What I was Thinking when Gatsby and Tom were Fighting….


When we walked into the room, I was nervous because I knew that there was tension between Tom and Gatsby. Tom knew that Gatsby was in love with me. He could feel the love between us. I was scared of what was going to happen. I knew that Tom had not been faithful. He had other women so I did not know why I was still with him. It did not make sense. As Gatsby stared at me, Tom started to say things like “What is going on here?” Tom and Gatsby then began to start yelling and fighting. Tom then started to question what work Gatsby was in and how he earned his money. Gatsby then began to get very angry like I had never seen him before. He raised his arm like he was going to bunch Tom but, then calmed himself. I was so afraid of what to do so I ran. I wanted to avoid the situation as much as I could. I needed to go home and I wanted to be alone. I was more confused than ever. I had never seen Gatsby like that. Tom was trying to show me a point by getting under his skin. It just showed sides to them that I had not seen before.
