What I was feeling when I asked Jordan to ask Nick to arrange a reunion between Daisy and I

I asked Jordan to get Nick to arrange a reunion between Daisy and I. I felt very nervous when I asked for them to set up the reunion. I couldn’t ask Daisy myself because I was too terrified that Daisy would say no to me. I don’t think that I could have handled myself if she had told me no. I just hope that Nick will agree. I have a plan to force Daisy to see me but I am just nervous because I am just hoping that it will work. I will not be able to sleep until I know for a fact that Nick agrees to my plan. Just the thought of being able to see Daisy makes me feel extremely excited but I just hope that I can see her. All of the emotions are just running through me. I love her so much and I want to be with her but I will have to start with just seeing her. If Nick says that he will arrange the meeting then I will be overjoyed. I might even get someone to cut his grass as a favor in return for arranging the meeting. I can not wait to see how it turn out but I am nervous about the outcome.

Why I Hide My Past

I don’t like people knowing my real past. If people knew the real past, they probably would look down on me and think that I am a criminal or make fun of me. My real name is James Gatz and I grew up in North Dakota. When I went to college at St. Olaf’s, I had to pay my own tuition. There was only one way to do it, I did janitiorial work at the school. That was extremely humiliating! I absolutely hated it! It was so embarrassing that I decided to stop and drop out of school. I never want anyone to figure out that I worked as a janitor in school so that is why I hide it. One day I met Dan Cody and warned him about a storm. He was greatful and took me on board as an assistant on his yacht and gave me the name Jay Gatsby. Cody was a drinker and he was drunk a lot of the time. I was working for a drunk and often had to take care of him. That would be embarrassing if anyone found out so I just keep it to myself. I made my money by bootlegging and other illegal activities. I don’t want people to know because they will accuse me of being a criminal. Because people don’t know my real past, it creates a mystery for other people and that makes them want to find out more about me. If I lie about my past, hopefully Daisy will buy it and be interested in me.

Why I Moved to West Egg

I decided to move to West Egg to live near Daisy. I hope that living near her will allow me to see her more often. I decided to move there to show off my wealth and hope that Daisy would leave Tom in order to be with me again. Living near her gives me the opportunity to get her to fall in love with me again because I can see her.   If I live near her then she will never forget me and I will always be a part of her life so she will eventually leave Tom for me because Tom is such a jerk. He is super aggressive so if I am around she will come running to me in order to get away from his aggressive and violent behavior. He actually punched Myrtle in the face and broke her nose. She will come running to me when she figures out the inner monster inside of Tom and living close will allow me to be the first person that she runs goes to for comfort. This is my plan for getting Daisy back and the reason for me moving to West Egg.
