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 of cowards who had nothing better to do than make up lies. It showed the kind of people they were when they did not attend his funeral. I moved to New York in the first place to become a well- rounded man and these people were not helping me become a better person. So I felt like my time was done in New York and the best thing for me to do was move on with my life somewhere else.

What I was thinking when I met 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...
