Gatsby

Chapter 7-Summary: Gatsby is upset that Daisy isn't showing up to any of this parties so he cancles all his parties because only reason he had them was so she would come. He also fires all his people so they don't spread anything around about him. After Gatsby does all this Nick takes a trip to East Egg to have lunch at Tom and Daisy's place when he gets there he finds that Gatsby and Jordan Baker are there as well. Then a nurse brings out Daisy's baby and Gatsby is very shocked to know that it is hers he thinks it is unreal. Daisy doesn't really seem to want to see her baby and wants to go into the city with Gatsby. They just can't hide their love. They all go into the city and decide to get a hotel. Tom then starts to call Gatsby a lying because of everything he has told them. They get into a fight over Daisy and about how she loves one of them and not the other. While they are driving back they find a fatal car crash on the road.

Response: I think Gatsby is doing a lot to try and be with Daisy. He has done some much to try and get her. He just thinks that she is the one and only. Tom thinks the same but hasn't done much for her because he isn't as popular and doesn't have the time of money Gatsby does. I don't think money buys love and Gatsby shouldn't lie to win her over. She should like him for the man he is.

Question: What all happened with the car crash?
