What I was Thinking- When I First Saw Gatsby

         It had been a long night at the Buchanans. I had listened to Tom talk for a few minutes too long and I was ready to go home. It's not that I don't like Tom, it's just that it can get a little boring listening to him bring up all of his accomplishments. Daisy is always pleasant, but she is quiet because of overbearing husband. Anyways, when I arrived home, I thought about my new neighbor. He was all the talk all around East and West Egg and I was curious to know more about him too. As I was walking up to my home, I saw a figure in Gatsby's yard. It startled me at first and I was thinking about running into my home. As I tried to decipher what the figure was, I assumed that it was harmless. I watched the mysterious apparition as it stared across the way towards East Egg. I was truly confused. What was there to even look at outside right now? It was dark and a little foggy and I could barely even see the figure just in the yard next to me. What was the person looking at? I tried to look closer and all I could see was a green light radiating in the fog. The figure began to reach out towards it like they were yearning for something. I started to think that the person was a little crazy, but I couldn't help but continue to watch. As I continued to think about who it could be, I realized that it had to be Gatsby. The Gatsby was right there in front of me. He was so mysterious and I started to sense that he was alone. It seemed like he was missing something or someone. I wasn't sure what was going through Gatsby's mind, but I did know that I wanted to learn more about him. He was so interesting to observe and there was something inside of me that wanted to find more about his life.
