What I Was Feeling When Nick and I Split
Who needs him anyway? We were never in a state of true love. And besides, he's just some average man. There's millions of them scattered across the world. My feelings towards this are ultimately indifferent. It is true that I liked him a lot more than I did any other man, but it wasn't ever serious, and he would likely agree. Still, breaking up on the phone is an awful way to do so. What's next, I wonder. Soon people will be able to send each other some sort of electronic message and they'll do the same thing to eachother.
What I Was Thinking When I Saw Myrtle Dead
Now, I hadn't known Myrtle well, and I chose not to get to know her. But seeing her dead still struck me with a fit of emotion and thoughts. What if, since Gatsby's car was definitely the culprit and Daisy was in it with him, Daisy purposefully ran over her? They claim that she ran out in the road too fast and they didn't see her until they crashed, but I don't believe it. I still think that Daisy wanted revenge on Tom. It seems rather hypocritical, however, as she is doing the exact same thing to him.
What I Was Feeling When We Were in the Hotel in the City
To sum it up, it was unbearably hot. Both in the literal and figurative senses, as Gatsby and Tom decided to start a fight. I was utterly terrified. Not just for myself, but for everyone, especially Daisy. The fight was over her and who she loved more, and I don't understand how anyone could even think when something like this is going on. Grown men shouldn't fight like this, nobody should. My other feelings were mostly drowned out by pure fear, but I had started to feel a slight bit of remorse for my actions, as I had basically caused this to start.
Why I Asked Nick to Help Reunite Daisy and Gatsby
Having just heard Gatsby's story, I was inspired. I loved seeing Daisy happy, she was basically my best friend. So why not bring her the one she truly loves? This would have to be in secret of course, as Tom would in no way be in favor of it. Now, with me having heard both sides, I determined that the best thing to do would be having Nick help me and bring the two together. Gatsby's extremely romanticized visions of her make me believe, for once, that he truly loved her, and at one point they truly loved each other. Nick better not let me down!
Why I Cheated in the Golf Tournament
The simple reason why I did so was just because I despise losing. Also, who doesn't love a scandal? Attention is one of the things I crave, and a scandal will give it to me. And besides, it felt amazing when I won because of that. I'm not really one of those, guilty types. Remorse isn't my style. Building any sort of reputation is, however. Whether it brings it up or down, I've just learned not to care.
What I Was Thinking When I Met Nick
I didn't think much of him at first. He was just an average man and I was rather well recognized. However, as the night progressed, he and I got closer to each other and started getting a little curious. It wasn't falling in love, per se, but more of just a desire for a casual thing. It wasn't hard to tell that he liked me. I mean, everyone likes me, I'm a famous pro golfer. But somehow, he was different. I actually liked him back. Definitely not in a proportionate amount, but I did. His calm, humble attitude set something off in me, and I knew that soon we would be closer.
