The Great Gatsby First Person Essay
What an exciting time I had when Tom took Myrtle, one of his many lovers, and me to a party. Tom, being a wealthy man, could afford a whole other home for his affairs and so he took us to his Morningside Heights Apartment where his affair with Myrtle took place. Of course we all drank and I must admit that I had not been so intoxicated but for one other time in my life. As I was able to keep myself in check, the alcohol did not have such a loose affect on Myrtle. Shortly after Tom presented her with a new puppy, she started talking about Daisy. He warned her not to talk about his wife but she found pleasure in his arousal and started chanting Daisy's name at which point Tom thrust his fist into her face, breaking her nose, and along with it the party. I was a bit, woozy, to put it at least, from the alcohol and ended up leaving with Mr. McKee by way of the 4 a.m. train to Long Island. I do find myself quite the lucky one. Gatsby is known for his lavish parties and I was lucky enough to be invited to one. Alcohol and food was in abundance and everyone enjoyed themselves even though they didn't know a great deal about the host. At midnight I sat outside with Jordan and realized that the man at my table had served with me in the s
I was fascinated when he introduced himself as no other than Jay Gatsby. Gatsby's passion for Daisy is becoming something large and more meaningful than simple lust. I told him that he should forget about Daisy and move on with his life. I could not sleep all night and before dawn decided to go over to Gatsby's. I was one of few who attended Gatsby's funeral; along with his father, owl eyes, and a couple of servants. Well tom got the confrontation that he wanted when we took a suite at the Plaza hotel. He sent over a man to cut my lawn and flowers anyways. I finally agreed to it and he was so overjoyed that he offered me a business deal; I refused of course because I did not want money in trade for Daisy. I sprawled out on his beach and though about the American dream and how Gatsby represented it. I realized that the cause of Gatsby being so nice and hospitable to me was because he wanted me to set up the meeting between him and Daisy. What a horrible end between her and Tom. I joined Daisy, Tom, Gatsby, and Jordan for lunch and we Daisy suggested we go into the city for some fun; Tom really wanted a confrontation so he supported her idea. I was impressed when we were pulled over for speeding and Gatsby produced a white card which prompted the officer to apologize for bothering us and let us on our way.
