Gatsby Blog #3

The act of me running over Myrtle with the car was a drastic but necessary decision in my mind. I did this so Tom, my husband, would not find out about the affair that I had with Jay Gatsby earlier in the book. I also did this because I didn't want my relationships with both men to be ruined by Myrtle telling Tom about it. I did this because of many reasons some of which have to do with the affair and others just because of my relationship with Tom and how much I still wanted to keep that as a healthy relationship. This is why I hit Myrtle with her car.
