Nick may not know it yet, but I know he will want to be with me more than Daisy. Daisy doesn't know what she really wants either. It's a characteristic that isn't attractive. I hope I can save Nick before its too late. Nick could be such an attractive man for a woman. He's young, smart, inventive, and almost successful. He could advance himself so quickly but just finding the right, rich woman. I know a couple of women that hang around Myrtle that would be just the right woman for him. I think me and Nick could become quite the pair if he keeps close to me.
