The Climax Great Gatsby response
During these chapters we see so much happening between Gatsby, Daisy, and Tom that it is almost scary. Along with the craziness of these chapters, Tom realizes the love between Gatsby and Daisy, then confronts Gatsby and thoroughly wins back Daisy. And then finally at the end of the chapters Daisy runs over Myrtle in a car, and Wilson thinks Gatsby did it, so at the end Gatsby is shot by Wilson, and then shoots himself. As you look back in the book there are some foreshadowing on the part of Tom winning back Daisy, because he had a feeling that Daisy was in love with another, and knew that he had to win her back. On the account of Gatsby being killed, I really did not see that coming, the fact that Myrtle died then Gatsby got shot, they both surprised me, because I had no idea tat Gatsby would die in that sort of manner.

I agree with you about the whole Gatsby getting shot by Wilson thing. However, I didn't see where Tom had a feeling that he would have to win Daisy back until her love for Gatsby was out on the the table (almost literally...). Other than that I do agree with the points you made and I like how you said that Tom thoroughly won Daisy back in the end. Good wording on this because it was pretty clear that Tom had done this when Daisy turned the lights off on Gatsby. Nice work Tony.
