So that was no surprise at all. okay i am joking i was pretty much shocked at Gatsby's tenacity. it doesnt really make sense that he flat out admitted his love for Daisy to Tom. i was expecting a full on fight after they admitted it all but i guess not. the death was a shock i didnt expect it then but i must point out that i was right about it being a lady that died haha Svoboda i win i was right. i say this like there was actually a competition but i am not aware there was one. thats okay cause i was right yee haw TALLYHO!! by the way i looked up the meaning for TALLYHO. any way back to the blog i was really confused that good old gatsby hid form everyone that didnt make much sense it doesnt seem like gatsby YOU ALL BETTER READ MINE TONIGHT!!!!!
I definitely was not expecting Daisy to kill Myrtle. The first reason for this was the look of hatred the Myrtle gives to Jordan thinking that it was Tom's wife. From this I thought that Myrtle would kill Daisy or Jordan by mistaking her for Tom's wife. Second, I thought that Daisy was far too composed to go and kill somebody. I was confused by Daisy killing myrtle in that Daisy has never met Tom's mistress, has she? Also, I thought that Tom might be the one to kill someone out of jealousy. Like Wilson so that he would not take Myrtle away of Daisy because she has been cheating on him. I was not surprised by the fact that Gatsby came out with this statement. This seemed like something that the confident Gatsby would not hesitate to do something this bold.
I was surprised when i read that Daisy had killed Mertyle. I never thought Daisy was the type of person that would do that. Even if she would do it I didnt think she was the type of person that could do it. She always seemedlike one of those people that just does what she is told and goes along with it. Her parents wanted her to marry Tom because they didnt approve of Gatsby. She has always seemed to just bey Tom and not make her own choices. It just really suprised me that she hit Mertyle. I thought all along that Gatsby was a bold person but when he told Tom that Daisy never loved him and then procedded to tell him that Daisy was leaving Tom for him, i was shocked. Even for being a person that makes bold moves, I thought that was a very risk thing to do. I was also suprised that Tom took what Tom said and didnt do anything. Tom seemed like one of those people that would go off and start a fight or something I thought but i gues not
I was not expecting Daisy to not reject Tom. I was expecting, however, that Daisy would confess her lover of Gatsby to Tom and then run away with him... somewhere. Also, Tom's reaction to the affair was much better than I thought it would be. My expectations of that particular scene were of Tom raging about, breaking things and fighting with Gatsby. After all, he did break Myrtle's nose. On the subject of Myrtle, I was surprised that she died, although I was more surprised that Daisy did it or that it was Gatsby's car that hit her. In some way or another I was expecting something to happen to Myrtle, although this I found quite unprecedented.
What the heck? Do rich people just think they can go around slaughtering people? I cant believe Daisy would kill Myrtle! She seemed like such a kind and innocent person....like Katie. Can you imagine Katie ever killing anyone? No. Exactly. Im shocked. Im also confused. So Daisy kills Myrtle because she is jealous of her affair with Tom. But why would she be jealous if she doesnt really love Tom? When you told us that someone would die, I was hoping it would be Tom. Or I figured that Tom would be the one doing the killing....since he is all phsyco and what not. Yes, I know, I spelled that wrong. Im not really surprised that Gatsby proclaimed his love for Daisy in front of Tom. He seems somewhat obsessed with her. I was surprised, however, that Tom did not slice Gatbys throat after he told him that. Again, Tom is physco. And again, I spelled that wrong. Sorry.
I was surprised only by the details of this chapter, not the events. I figured that there would be a death or two along the road, just because the situation sets it up perfectly. Jealous, greedy people will do a lot to get what they want. I was surprised though that Tom and Gatsby didn't take part in a little hand to hand combat. After i read the part where Gatsby confesses his love, i figured that somebody would open a can of whoop-booty. I was also surprised to hear that Daisy was driving the car that killed Myrtle, but i don't believe it. Because i dislike Gatsby, i have come to the conclusion that he was actually the one driving the car and he tried to take away Tom's love, just like Tom was trying to take away Gatsby's love. The whole situation reminds me of a high school, drama filled girl war. People are fighting through others, instead of confronting each other and solving the problem. Maybe we will have some more deaths and have somebody thrown into the river, wouldnt that be entertaining?
I really didn't expect Gatsby to just right out tell Tom about his love for Daisy! Also, the fact that Gatsby was talking for Daisy and telling Tom that she never loved Tom and only loved him, was very bold. Also, I can not believe how Mrs. Wilson died. Getting hit by a car? Wow. I can't believe that this was not prevented some how-why did Gatsby let Daisy drive to get rid of some steam? Really the whole incident was ridiculous. Also, why is Gatsby still so obsessed? I mean, she pretty much stated to him that yes she loved him all along, but she also loved Tom at some time. He still waits around her house until she goes to bed. The poor guy really seems to be confused or just headstrong, I guess, especially as we saw the image of Tom and Daisy talking together and holding hands at the table. That kind of tells us what will continue, but Gatsby still seems to think that she will get rid of Tom for him someday. I just don't know.
I was definitely not expecting the victim of death to be Myrtle. I thought that Tom would murder Gatsby or something cool like that! But I guess getting hit by a car is acceptable. I also didn't think that Daisy knew about Myrtle. Sure, she could have known that Tom cheated on her, but I didn't think she would know the actual woman. And it also takes a lot of guts to kill a person, and I don't think Daisy has that. I also didn't expect Daisy to sort of go back to Tom. Her and Gatsby had seemed like they were so in love! How could she go back to him after him being so unfaithful? It was good to hear that Gatsby was going to take the blame for Gatsby's death, though.
I definitely was not expecting Gatsby to spread everything out in the open like that. I was pretty surprised that Daisy snapped like that and killed Myrtle. I wasn't really surprised that it was Gatsby's car Daisy was driving, it was probably the only one she could get a hold of. Like Olivia said, Daisy's like Katie, you could never see either one killing another person or anything else for that matter. Although the quiet and collected are more likely to snap and go on a killing rampage. Just kidding Katie if you're reading this. Just don't kill me.
I think that the whole chapter was unexpected. I mean I even read Tender is the Night and you said they were pretty similar so that totally blew me away. The whole death thing was a huge shock. You said someone dies but I forgot and never thought it would be her. She doesnt seem innocent by any means but almost more out of the loup and like she wouldn't have much to do with the story. The other thing that suprised me was like the men fighting and then the sudden end to their arguement and then he let Daisy drive home with Gatsby... What in the world... It was all pretty crazy.
...gatsby to be such a jerk! when gatsby first reunites with daisy he is very sweet, but in this chapter he is forcing her to say that she never loved tom and always loved him. i thought that when the truth was revealed about daisy and gatsby, it wouldn't happen so bluntly. i was kind of hoping daisy would end up with gatsby, but now i really don't want her to be with either tom or gatsby. and of course the fact that gatsby and daisy are now murderers is quite shocking! i didn't really understand whether it was a complete accident or on purpose, but either way it's sickening. gatsby acts so nonchalantly about it. this guy went from being pretty likeable and fun to be being absolutely horrible.
Daisy was driving?!?!?! My frist guess at the killer was Tom, but then it didn't seem so shocking to guess that it was actually Gatsby, either. But Daisy? Poor girl. Now she has murder as well as love hanging over her head. Poor, poor girl. I can't believe Gatsby would be such a jerk and *force* her to admit her love for him in front of her husband like that. I can't believe that Tom was a jerk and had to keep tormenting her about it ever since he found out. Then he continued going on and on about it, totally ignoring her pleas to make it stop. Yeah, sure! He really loves her! (NOT) What a jerk. Gatsby's a jerk, too. I don't pity Daisy anymore. It's her own fault she's fallen in love with a bunch of jerks. And I can't believe Mr. Wilson locked up his wife (not that she didn't deserve it). Coming from him, that was another eye-opener. Still, that's it? That's the climax? Probably my biggest surprise is that; it wasn't that great or thrilling or twisted or anything. That's it? Wow...
First of all, I was definitely not expecting Daisy to kill Myrtle. She never struck me as a violent or vengeful person. It was also strange that Tom would allow Gatsby and Daisy to go back together alone after their confrontation, even if he was doing it to prove a point. During the arguement I was surprised by the assumptions that Gatsby made, like that Daisy never loved Tom and that she was leaving him. I don't think Daisy ever agreed to leave Tom. I was alos surprised that Tom didn't get violent, as he has already showed that it doen't bother him too much to punch someone, even a girl.
I was deffinantly not expecting Daisy to run over Mrytle and stay with Tom. I doubt that daisy would be okay with Tom running over Gatsby, so she probbly shouldn't have ran over Mrytle. I also think Tom will just find someone else now that Myrtle's gone. Is Daisy going to kill all of his mistresses? I also thinks that's awfuly low of her to break Gatsby's heart, and then let him take the blame. Right now Daisy and Tom seem like the perfect couple. They're both violent, and have no regard for other's feelings. At first I thought she should leave him, but now I realize she's as crazy as Tom, and above that Gatsby, although a creepy stocker, deserves better.
I am very surprised that she died. I mean I knew that someone was going to die, but I had no clue it was going to be murtle. It was really shocking. I think it is ironic that Daisy is the one that killed her, mostly because Daisy had no clue that it was Murtle that was breaking apart her and Tom's marriage. I however was not surprised that Gatsby wanted to take the credit for the accident. I know that he really does love Daisy, even if it is very weird. This chapter was the most entertaining so far.
