gatsby project

Nick:

1. coming to where i am now. i've noticed that people in the upper high class place act different. and people who aren't apart of it want to be in it and try to pose as something they're not. this one girl tom's mistress myrtle acts like she has alot of wealth but is only making it seem like that. i guess everyone just wants to be like the rich, but why? maybe so they can be invincible? or maybe so they can own what they want and get whatever their heart desires. sometimes i think it's just better where i stand now and just observe the actions people make. like how they act at my next door neighbor gatsby's parties. they seem like they know him but all it is, is just really gossip i bet if he spoke to them they wouldn't know it was him...

2. the funeral is over and gatsby is gone. taken when he really shouldn't of been taken away. his life was cheated because old money and jealously took over, he lost his life. what was truly sad was that no one besides me, and gatsby's father attended his funeral. not even the person gatsby loves and who is the main reason for all this, daisy, didn't come. just comes to show even if you have money and think you have everything that you can buy with your money you're still alone at the end of the day...

Tom:

1. took myrtle out today and bought her a puppy. i think she believes that she stands a chance with being with me. she really doesn't, she's just like another pawn to show off my power and what i can do and am allowed to do. but i have to do these things like buying her things to keep her happy, and to make it seem like this could be something. though at times i think she knows that nothing will go on past this affair...

2. who does gatsby think he is. just cause he's new money and has all the new things. he thinks he's really something "meet the polo player" "old sport" what is that honestly. and this thing he has going on with daisy i don't trust him one bit. soon as i can i will take him down. i'm not sure how just yet, i'll still need to find out more about this one before i can make my move. no one will threaten my power and try to take my daisy away from me...

Gatsby:

1. i found out that old sport nick is related to daisy. this can be my chance to rekindle the flame with her. all i need to do is show her what i've accomplished, what i've gone through, basically how much i've grown. i'll see if nick can bring daisy over that would be just grand if the old sport can. though i'm nervous i don't know what to say or even how to act when i see her again. maybe i'll just show her around my place so she can see all my possessions...

2. i don't think daisy likes who i am, at least what i do. at the last party she was at she wasn't pleased. maybe it was because of everyone that was there. i think she just likes the possessions i have and the one on one time we share. i know that there's still something there between us, and she knows it too.... me and daisy have been spending alot more time together though, i know that this affair has taken off i want more. i want us to have what we had 5 years ago. i want her to leave tom and be with me and love me guess we'll see...
