Daisy’s Retelling of About How She Met Gatsby

Joseph Ng

We met during the war in 1917. I was eighteen and Jordan was sixteen. I was (and still am) the prettiest girl in town. Gatsby came through one day and I saw him.  He was one of the better-looking people (however he wasn’t rich). I fell somewhat in love with him. There were rumors about us running away to get married in New York. That wasn’t true. I had a thing for him, but there was something about him. I knew he was rich, and I knew he was from Oxford, but t here was something about him I couldn’t get past. I still don’t know what it is. It still bothers me about what could have been. But then I met Tom. He’s somewhat overzealous and overbearing, but he’s a good provider.
