A simple dream of love began when a youthful Jay Gatsby met a young blonde who won his heart with her looks and charm until they were separated by war. One day in nineteen-seventeen, an 18-year-old Daisy Fay was in her white roadster in front of her parent’s gorgeous mansion with a Lieutenant from the local base. Little did she know, what life-altering actions she put in motion. The sight of Daisy made the Lieutenant fall head-over-heels for her. This Lieutenant was a young Jay Gatsby. After their meeting, Daisy called off working at the Red Cross making bandages and spent the day with Gatsby. With the War calling Gatsby over seas, he was forced to leave her in Louisville. She was so distraught about him leavi

Through the beginning to the end of Gatsby’s journey of love, he never wavered or faltered from his dream of being with Daisy and making her happy. Gatsby’s only desire since the day he met Daisy was to be a part of her life. He was torn from her by war and came home to nothing when she had left with a man who could support her.

The night before the wedding, Daisy had one last cry. She had a tantrum about Gatsby’s letters he wrote and how she wanted to be with him and not Tom. She held on to the letters until they were no more than a clump wet of paper in her hand. As Gatsby tracked her to Chicago, she had moved yet again. This time to Long Island, New York in an area called East Egg. East Egg was where the old money people who were cultured and educated lived. Daisy was made of old money and had a certain lifestyle she grew accustomed to. Tom was good for her because of his status and lifestyle, and not because of his love.
