The Tragic Event.

I can't believe I did it! I hit a lady who I believed was toms mistress. As I was driving back from the city of New York, well Gatsby let me drive, and this lady came onto to the road flailing and screaming for the car to stop. Maybe she thought it was some one else in the car and she knew them, but the only other person driving this car was Tom, Nick and Jordan and that was on the way to the city. Do you think they stopped because Tom wanted to say hello to his mistress. Then that moment I thought to myself, she thinks I'm Tom and she wants me to stop and pick her up. I was going to try and avoid hitting, i sincerely was wanting to not hurt her but then I thought of all the pain she has caused me just by taking tom away, calling in the middle of supper, keeping him from his little girl. The impact of her body with the car felt gratifying but at the same time horrible that at that moment I would be able to harm another human being. Gatsby tried to turn the wheel to make me avoid hitting her, but I did hit her and after I did I kept driving and didn't stop till I got back to the Sound.
“The God damned coward!” he whimpered. “He didn't even stop his car” (141).
