Well That's Not Good [The Great Gatsby: Pgs 133-144]

The Great Gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald

Would it not be awesome to how this amount of drama on your thirtieth birthday? Well Tom had "won" the argument, and allowed Daisy and Gatsby to drive back together. Tom, Jordan, and Nick followed. However, I spoke too soon.

The possibility of Tom and Wilson going on with their separate lives is slightly improbable. Now that Myrtle was ran over by a yellow car, Gatsby's car. Of course, Tom knows this and believe Gatsby killed "his girl," but Daisy killed her. Gatsby says he told Daisy he thought Myrtle was dead and that "She stood it pretty well" (Fitzgerald, 143). How is any one alright with running over someone? That is absolutely ridiculous. Did she know that the woman she hit was her husband's "girl" from New York, or was that simply coincidence?  People are devastated when an accident like this occurs. If I killed someone, I would probably lose my mind, but obviously Daisy is not one to be much concerned with people of the outside world.
