Homework: The Great Gatsby (Chapter 8)---Add another episode to Gatsby's memoir recalling how he fell in love with Daisy and how important she was to him and what she represented. This memoir was prompted by the melancholy and uncertainty he felt after his confrontal with Tom on a hot summer day in New York.
Daisy, was the first girl that I had known was nice. Before I fell in love with her, I went to her house with a large group of people from Camp Taylor, which was an army training camp. Then I went there very often by myself. There were several things that she had amazed me. Her house was beautiful, and comfortable, almost like a palace to me. Her gestures, voice, manners were of the aristocratic people's. That was so nice. I had never seen any girls with such respects. I could see those things in wealthy people. At that time, many other young men also liked her. In an October night, I asked her out, and that was our first dating. Two days later, I had her first kiss. It was a challenge to me to win her heart. In my eyes, no other women can replace her. That was why I tried so hard to look for her after I came back from the war. Her value never decreased from time to time. Now, I have to compete with a rich, powerful businessman. I have the confidence on this, because I believe Daisy never loved that man. I am the only one that she loves.
