What I was Thinking When at Gatsby's Funeral

When Jay Gatsby died I was not at my house. He had been murdered in his pool by Mr. George Wilson. Gatsby was killed because Wilson thought that Gatsby was sleeping with his wife when in reality it was Tom that was doing that. I was very angry to find out that Tom and Daisy moved right after Gatsby was killed and refused to even come to his funeral. It was hard for me to find many people that knew Gatsby. And I mean knew as in they were close friends or they knew what he looked like. In the end I couldn't get one person to come to his funeral. There was only two people at his funeral other than myself. His father who had flown in from North Dakota to see his son put in the ground. I was shocked to even see his father because Gatsby had told me that he was dead. The only other person that had come to his funeral was Owl Eyes who i had not seen since the first night I was at Gatsby's. He showed up to the Funeral late but at least he made an effort to come, unlike Daisy and Tom. I felt like a failure that I allowed Gatsby to go out with only three people to send him to the afterlife. But in my opinion it is partially his fault that he never made any other connections to people other than Daisy and I.

  1. Nick! I cannot believe you are choosing Jays side here! Me and Daisy were just looking for an escape from our past lives to develop our relationship! Jay Gatsby did everything in his power to take her away Daisy from me! Noone should have went to his funeral. He was a no good bootlegger with no respect for old money like mine. you should not choose his side. Im a good man Nick.
