In the great gatsby by F. scott Fitzgerald the narrator Nick Carraway says that Gatsby was alright in the end. I disagree with that statement not only because Gatsby died in the end, but also because he found out that his one dream was no more. Some people grow up wanting or dreaming about more that one thing, but Jay Gatsby was not like that he only wanted one thing which was to be with Daisy Buchanan. Throughout the novel as I learned about gatsby I found that everything he has done was for Daisy. For example, he got into illegal business so he make a lot of money, he bought a big house across the bay from Daisy's house, and he also threw big parties once a week so that hopefully one day she would come to one of them. Most of Gatsby's life has evolved around Daisy, in the end I think that is what made him not alright. Even though Nick thought what Gatsby was doing was a bad idea because he felt that you can not repeat the past, Gatsby was still persistent. He almost got what he wanted, he almost got Daisy. They were happy for a while until Tom Daisy's husband found out, and that's when everything took a turn a for the worst. It was the worst day in The Great Gatsby in my opinion it is when Myrtle got hit by the ''death car'' and Tom confronted Daisy and Gatsby and Daisy confessed that she loved both of them. That was when I knew that Gatsby was not going to be alright. It was then that I realized Daisy did not feel the same way Gatsby did. Then after that everything came unraveled. Myrtle died and George wanted revenge, and Tom gave it to him. Which led to Gatsby's death, but I believe that he was dead before George actually got to him. I believe that Daisy got to him first by not calling him. Because most of that day he was waiting for a phone call from Daisy, and when he realized it was not coming the world changed for him. For "He must have looked up at an unfamiliar sky through frightening leaves and shivered as he found what a grotesque thing a rose is and how raw the sunlight was upon the scarcely created grass." (161) Every thing changed for him at that moment, he saw the world with eyes that were probably betrayed. I do not think Gatsby stopped loving Daisy, but I think he got his heart broken. that is sometimes worst than anything. Maybe his death coming was a good thing, so that he would not have to go on with his life knowing that Daisy had not chosen him. I still do not believe that he was okay. Death is never alright, and to die knowing your one love has left you is sad. On the outside Gatsby seemed to have a great life, but internally he wanted more. In the end it was crushed. I would hate to die knowing that the thing I wanted most I was never going to get. That fact could make anyone not alright, including the great Gatsby.

06:43 am - My mom

Well she is back. I told her about Johnny, she said she did not know a Johnny. Will he certainly knows her or at least i think he knows her it sure seemed like it. I mean what kind of guy calls a number he does not know, and starts talking all nasty. I mean gross, but i am tired of thinking about that its just ewww, back to my mother. She is home and back to driving me crazy again. Drinking and all of that stuff talking during the movies and asking all irrelevant questions and stuff. I hate it, it annoys me to death and she is winy like she is the only single mom in the whole entire world because she is not. Ugh there are people in the worse situations than this but she does not care about that no its all about her. I hate having a Valley girl as a mom because she use to be rich she has to have the best and nothing is the best. So she is never happy and very hard to please. I do not care about that now though i gave up on pleasing her along time ago. I guess you can say I quit as a daughter not sure if you can do that, but i did.

06:33 am - Tonight

Who has a great relationship with there parents? I don't think ne one does. For me its different for everyone i guess it is different. Well my dad died and i am a bastard. Me and my mom don't get along at all i don't like her decisions or her. That seems mean i know it does that just how it is. I use to though I mean it wasn't always like this not at all. It started a while ago when i started remembering my child hood and everything i guess. That's not a good thing because now i am finally old enough to under stand everything. And tonight i just got pushed over the edge. She has friends but not normal friends because this guys was not normal at all. He called at 4:00 a.m. i hate it. He just starts talking not caring who he is talking to,  tell him my mothers not here he ask what i am doing i say "this is her daughter." He continues i hang up the only sane thing to do. He calls back doesn't he get the hint. i answer he ask for a favor that well lets just say he is horny. I mean what the hell how dare he how dare  my mom. just giving our number out why cant she just be a normal mom. i hate it i hate everything.
