Sad Story (Page 133-144)

Written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby develops many characters through a quick paced plot that will brings me to the edge of my seat. I feel so bad for this group of people that have come together through what I would call misfortune. The fact that Daisy and Gatsby did not end up together in the first place is enough to bring forth tears. On top of that, when they are finally reunited, they are separated by minuscule detail in an argument that no party besides Mr. Buchanan can call the truth. Gatsby seems to have been ruined as a person in this last part. I am sad because I thought that he would rightfully triumph over Buchanan because of all the wrong that Buchanan made happen, but instead Buchanan revealed wrong that Gatsby had partaken in and this whole situation got messed up. Daisy hitting someone with the car just does not seem right at all. how could this ridiculous love story be coming to such a horrible ending? The power that Buchanan has over Daisy is very upsetting. The tones of voice and body language that he portrays make me feel bad for Daisy since she must endure them for what appears eternity at the conclusion of this passage. I hope that those deserving each other will end up with the right person. I wonder if Nick will be able to commit and actually get with jordan once and for all. The way that he dropped her hand saddened me. Why don't these people end up with the right people! The effort that Gatsby seems to be putting in is getting ridiculous. "If he tries any brutality she's going to turn the light on and off again"(Page 144), gives the reader a glimpse of how attached and really brainwashed that Gatsby is to the idea that he is going to end up with Daisy. Now I am not even sure if Daisy wants to end up with Gatsby anymore. She just goes along with the flow way to much.
