The Great Gatsby Chapter 8 Reaction

As always there is a lot that happens in this chapter. When Gatsby was waiting outside of Daisy’s house for a long time, which to me felt like a stalker and something you would get a restraining order for. I can’t believe that Gatsby can’t see that he doesn’t have a whole lot of a chance with Daisy anymore. She has learned so many bad things that Gatsby has done. I just don’t understand how Gatsby really wants to stay and try to win her over. It made no sense to me when Gatsby, who had never used his pool, suddenly wants to take a swim. It feels like to me that he just liked the idea of having a pool and needed a reason to keep the water in it. It was really weird how when George Wilson saw the eyes of the docter and thought that they were Gods, and then he basically went crazy and was going to kill the erson who killed his wife because that person is obviously the person she was cheating with. That seems very crazy and illogical to me, he can’t know that for sure, it is just out of blind rage. When he deduces that it must be Gats =by and goes and kills him, I thought that that was just a lovely scene (sarcastically). I can’t believe that George just shot Gatsby in cold blood.
