What do you think of this diary entry..??!!..for the great gatsby..?
The most amazing thing happened today. I simply can’t stop thinking about him. It’s been five years, “five years, next November” (chapter 5) according to Jay, since we last met. Oh! I can’t believe he lives right across the bay from my house. He said to me, “If it wasn’t for the mist we could see your home across the bay. You always have a green light that burns all night at the end of your dock.” (chapter 5) How romantic? He probably looked at the green light every night, knowing I was there, longing to see me again. Now, I’m going to have to look over at his beautiful house every night before I go to sleep. His house is simply outrageous! I’m truly deeply in love with it already. And how clever of him to give me this wonderful surprise. Though, it really wasn’t all that wonderful at first. It was really very awkward, but we got over that quickly. You see, dear diary, Nick called me up this morning and invited me over for tea. I was delighted, as he hadn’t called up in a while, and I was getting bored at home but then he told me not to bring Tom with me, and I knew at the spot that something was up. It had started to rain as I set off for West egg, and all the while I kept wondering, why on earth Nick wanted me to come alone. Ferdie, my chauffeur, stopped the car in front of Nick’s house and he came out to greet me. The first thing that I had to ask him was why he told me not to bring Tom, but he wouldn’t say a word and took me inside. That was when we heard a knock on the door and Jay came in. I looked at him and knew exactly who he was, thanks to Jordan’s description’s. He didn’t say anything at first, he just looked amazed to see me. Then he murmured something of an introduction. I really wasn’t listening, as I had to deal with my own emotions. I was so glad to see him, but it felt very weird to be around him after so many years. No wonder Tom wasn’t invited to this ‘little tea party.’ I was a bit angry at first, and I thought, really, Nick, what type of a women do you think I am? But I guess it wasn’t all that bad. What really amazed me was that Jay remembered me for all those years. He actually showed me some clippings about me that he’d collected. It made me feel so important. We were both embarred in the beginning, but once we got over that, everything was fine. Jay was simply beaming! He was obviously really glad to see me. He even invited Nick and me over to his house. It was simply amazing! I could write on and on about his house, it really was so huge, but I can’t see how he lives there all alone. He told me he keeps it full of “interesting people, night and day. People who do interesting things. Celebrated people.” (chapter 5) Well, I’d really like to go to one of his parties to find out for myself, they also ought to be really fun. Oh! What more can I say? This small phrase can sum it all up: It was simply amazing. It was wonderful, so romantic, I felt just like a rose shinning in a garden under the sun, even though it was raining the whole time.
