What was I thinking when I told Nick that Gatsby wanted him to arrange a meeting with him and Daisy


When I told Nick that Gatsby wanted him to arrange a meeting with him and Daisy, my mind was running wild. I knew this would surprise Daisy and she would be thanking Nick immensely. I knew Daisy had loved Gatsby before, and I think she could most certainly love him again. I don’t approve of Tom’s treatment and disloyalty to Daisy. I hope he doesn’t find out about the set up. I think I want her to fall in love with Gatsby and leave Tom. When I told Nick, he seemed all for it. I think he is going to set it up! Daisy is my very best friend and I want the best for her. I just hope Nick doesn’t get in trouble for setting this meeting up. I’d be devastated if Tom or someone else hurt Nick as a result of their insecurities. Gatsby talked to me about wanting to see Daisy in a manner that made me think he was the one for Daisy, not Tom. I realize now that Daisy should have waited for Gatsby to get back from the war. Even though Tom is rich and seemingly perfect, his affair with Myrtle is ridiculous. Daisy deserves better. I think she deserves a man who will love her and be loyal to her and only her. I think she deserves a man like Jay Gatsby. I hope Nick’s “tea party” with Daisy and Gatsby goes well.

  1. Initially I thought the reunion of Daisy and Gatsby was a good idea! I was on the same page as you, Jordan, and I thought arranging the meeting would be harmless. I had some doubts here and there but ultimately I didn't think much would come of it. I was completely convinced that Daisy would not still have the same feelings for Gatsby as she once did. She seemed happy in her marriage and after all she had decided not to wait for Gatsby. I didn't think her mind would change after one silly meeting. When they met, however, I immediately saw the feelings the two have for each other. I thought that maybe things could work this time. After all, Tom wasn't committed to Daisy so maybe this would be a way for her to finally leave him and have a happy life with someone who really loves her.
