Tom's Feelings
Daisy and I decided to attend one of Gatsby's parties tonight. This will be the first time that both of us have ever attended one of these famous parties. As we walked in, I was flooded with emotion. I saw so many faces with happiness flooded all upon them, but I did not feel any of that joy. In fact, I wasn't amused by this party at all. We converted with Gatsby for a bit, and then he left to attend to his party as I would expect. He obviously is slightly showing his emotions for Daisy, and that begins to fill me with anger. Daisy is my wife. Yes maybe I am not the best husband to her at some points, but she loves me, and I love her. What continued to bother me is the people I see attending this party. How many of them know who's party they're attending. When I say this I mean who of these people know who the real Gatsby is. How many of people know how he got his money, how many of these people know what his past is, and if he actually has as much honor as these people think he has. His honor is only based upon the amount of money he has, which he tries very hard to show. Anger fills my heart towards Gatsby, and disappointment fills my heart for those who are here who know nothing of Gatsby but his parties. Daisy slipped off with Gatsby and that gave me a feeling of doubt. Does my Daisy actually have serious feelings for Gatsby? Do I actually have to worry what she is up to when she disappears with him? Do I have to be concerned for the amount of times Daisy has gone off for the day for the fact that she might be with Gatsby?
