445 Words2 Pages

Hello, this is Tyler from The City news. Today we have some breaking news. Jay Gatsby and George Wilson have been found dead in the home of Mr. Gatsby. We believe that there might have been some ill intentions in this murder. A few days ago Myrtle Wilson was killed in a car crash. This car was allegedly driven by Mr. Gatsby who said that he was at fault for the accident. We believe this drove George Wilson to become upset at Mr. Gatsby and he wanted to seek revenge towards him. Mr. Wilson would have a very strong motive to hurt Mr. Gatsby, considering that Mr. Gatsby ran over his wife with a car. He also had claimed to know that his wife was messing around with a different man and could have assumed it was Mr. Gatsby. From what it sounds like, Mr. Wilson didn't have much to lose and was angry with Mr. Gatsby for everything to do with his wife. From the crime scene it looks like that Mr. Gatsby was by the pool when George Wilson came by and decided to shoot Mr. Gatsby. When he shot Mr. Gatsby, he was …show more content…

Gatsby will be known as a different man to different people. I think to most of the celebrities out there that Mr. Gatsby will just be known as a man who threw parties and wanted people to have fun. We got to interview Daisy Buchanan, who was a neighbor of Mr. Gatsby, and she had this to say about Mr. Gatsby, ¨He was such a wonderful man. He was the man that I fell in love with and who I wanted a future with. He was always there for me when I needed him, and he was so patient with me. He watched me get married to another man and still would love me every single day. I am going to miss the man that he was and the love that we had with each other.¨ While the majority of people just know Mr. Gatsby as an ex military man who lives in a big house. I am glad we were able to interview Mrs. Buchanan about this man, because we got to see who he truly was as a person and the man that people are going to miss. Thank you this is Tyler from City News signing

When I finished reading The Great Gatsby, there was a question that lingered, and that question is: Who is responsible for Gatsby’s death? George Wilson has to be the most responsible; he is the one who ultimately pulled the trigger and kills Gatsby. Everyone else had a part to play, but their role in the death is ancillary, related to the cause, but not the primary cause. Some say that one character can’t be held accountable for Gatsby’s death, it has to be multiple. As I said before, I believe this isn’t true, and that George Wilson is responsible.

Based on popular belief, George Wilson directly caused Jay Gatsby's death because he shot him due to mistakenly believing Gatsby was responsible for the death of his wife. Nonetheless, it would not have come to this without Tom’s power to manipulate and deliver improper information. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald illustrates the distinctiveness between the two men: Tom is cunning, rich, and deceitful while George on the other hand is meager, incompetent, and easily controlled. Nevertheless, Tom has Gatsby’s blood on his hands.

While their love story didn’t turn out the way anyone wanted, he was still in love with her from the moment he laid eyes on her to the moment he took his last breath. He had an obsession with her that many would call scary, but I believe otherwise. He was the most loyal and dedicated man I ever met, even though I was just an employee. Throughout his life he went through a lot of ups and downs, nothing was handed to him, he had to work for everything he was given, yet, that never stopped him from achieving the best. While Gatsby had a lot, and gave a lot in the lines of business, his parties, his home, he was still one of the most humble men you would ever meet.

Mr.Wilson has many character negative traits toward all the people in the movie “The Great Gatsby”. The character traits that I have found about Mr.Wilson are that he is Intimidated by Gatsby, has a wife that is cuckold toward him, and he is oblivious to what is happening around him with his wife “Myrtle” and Tom. Mr.Wilson is intimidated by Tom because he knows that she wants to be rich and have nice things that he is unable to afford. One moment in the movie “ The Great Gatsby” when Mr.Wilson was intimidated by Tom was when he came to get gas and secretly talk to Myrtle. When Tom and Nick walked in Mr.Wilson looked unpleasant when he saw Tom and was embarrassed when he had to ask if or when the car would be ready because he had no money

However we see the real Gatsby, a man who respects his peers and treats them with kindness. Also seeing it through his peers' eyes, and how they view him.
