The Great Gatsby: Chapter 7

Analysis: Death
The Death of Wilson and Gatsby and Myrtle occur in this Chapter. Tom is driving Gatsby's car and goes to get gas so Mr. Wilson can have money. Tom offered to sell the car to Wilson so he could make some money but Wilson said no he wanted the other car. Then Tom and Gatsby get in an altercation involving Daisy and who she loves. Tom gets mad and tells Gatsby and her to leave and on the way home Daisy does a hit and run on Myrtle. This got Tom and Mr. Wilson mad and sad. A witness told them what color car it was and then Mr. Wilson remembered that it was the same as Gatsby's. This led to Wilson killing Gatsby because he thought he killed her and was having an affair with his wife. Then after killing Gatsby, Wilson then killed himself. Nick is one of the only people that actually feel bad for Gatsby, and Tom and Daisy said that he deserved it.

Song:
Puff Daddy "I'll be missing you"
Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show
I laced the track, you locked the flow
So far from hanging on the block for dough
Notorious, they got to know that

Life ain't always what it seem to be
Words can't express what you mean to me
Even though you're gone, we still a team
Through your family, I'll fulfill your dream
In the future, can't wait to see
If you open up the gates for me
Reminisce some time, the night they took my friend
Try to black it out, but it plays again
When it's real, feelings hard to conceal
Can't imagine all the pain

Give anything to hear half your breath
I know you still living your life, after death

I feel

Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I'll be missing you
Thinking of the days, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I'll be missing you

I miss you Big

It's kinda hard with you not around
Know you in heaven smiling down
Watching us while we pray for you
Until the day we meet again

In my heart is where
I'll keep you friend
Memories give me the strength I need to proceed
Strength I need to believe
My thoughts Big I just can't define
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Us in the 6, shop for new clothes and kicks
You and me taking flicks
Making hits, stages they receive you on
I still can't believe you're gone
Give anything to hear half your breath
I know you still living you're life, after death
