Why I chose Tom over Gatsby
It was almost an easy decision yet it will always be the hardest decision of my life. It took a lot of thought but in the end I went with my gut feeling. I also thought about when Gatsby left for the army and left me. He left me here to pick myself up, to move on, and to find Tom and fall in love all over again. How would I know that Gatsby will never leave me? How do I know that his money will never run out and we will be left with nothing? I had to take all of this into consideration and decided it was best to stay with Tom. There was never a doubt in my mind that I loved Tom. Tom loves me even if we both strayed away to others, I know we will always find each other. Tom is stable because he has money, I know everything about him, and I need to stick to what I chose in the beginning. Gatsby is mysterious and I feel as if there is always something he's not telling me. I am not the kind of woman who can stay sane never knowing what his thoughts are or who he truly is. Tom is the right choice and I will not turn back on my promise.

You made the right choice Daisy. Jay Gatsby was a fake and a criminal. He managed to fool you, Nick, and Jordan, but I was too smart for him. I knew from the beginning that he wasn’t what he seemed. He even changed his name. I will forgive you for cheating on me, because you were drawn in by his lies, and you came back to me when it counted. We belong together. We come from the same world – a world Gatsby could never have fit into. He would have ended up in jail or penniless, and then where would you have been. Yes, you definitely chose the better man.
ReplyDeleteSo you gave up on a man that had nothing but love for you, but now you are back with the creep that has had multiple affairs with trash disgusting women? The same man that lied and caused the death of two men. I am disappointing in your decision. I hope you one day realize what a mistake you have made, but I also hope it's before this man has hurt you too much.
