What I was thinking when I told Nick to schedule tea with Gatsby and invite Daisy...

When Gatsby approached me at is party, I did not know what to expect; but I knew it was going to be good.  He had asked me if I would ask Nick to host a tea party and invite Daisy and him.  Gatsby knew that Nick would not know why he was asking this, but he insisted I do this for him.  So, that same night, I went up to Nick and told him what Gatsby had requested.  I did not what to expect out of Nick.  I think that Nick looks up to Gatsby and would not want to disappoint, so as I expected, Nick said yes.  He of course had a few questions to ask.  After I explained the whole scenario to him, we parted and I began to think to myself.  I did not understand why Gatsby had waited all this time to try to reconnect with Daisy.  Would Daisy even want to rekindle her love with Gatsby?  She seemed so happy with Tom.  he provided her with all the luxuries in the world.  He gave her the lifestyle she could not have with Gatsby.  They grew together as a couple.  Would Daisy be willing to give up everything she knew to start over with Gatsby?  She knew what her husband was like, and she knew he would not take this lightly.  Tom would do everything in his power to ruin anything that would happen between Daisy and Gatsby.  But, I believe that Gatsby had already thought of all the things that are currently running through my mind.  So, I guess it is worth it to Gatsby.  He must truly love Daisy because he is willing to put himself out there.  I respect him for doing that.  I want the best for my friend.  If it means being with Gatsby, then I am all for it.

What I was thinking when I saw Myrtle dead...

As I arrived on the scene, I was absolutely shocked.  I could not believe my eyes.  Who did it?  Was it an accident?  Why did this happen?  Part of me was relieved, not because I was happy she was dead, but because Tom could not longer hurt Daisy by cheating on her.  As I turned around, people began telling me it was a yellow car the struck her.  The only yellow car that crossed my mind what the car that Daisy and Gatsby were driving on their way home.  It had to have been Gatsby, but why?  Maybe he wanted to make Tom angry, butt hat does not seem like something he would do.  I do not believe he would take things to such an extreme level.  So, what if it was Daisy, what if she was driving the car?  She may have been all shaken up from the hotel incident, and she wasn't paying attention.  What if Daisy found out about the affair, and when she saw Myrtle she was possessed by rage and could not stop herself.  The ultimat...

Why I told Nick about Tom's love affair...

I trust Nick.  I know that I have not known him my whole life, or even for a long amount of time, but I know that he is a good person and a good friend.  I thought to myself, Nick is Daisy's cousin.  I feel as though he should know, he is the closest to her.  So, that was it, I decided to tell him.  I would tell him privately, I did not want anyone else knowing.  I also thought, maybe if he knew, we could do something about it.  One person would not be enough to persuade Daisy to leave Tom.  But two, two of the closest people too her, may be affective.  Nick was her cousin, she loved and trusted him, she knew he wanted nothing but the best for her.  I was her best friend in this crazy world we live in.  I trusted her and she trusted me.  I hoped that my opinion meant something to her.  I hated seeing her hurt, and seeing her hurt by her husband was heartbreaking.  I had to do something about it.  Nick may be my b...
