What I was feeling when I attended one of Mr. Gatsby’s parties….

I finally went to one of the famous parties at Jay Gatsby’s house.  At first, I was very excited about going.  Jay told me that he had all those parties just because he hoped they would help him to find me.  That makes me feel so special.  He went to all that trouble and expense just for me.  What girl wouldn’t love that!  Of course Tom didn’t want to go, but he agreed to go with me when I begged him.  Talk about a letdown!  I was so disappointed.  It was like a circus and not at all like the parties that we generally attend.   I felt out of place and silly being there.  The guests were low-class, and it was too loud for my liking.  It looked like Jay was trying to show off, and I was embarrassed for him.  I don’t want to be around those people again.  I don’t intend to go to anymore of Jay’s distasteful parties.
