The Great Gatsby Chapter 7 Reaction

As always a lot of things happen in this chapter. When Daisy’s baby was brought out, I was surprised because there had been no previous mention to her baby that I can remember. When Tom and Gatsby argue, I felt that Gatsby could have and should have said a lot of things to win the argument. Also that I’m not sure where Tom got his facts, I don’t really trust him. I thought it was very stupid of Tom to send Gatsby and Daisy alone to Long Island because they have a past that Tom doesn’t know about. It was horrible to find out that Myrtle had been struck by a car. I felt even worse when I read that it was fatal and that Myrtle was dead. It was very brave, stupid and romantic that Gatsby was going to take the blame for the hit and run that Daisy had committed. When Gatsby tells nick to go and check on Daisy and he finds her and Tom eating cold fried chicken. I was wondering one why they were eating the chicken cold and why was Nick creeping around their house. It would have been pretty easy to go in and ask them how they were doing. I mean They don’t know that Nick had talked to Gatsby.
