The Great Gatsby




I know its in revverse from the book but it was the best female and male fight i could find. The image is supposed to symbolize when Tom Beats Myrtle. Starts put just like the book though it was love and passion at first but then fighting. What went from a good time turns out badley when Mytle brought up Dasiy's name. You see Myrtle pulled her chair close to Nick. She started on how she and Tom met and then she said something about his wife Dasiy and he wouldn't have it. They went into the kitchen and they talked impassionately. Tom said " You are never to say that name." and Myrtle replied with " Dasiy Dasiy Dasiy I'll say that name when ever I want Daisy Da..". Right then and there Tom went mad and brike her nose. This could have been avoided but Myrtle had to bring Dasiy in to it. Its like her mood changed when she changed clothes earlier that day. She became very beligerent and you could see and hear it when she spoke to everyone. This might have also been brought on by the drinking we did earlier that day. The fight itself was around ten o' clock when Nick checked his watch when he thought it was nine o' clock .
In the novle The Great Gatsby two important characters are Tom & Dasiy. Tom & Dasiy are married to each other and they live on East Egg. Even though they are married they are not happy. As it is Tom is having an affair with another woman. The other woman is Myrtle. Myrtle is married too. She is married to Wison but she hates him. Myrtle and Dasiy are very different in theses ways.
Dasiy is very beautiful. She also very in shape & very skinny. Dasiy is a fun, outgoing, & happy person who is very socianle & likes tohave a good time. When growing up she met a man who she fel in love with whom is Gatsby. But saddly she ended up with Tom who she regrets marrying. Dasiy knows that Tom is cheating on her but it doesn't seem to bother her. Another thing about Dasiy is that she is a good person in the sense that she is not greedy & apriciates what she has in life.
Myrtle on the otherhand is the complete opposite. Myrtle is short & stout. She ischeating on her husband, unlike Tom and Dasiy's relationship where Tom is the one cheating. Myrtle can be very sneeky when it comes to cheating. Another bad quality that Myrtle has is that she also likes to be spoiled by Tom, who will buy her anything she wants. The only reason Myrtle married her husband is because she thought he was something. But since she found out that he rented his tux for thier wedding she has resented him. Thus, Dasiy and Myrtle are different in these ways.
