The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Oh my goodness! something happened alright! A mysterious car wreck has happened at Wilson's shop. His wife is now murdered. George Wilson and Myrtle get into a fight and she runs from the garage yelling and screaming and then it was all over. The "death car" had taken her life and then sped off and left her mangled body lying there. It sounds disgusting.
I think it is so ironic that, as Tom, Jordan and Nick are driving by the garage, Tom says, "Wreck!..That's good. Wilson'll have a little business at last" (Fitzgerald 137). And when they stop he says excitedly that "There's some bad trouble here" (Fitzgerald 138). Little does he know that the girl he had been cheating on his wife with was brutally murdered in a hit and run accident. And then there is quite the twist that occurs. Turns out a witness says that the car that hit her was a big yellow car. My first thought was "uhoh Gatsby has a yellow car. Did he do it?" Turns out I was right. Like always. BUT Daisy was the one driving, not Gatsby. It was only his car. He says he will take the blame for it though. Which I don't know how someone can take all the blame for a murder. It takes a lot of love to do that.
My prediction is that Tom and Daisy will stay together so that Daisy doesn't get the blame for the death and Gatsby will take the blame out of love for Daisy. And then Gatsby will become and outcast and his fabulous life will be over.
