Chapters 8 & 9

Chapter 8:
     So.. in chapter eight it was pretty crazy. First of Gatsby is telling Nick how him and Daisy were before war ended. He was telling him how they made love and how they promised to wait and marry eachother after war. Well that didnt happen. I thought it was cute how he said that she was the first girl he ever felt that close to. Well anyways, Gatsbys gardner interupts Nick and Gatsby and says he will be sraing the pool. Gatsby stops him and says no because he had never used the pool. Now he wants to go for a swim. Then nick leaves. I thought it was sad when nick was destracted at work and he refused to go on a date with Jordan Baker. Then the story gets changed back to Myrtle. This is were it all starts. Wilson hears about who hit her and he goes and gives Gatsby a visit. Well Gatsby ends up being shot by Wilson while he was lying in the pool and then Wilson turns the gun on himself and kills himself too. Then nick hurrys back to the west egg to find that Gatsby is dead. This was sad that he died. :/
Chapter 9:
     In chapter nine it was about Gatsbys funeral. I think it was really nice for Nick to try to throw him a huge funeral.. but that didnt work out. I think it was mean when Tom and DAISY didnt show up! I mean hes dead , why couldnt they just show up. Very few people came to his funeral. Then Nick goes off and is moving back to Minnesota and decides to break away from Jordan Baker. Before he moves he runs into Tom and Tom tell him that Gatsby deserved to die and that he told Wilson about the car hitting Myrtel. I dont think that was very nice of tom and I do like how Nick says that Tom and Daisy are carless and uncaring people who ruin things and people. Im glad Nick s moving away from Daisy and Tom because I think they just created drama throughout this book.

Chapter 6 and 7 reaction

Chapter 6:
     This chapter suprised me. After all the rumors going around about Gatsby we get to actually here about him from the interviewer. I found it suprising how Gatspy dropped out of college two weeks after he was there. Also that he didn't come from a wealthy family because he hasd to work as a janitor when he was paying his college thing. Also that Gatsby doesn't drink at his parties because he was close to a man named Dan Cody and he was a heavy drinker. But when he died he convinced Gatsby to never become a heavy drinker like he was. And about the party when Tom and Daisy were there, it was a little strange how Tom his keeping an eye on Daisy there because he doesn't like Gatsby.

Chapter 7:
     This chapter was strange and sad. It was weird when Daisy had her baby brought out because I didn't know she had one. I like how Gatsby and Daisy can't hide their love from others and how she invites him to go to the city with her. It seems like Tom is getting worried and jealous about Gatsby and Daisy. So they all end up going to New York together. On the way back it was sad. Myrtle was hit by a car. Daisy and Gatsby were driving and they hit Myrtle. I thought this was really sad and how Gatsby said Daisy hit her but he will take the blame for her.
