Dear Diary,
It all began so fast I didn't know what was happening. Gatsby and I couldn't see what was going on in front of us and once I heard the loud bang I just kept going because I was scared to find out what I had just ran over. As I was driving as fast as I could I zoned out. I can't even remember if Gatsby was talking to me I was so shook up that I couldn't even think straight. When I got home I ran to my room and laid down as I tried to think about what just happened. I don't know how to think or feel about what I am currently going through. Gatsby said that he was going to take the blame for the incident that just occurred. I don't want him to cover for me, this could end badly. It could ruin his life, his reputation and everything that he worked so hard to earn. I think Tom is starting to catch on to the relationship Gatsby and I  share, all because Gatsby can't seem to hide his feeling for me. I just don't know what to do with this situation because I care for Tom but I love Gatsby. Sometimes I feel like I don't know the man that I married, like when he talks bad about and to Gatsby. That's why I don't want Gatsby to stick up for me because it will just give Tom another reason to hate him more.  I mean wonder sometimes what is his reason against nice people like why does he treat people so cruel? Something needs to change because I am so over his attitude toward people. I think the reason I have such strong feeling toward Gatsby is because he cares and protects me like I'm the only person he's worried about. He is always so quick to do whatever for me and that why I couldn't let him take the blame for something that I did.

A.Throughout a previous chapter it stated how many rumors wandered around New York about Gatsby. In chapter 6 a reporter goes to Gatsby's mansion trying interview him to see which rumors are really true. In this chapter we lean about the early life of Gatsby and Nick's relation to the stop. The reporter found out that Gatsby's real name was James Gatz and was born in North Dakota, on a farm. He attended college at St. Olaf’s in Minnesota, he dropped out after two weeks, loathing the humiliating janitorial work by means of which he paid his tuition.  Gatsby got his name Jay Gatsby from a 50 year old man named Dan Cody who owned a yacht. Dan made Gatsby a personal assistant. Being able to traveling with Cody to the Barbary Coast and the West Indies, Gatsby was able fall in love with wealth and luxury. Considering that Cody was a heavy drinker, and one of Gatsby’s jobs was to look after him when he was under the influence A woman came on board one night in Boston and a week later Cody was died. When he died he left Gatsby a lot of money but he couldn't get it all because of Cody's mistress. This situation made Gatsby want to become a very wealthy and successful man.

B. The details about Gatsby and his early life differs from the rumors that had been said about him. The rumors made him look like a mysterious and devious man who may have killed someone. When he really was just a normal person who worked really hard to get to where he is today.

C. Gatsby changed his name Jay Gatz because he didn't want to remember his past. He changed it because he wanted to become a new person. He wanted to be known as a wealthy and respected man and he wanted a name that could represent that. Gatz was a poor man and wasn't popular and Gatsby is wealthy, who is widely known.

D. Tom doesn't like Gatsby at all. He acts like he has something against him. Tom thinks that the fact that Gatsby earned his wealth is something to look down upon. He is also jealous of the relationship Gatsby has with Daisy, all because he wants her to himself.

Chapter 2 The Great Gatsby

1. The valley of ashes is a place where New York City dumps their ashes from many businesses and is described as a desolate place. The symbolic nature is that there is a difference in the standard of living because the rich people and poor people were separated. The was the Valley of Ashes is described makes it appear to be a unlivable place but it is also described as a place where men and houses are. Doctor T.J. is a eye doctor who wants people from West Egg and New York City to have him as a eye doctor which made him put up a big billboard up along the highway by the valley of ashes as a way to broadcast his business to people.

2. Wilson is a blonde with blue eyes and runs a car dealership. He is described as a man who has  lifeless personality. Tom is suppose to bring or sell Wilson a car but is taking away for the car to get fixed and when Wilson comments on this, Tom treats Wilson like he is not important. Nick feels disgusted with the way Tom's behavior is toward people. I feel that Tom thinks he is better than everyone which makes me not like him as a person.

3. The symbolic significant of the dog Tom gives Myrtle is that he treats Myrtle like he would treat a dog like she needs him and can't live without him. He doesn't value her as a person, and looks at her like a child.

4.  The narration is spotty because Nick was drunk the whole afternoon of the party. Some pertinent details were:

• Company arrived: Myrtles sister Catherine, Mr. McKee
• Myrtle changed her costume and her personality to be more dramatic
• Catherine tells Nick that Myrtle can't stand her husband. Myrtle married her husband because she thought he was a gentlemen but she knows she made a mistake.
• Catherine was the only one not drinking because she felt the need not to
• Myrtle tells Nick the whole story about how her and Tom met
• Tom hits Myrtle because she keeps talking about Daisy and he doesn't like when she says Daisy's name
• Nick and Mr. McKee leave together
• Nick wakes up in Mr. McKee's bed and goes to Pennsylvania Station to wait for the four o' clock train   

5. The purpose of Chapter 2 is it explains who the characters are an introduces them. It explains the relationships between the characters. It explains how Tom and Myrtle met and shows Tom as who he really is as a person. He is a cheater and a liar and looks down on people. The chapter shows us that Nick doesn't really think Tom is a good person. It also shows us that Nick is easily taken advantage of, because of what happened after the party.
