To Hot For Summer

At this point in the book, I believe that Nick is in too deep. By too deep I mean that he has become involved in other people personal business. He can not say anything because it is not his place to say anything and he will ruin a lot of life's if he does so. 

Gatsby has built Daisy up to be this perfect girl he remembers before he left for the war into his fantasy. He has built her up so much that in reality she cannot uphold to his expectations. Gatsby thinks he is just going to walk back into her life, win her over from Tom, and they start a happy life that he has constructed in his mind. I believe that when Gatsby meets Daisy daughter, "Gatsby and I in turn leaned down and took the small reluctant hand. Afterward he kept looking at the child with surprise. I don't thin he had ever really believed in its existence before"(Fitzgerald 117), reality slaps him in the face. He is almost stunned that she is real. Daisy has mentioned her in the past but it is not until now that it is settling in with Gatsby.

Later on in the chapter, things get a little heater between everybody. Tom was suspicious about Gatsby and his wife in the previous chapter. Now he knows that there is something going on between them. Daisy basically comes clean when all of them are in the same room. Tom sends Daisy with Gatsby back to long Island to prove that even when Daisy is with Gatsby, she still comes back to him. Tom tells Gatsby to switch cars with him,  but Gatsby does not know that Tom says that to let him know in a way that Tom has power of him. Daisy is in the car with Gatsby and accidentally hits and kills Myrtle. In my opinion, I think Daisy hits her on purpose because maybe she secretly know that Tom and Myrtle is a thing. But at the end of the chapter, Tom and Daisy has settled their differences and Gatsby is left alone in the moonlight. I wonder if Gatsby fantasy will ever come true about him and Daisy.
