The Great Gatsby 100-180
Tom and Daisy show up at Gatsby's house for a party one night. Gatsby was unhappy because Daisy had an unpleasant time at his party. Gatsby wants things to be the exact same between him and Daisy before he had left Louisville. He wants Daisy to leave Tom for him. All he really wants is for Daisy to tell Tom that she never really loved him. Gatsby calls off all of his parties and fires all of his servants. Nick doesn't really know what happened until one afternoon he went over to talk to Gatsby. Gatsby had told Nick that Daisy had been spending a lot of time at his house and he didn't want anyone spreading rumors. One day when Gatsby was over at Daisy's house for tea, Tom figured out what was going on between them. They all go into the city for the day. Gatsby and Tom end up getting into a fight. Daisy tells Tom how she has never loved him. They then go back home and Daisy is driving Gatsby's car. On the way home, Myrtle Wilson runs in the middle of the highway. Daisy ends up hitting her. Daisy keeps on driving, but Myrtle dies instantly. Nick tells Gatsby to just give up on Daisy, but he refuses. Wilson was determined to find the owner to the car and he figured out it was Gatsby. He then went to Gatsby's house and found him floating in the pool. He then shot Gatsby, killing him, and then shot himself. Nick tried holding a big funeral for Gatsby, but no one would come except Gatsby's dad and a few other people. Gatsby's dad filled Nick on Gatsby's early life. Nick learned that Tom and Daisy are careless people who will never have negative consequences all because they have a lot of money to protect them. Nick decides to move back to the Midwest.
