The Great Gatsby -- week6

Hello!

I am reading “The Great Gatsby”. I read chapter 12 and chapter 13 this week. Of course these chapters were fun, too!!

First, Daisy’s husband, tom noticed that Daisy loved Gatsby. Also Daisy and Nick and Tom and Jordan took a drive to New York to escape from heat. Tom said to Gatsby, “You took my car and I’ll take yours. Came on, Daisy. I’ll drive you in this crazy yellow thing.” However, Daisy declined the offer and went with Gatsby. In the end, Tom took Jordan and Nick. Tom’s car was very unhappy. And Tom stopped at the Wilson’s garage to fill it up with gasoline. Wilson’s color of face didn’t look healthy. He noticed the flirtation of his wife and he was going to the West. Tom noticed he was going to lose his lover. And, in the next chapter, a terrible accident has occurred.

Tom told Daisy that Gatsby is selling alcohol under cover, because he didn’t feel good to Gatsby. Daisy was awfully confused and asked Tom to want to go home. However, Tom told Gatsby to drive her home. In the way back, Gatsby has run over and killed Myrtle. She was Wilson’s wife and Tom’s lover. Tom and Wilson were awfully shocked; in addition Gatsby is awfully depressed.

 

There were many sad scenes this week, so I’m looking forward to read the hopeful scenes next week.

The Great Gatsby -- week5

Hello, everyone! I’m continuing to read “The Great Gatsby”.

This week, I read about the past of Gatsby and the story of Daisy and Gatsby. It was very interesting for me. The first scene is Daisy and Gatsby and Nick hold a tea ceremony.

Gatsby looked forward to see Daisy. And he arrived at the Nick’s house earlier than her. When Daisy came, Gatsby was tense very much. And she said to Gatsby, “Well, I’m certainly glad to see you again.” They seemed to be hard to talk. So Nick left his seat for 30 minutes, when Nick returns Daisy’s face was covered with tears and Gatsby seemed to grow with happiness. I didn’t know why she cried.

 

Next, Gatsby invites Nick and Daisy to the house. In his bedroom, he laughed and took out a pile of shirts and began throwing them, one by one, before Nick and Daisy. Suddenly, Daisy bent her head into the shirts and begun to cry and she said, “They’re such beautiful shirts. I’ve never seen such –such beautiful shirts!” She smiled so blight and so sad. I think that she wanted to meet old him, so she was glad that he become rich, however, it’s sad that he has changed. And Gatsby was beginning to realize the difference between his imaged Daisy and his real one.

Later, Nick known about the past of Gatsby. Real name of Gatsby is James Gatsby, and he disliked his family that is poor. So he left home to new life for himself when he is 16 years old. He imaged that he become rich and lived in huge house. He wants to regain a past. Nick said “you can’t repeat the past.” This ward really got to my hearts. We only have one life, so I want to value my life.

The Great Gatsby -- week4

Hello! I’m continuing to read “The Great Gatsby”.

Gatsby is the main character of this book, and he is very mysterious man. There is not person who know his past. It is difficult to read mysterious book, but it is fun.

 

This week, I read to Chapter 8.

In chapter 7, Nick (he is narrator of this book) knew the mysterious past of Gatsby. Gatsby said, “I am the son of some wealthy people in the Midwest. They’re all dead now.” It is very sad story, he was lonely. And he raised in America but he educated at oxford. Also, all his family had been educated there. Next, Nick met a friend of Gatsby. He is Mr. Wolfsheim and he is Gatsby’s fellow worker.

 

Chapter 8 is my favorite. Because, the relations of Gatsby and Daisy become clear. One day, Nick and Jordan (she is friend of Daisy) had tea. And she told the truth as she looked. She was working on the street outside of Daisy’s house. And she saw her that morning, sitting in her car with a handsome army officer who is Jay Gatsby! Times goes by, she seemed to be engaged to a man, but she married Tom. She was crying at wedding day. And she said “Go and tell them Daisy changed her mind.” I like this line, because her hid feeling appears. After all, she married. However, she has met Gatsby now.

How will they heart change?

I look forward to reading a continuance.

The Great Gatsby -- week3

I am reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

I knew this book after I entered the DWC. I watched the part of the movie of this book by a class. And I had this story interest.

 

I have read the first five chapters. This story was spoken by Nick. Nick was born in a rich house, and he joined the army to fight in WWⅠ. When he returned to America, he decided to become a New York stock broker. And he moved out to the East Coast in1922.

 

My favorite character is Daisy who is a cousin of Nick. Also, her husband is Tom. Tom is rich people too. In addition, he has a lover. Nick thought Daisy should leave Tom forever, but Daisy didn’t seem to think that was necessary at all. If I were Daisy, I couldn’t stand his flirtation, so I respect the strength of her heart.

 

Also, I had favorite scene. It is the scene where Nick takes a break after Tom and Daisy advised to marry a woman who is Daisy’s friend. Nick sat outside for a while and look at the night sky. When I have some troubles, I like looking at the night sky, because I felt refreshed.

 

Gatsby just still came out, because I have read only five chapters. Now, Nick and Daisy’s friend who is Jordan participate in the party hosted by Gatsby. And Jordan knew the secret of Gatsby. I’m looking forward to reading a left chapter.

 

Thank you for reading my page.

And I'm looking forward to see you after GW.
