What I Was Thinking When I Lost My Temper On Tom

Tom Buchanan is the love of my life’s unfaithful husband. My affair with Daisy has been one of not lust, but love. Although our actions are as disloyal as Tom, our intentions are pure and our love true. Throughout Daisy’s and my affair I urged her to tell Tom about our love. The day she decided to tell Tom we ventured to a hotel just passed the Valley of Ashes to cool off and drink. There Daisy decided to tell Tom about our love affair. He denied it furiously and adverted to other forms of anger. He outed my bootlegging business, deemed us unequal, and nagged at my sudden income. He pushed and pushed and pushed until I snapped under the pressure. My mind was on stealing Daisy away, keeping Nick on my side, and returning to the life I knew I deserved. Daisy was my first and only love and I wasn't about to lose her to a nagging, unfaithful, polo player like Tom Buchanan. Thoughts of the life I had planned for Daisy and I came flooding through my mind as I gripped Tom’s shirt tighter through my clenched fist. I stared deep into his eyes and realized my outburst might have cost me the love of my life. The eyes I started so deeply and angrily into were the eyes my love has been staring into for five long years lovingly. His eyes were supposed to be my eyes while the eyes of God were staring at both of us.        

What I Was Feeling When Daisy Told Tom She Loved Me

Daisy was my first and only love. I first met Daisy right before I left for the war. We fell so deep in love I believed no one would never find a love as strong as ours. When I returned from the war and found she had married I knew a poor boy like me would never amount to anything for her. Although my love for her seemed above the money, I knew she would never feel the same. For five years I built myself into a man of great power. When I was reunited with Daisy I knew I wouldn't be able to stop until she was truthfully mine. The day Daisy decided to tell Tom she loved me over him was a notorious day on a few accounts. My feelings for Daisy never wavered for five long and lonely years. The feelings I inquired after hearing those three words are almost indescribable. Daisy loves me, she has always loved me. The days I spent wasting away flipping through our memories, she was doing the same. Our love has been as strong as the first day we met to this triumphed moment in time. Daisy chose me. She chose our life as a couple after being away for five year over her life with Tom after being together for five years. Our love will be forever and always. 

Why I Threw All The Parties

From the moment I met Daisy I knew we would be together for life. She was the holder of my heart and the only thing on my mind. When I came home from the war and got the news she had married, I knew I wouldn't be able to stop until she was mine again. I bought a house straight across the bay from hers just so I could keep her in the slightest of sight. I threw extravagant parties open to all who deem fit about every weekend. I allowed the partied to rage in such extravagance that my neighbors across the bay in east egg would be able to see the festivities. The reasoning behind my outrageous parties was not so I could get my name out into the crowed. My scheme behind the large parties was to get Daisy’s attention from across the bay. People from all social classes, from everywhere around New York, flooded into my home for these such parties. Broadway stars, and gangsters, college dropouts, even governors entered my house to drink illegal alcohol and dance the night away. All types of people came to my house to indulge in free booze and song but there was only ever one person I wanted to see. Every party I would sift through the crowd in search of one person only, Daisy. She was the reasoning behind the parties, the house, the car, and the lies. I felt that without my accomplishments, Daisy would never truly be mine.      

What I Was Thinking When Daisy Killed Myrtle

Daisy and I were on our way back from the hotel room right after she told Tom she no longer loved him and that she loved me. She was flustered and full of mixed emotions while I was only filled with love for her and rage for Tom. She decided to drive to get her mind off of the matter and I easily agreed to the matter. I would do anything for Daisy, the smallest thing she wanted was hers. She was speeding down the Valley of Ashes unaware of her surroundings when Myrtle came running out into the street in front of my car. Her mind was wandering as was mine. The instant that collision happened I knew there was no going back. Daisy killed that woman and all hopes of us ever being together. At that moment all of my memories of Daisy, the war, the parties, and the gambling all flooded in at once. My life choices were all for Daisy and now they were shattered. While Daisy and I watched that poor woman fly lifeless through the air, I thought about our recent affairs and how precious of life together is. I decided to take Daisy up on her previous offer to run away together now that we had something from. We could start our life over for real this time. We could make a family and raise them right. I would give her everything she deserved and more. We would live our life in happiness forever.    

What I Was Feeling When I Met Daisy For Tea

It’s been five long and restless years since the last time I saw my long lost love Daisy. Her cool personality and delicate touch is what I have been craving for so long. The moment I saw her was the moment I knew we would end up together and I could wait for her forever. I knew I had to see her so I took initiative. I asked my neighbor and new friend, Mr. Nick Carraway to invite his cousin Daisy to tea at his trivial cottage next door to my mansion. The realization of my reconnection with Daisy made me shudder and smile all at once and not at all. Waiting for Daisy sent my heart beating into hyper speed. As a strong, influential man, I was out of my element. When my eyes dropped on hers my heart stop beating completely and I couldn't mutter a word. She was so beautiful, the type of beautiful you can’t do justice explaining. Her voice was like money and her smile was as bright as the sun. I couldn't take my eyes off of her beautifully soft skin and stunning eyes. The moment I saw her all my old feeling came flooding through. We were destined to be together and our reunion was the supporter of that destiny. The moment I saw this woman I knew we would forever be wed, maybe not physically but mentally. Our hearts were put together for the same reason we were put on this earth.    

Why I Befriended Nick Carraway

When Nick Carraway first moved next door to me, I watched him intently. I believed he could be the solution to all my problems. My intentions at first were very selfish. I knew he was a cousin of Mrs. Daisy Buchanan and for five years I had been infatuated with meeting with her again. My neighbor, Nick Carraway, was my easy way in. My first request of Mr. Carraway was to invite Daisy to tea. As a very wealthy business man I thought I could offer Nick to help me with a sort of job on the side to help him make a bit more money. Mr. Carraway reassured me that my request of him was a favor of friendship and I didn't owe him a cent. At that moment I knew he was a man of his word as am I. The more time I spent with Nick the more I realized I could confide in him. I shared my true identity with Mr. Carraway as James Gats, a man from a very poor family who found his way out of the dust and into riches. As my love for Daisy grew, my friendship with Nick did as well. I knew my affair with Daisy was a large secret for him to keep as her cousin and Tom’s college friend but he believed in our love and our friendship. Mr. Carraway reassured me every day of his devoted friendship to me. He brought me back the love I thought I had lost forever, and for that I am forever in debt to him.
