Why I had to leave New York

After my dear friend Gatsby passed away, life has not been the same. I was very upset and frustrated that no one attended his funeral. After his passing people continued to talk down about him and threw shame on him. When I came to New York Gatsby and I grew very close and ended up spending a lot of time together. He was an amazing person inside and out. I truly knew him unlike most of the people that were talking poorly about him. It made me sick just hearing people make up lies about my good friend Gatsby. When he passed away, I felt somewhat lost not having him in my life. It did not seem right to be living in Long Island, New York without him being alive. When I would walk outside to see his empty mansion, I felt down. At this time, I felt like there was nothing left for me in New York. I felt like I did not fit in with all of the immature people that were constantly talking bad about Gatsby. I thought to myself why I wanted to live somewhere without my dearest friend and a bunch...

How I was feeling at Gatsby's funeral

Hi guys!! At this moment in time, I was not only upset but also more mad than anything. George Wilson shot my good friend Gatsby because Daisy hit George’s wife with Gatsby’s car. Gatsby and I became very good friends in a short amount of time. We always hangout together, got lunch, and talked about everything. The day he passed, I was upset to of lost such a good friend as Gatsby. I felt like I needed to take the initiative to plan his funeral out of my respect for him. Therefore, I decided to set the arrangements up and invite all of his close friends and family. I slowly started to hear about from people about attending Gatsby’s funeral and most people had an excuse why they could not come. Instantly I started to be angry because I strongly believed Gatsby deserved better by people coming to his funeral and showing their respect to him. I was very angry when some of his closest friends told me they were not going to come because they did not want to get involved with the whole sho...

What I was thinking when I recieved a hand written note to Gatsby's party

Hi again! One day I received a hand written note from one of my neighbors named Gatsby who happened to live in one of the mansions. At this moment I really did not know how I should be feeling because I was not expecting him to not only send me a note but a personal handwritten one. I was eager to read what he had written. When I opened the piece of paper, it was an invitation to one of his parties. I immediately got very excited that he took the time to invite me himself because I heard from people that most people just show up to the parties. I was beyond excited to attend because everyone always talked about how his parties were so amazing. At this parties delish food was served, amazing music was played, people were flirting, and everyone was having the time of their lives dancing around. When the time came I attended his party, when I arrived I tried finding Gatsby but he was nowhere to be found. I asked everyone where could I find Gatsby, but no one knew because they did not ev...

What I was feeling when Gatsby and I went to get lunch in New York

Hi everyone! I am happy to say Gatsby and I have been talking more and becoming better friends. One July morning he invited me to have lunch with him in New York. I was excited to go out to eat with him and have the chance to get to know each other more since we did not have the chance to talk a lot at his party. In the car ride to lunch Gatsby randomly brings up what Jordan was telling me about at Gatsby’s party. I was caught off guard, was confused at first, and really did not know what to thin or say to him. However, Gatsby told me he wanted to clear his past so I would not think of him differently from all of the rumors that were going around about him. At this time, I almost felt a sense of relief because is showed a lot about Gatsby and the person he is. It made me feel that he could actually become a good friend, I was also happy we got the rumors straightened out. We continued on our drive to lunch talking about how Gatsby was born into a wealthy Midwest family. Gatsby shared...

What I was thinking when I met Jordan Baker

Hello, I am back! I am very confused right now and not too sure, on what I am thinking about this person I just met at a party. When I was at Gatsby's party I was busy looking for him but I came across a woman named Jordan Baker. We introduced ourselves to each other and decided to chat for a moment and get to know each other. She was a famous golf and frequency attended Gatsby's parties, which she greatly enjoyed. The two of us talked about Gatsby for a while since I did not know who he was. She told me rumor had it that Gatsby killed a man once in his life. I was in shock because I did not know what to think of Gatsby now or even the new woman I met. I thought to myself is Gatsby a good person, why would all of these people come to his parties and use all of his personal belongings if people know he killed someone? Then again, I thought to myself maybe this is not true and if not why would Jordan being creating false rumors about Gatsby. Anyways, we continued you to talk wi...
