What I Was Thinking When I First saw Gatsby

When I first saw Gatsby I had arrived home from dinner with Tom, Daisy, and Jordan. I had just got out of my taxi and had quickly glanced at Gatsby's dock. I saw him walking out to the edge of his dock and reaching out towards a green light at the end of Daisy's dock. I thought that he was on some sort of drug at first because I thought it strange to just reach over the bay like he was. But quickly I began to realize that he was reaching for something , or someone. He was reaching for Daisy, his future. I thought that he would surely notice me staring right at him as he did this strange act but he did not. I also remember that I thought it was none of my business in the first place but something about my neighbor drew me to him. There was something about him that made me want to be near him. Something that made me want to meet him. This original feeling about Gatsby is what drew me close to him in the first place. That is why I was so overjoyed to receive an invite to his extravagant parties.
