The Great Gatsby

I really loved reading the Great Gatsby. As odd and twisted as some of it was, there was a touching love story that definitely stood out for me. Gatsby's determination to get Daisy back completely melted my heart.


Gatsby molded the person he became according to the person he thought Daisy wanted him to be. He tried every way possible to get Daisy back into his life. Finally it came down to one, Nick. Gatsby threw huge parties all the time just hoping to catch a glimpse of Daisy wandering around, but he never did. He skimmed the paper everyday hoping to wander across her name, but never did. Finally, Daisy's cousin Nick pops into the picture. At last, a glimmer of hope.
At Gatsby's request, Nick invites both Gatsby and Daisy over for tea. Not knowing that Gatsby is attending Daisy comes into the house and out of the rain. What she is presented with is completely unexpected.


This is my favorite part of the book. Probably because I'm a hopeless romantic. I live for a dramatic reunion. After this I was hooked, when I think about the emotions and thoughts going through their heads I cringe.
