What I Was Thinking When Tom Came to the Garage with Nick

When tom came by the garage with Nick I was a little confused about why this Nick fellow was even there. Honestly, I was more concerned about when Tom is going to sell me that car of his. I find it a little strange that Tom is always around my garage, but it’s not like he’s doing me any harm. He’s just an honest man. It seems like every time he comes by Myrtle goes off to see her sister in New York, but that’s just a common coincidence, if that.

What I Was Thinking When I Told Myrtle I Knew

When I told Myrtle that I knew she had an affair I thought I could change things. I thought I could persuade her to come clean with it because even though I did not see what she did, God saw. She can’t fool him even though she can fool me and this would really get her to realize the true nature of her horrible actions. I told her God sees everything. I thought that maybe this would make her resent what she had done to me and to us. I thought this would make her apologize and set out to make things right.

What I Was Feeling When I Was Talking to Michaelis

When I talked to Michaelis after Myrtle died I was feeling all different emotions. I was so upset about losing Myrtle until I realized what was right in front of me. The evidence pointed to an affair. This expensive dog collar and the disappearances and even the way she died. I told Michaelis about my suspicions and my confrontation with her and this drove me to become even angrier. It was then I felt that I had to avenge Myrtle’s death and get back at the man that was cheating with my wife.

What I Was Feeling When I Talked to Myrtle

When I talked to Myrtle I was feeling very overwhelmed. I had just figured out these terrible things about my wife and, consequentially, about me. I did not know what to do with all of this. I felt like Myrtle must know she did not only let me down and that I am not the only one ashamed of her. God has seen what she did and he is ashamed too. I feel like she has disgraced herself as well as me and I don’t want any more to do with her.

Why I Shot Gatsby

I had no choice when it came to the matter of killing Jay Gatsby. This man had done terrible and despicable things and had to pay for it. He slept with my wife making me look like a chump for losing her and for not realizing it. He made an embarrassment out of me. Not only did he do this, but he killed her too. Gatsby was a murderer and an adulterer and those kinds of people do not deserve to live anymore. I took matters into my own hands and, as far as I’m concerned, did the world and civilization a great service.

Why I Killed Myself

I considered my plan as I was on my way to enact it. I knew I had to kill Gatsby and I knew that I was going to do it too, but I did not want to take the fall for it. Like I said, I wanted to be the one to do it, to be the one with the satisfaction of taking him out of this world, but prison would not be kind to me. I’m just an average ma, not rich, not poor, but nevertheless, prison conditions are not my cup of tea. I also think people take me as a joke not as a person. I was cheated on and lied to and have lost all respect others had for me. Therefore, I decided on the way to Gatsby’s house that I shall end my life after ending his.
