What I was Thinking- During the Gathering of Daisy and Gatsby


      Gatsby arrived early, and he was a nervous wreck. When it was almost time and Daisy hadn't come yet, he said he was going to leave just because she wasn't there yet. I started to become a little nervous of the idea too now that Gatsby was acting like this. I noticed Daisy had pulled into the driveway and I went out to greet her. When we came back inside, Gatsby was gone. My heart dropped and I didn't know what to do. When I realized Gatsby had come to the door again, I felt better, but I was still lukewarm about this whole thing now. When Daisy saw Gatsby, everything stopped. She was surprised and Gatsby seemed to like it. I decided to let them be alone for awhile and see how that went. I came back to them happily talking and their initial jitters seemed to have gone away. They were laughing and casually talking about their new lives. Gatsby decided to invite Daisy over to his mansion. I couldn't help but think good things. I felt that they really did have a previous connection, and that they were meant to be together. Daisy loved the fact that Gatsby was rich now, and Gatsby enjoyed being wanted. She seemed so happy, and I was hoping that this would last forever. When the night ended, I thought about how happy I was that they met again. Daisy seemed the happiest I had ever seen her, especially without Tom by her side weighing her down. The best thing about the whole night was Gatsby. It finally seemed like he wasn't missing something. I think Daisy was that "thing" he was yearning for the first night I saw him.

  1. Nick,

    I really appreciate you inviting Daisy and I over. You were a great friend to help us out. You seem to be the only on in support of us being together, and I am thankful someone is on my side. When Daisy and I met up again it really rekindled our relationship, and it is all thanks to you.
    , Gatsby
