The Great Gatsby Character Analysis

First Entry:

Today I went to have dinner with my cousin, Daisy. I hoped that dinner would lead to a friendship with her and her husband Tom, as I do not know anyone here. I wasn't able to make a connection with them either though. When I arrived I met a woman named Jordan who explained to me that Tom was having an affair. I realized I was wrong to expect to fit in, for the rest of the evening I was repeatedly reminded of this. Despite my best attempt, I still have not made a connection with anyone here yet. When I retuned home I saw Gatsby outside his house looking at something in the distance, I think it may have been a little green light, he looked like he was trying to reach it, but it was very far and there was no way for him to get to it. I wonder if Gatsby is any more normal than the rest of the people I have met here so far, maybe I will try to talk to him sometime and see if I can finally make a friend.

Second Entry:

Today when I was riding the train with Tom, he made me get off at one of the stops in the valley of ashes the train goes through on its way to the city. It's an awful place where all the ashes from the city are dumped and I didn't understand why Tom wanted us to get out there. We left the train and Tom led me to George Wilson's Garage, I met George and his wife Myrtle. Then when George left the room for a moment Tom told Myrtle to get on the train behind him. I realized that Myrtle was the woman Tom was having an affair with. Myrtle told George that she was going to visit her sister in the city and we left. Myrtle rode in a different car to seem less suspicious. When we arrived in the city, Tom took me and Myrtle to an apartment he has just for the affair. I was curious how George was able to believe that Myrtle was visiting her sister every time Tom came to the garage. When we got to the apartment Myrtle's sister and a couple from the building came over and we had a party. I got drunk with all of them and had a pretty good time. Then Myrtle began to talk about Daisy and yell her name over and over. Tom became very annoyed and when Myrtle refused to stop, he hit her breaking her nose. I left soon after to return home.
