Dear journal,
Have you ever judged someone before you became acquainted with them? Or perhaps you thought one thing, and that opinion completely changed after you found out the facts. These statements have been true with the recent events that have happened in my life. After having lunch with the Buchanans, I think Tom is an arrogant brute who abuses poor, delicate Daisy. I admire Daisy's sarcasm towards Tom in seeing that physical abuse would not work to her advantage, but mental abuse does. Tom expressed his violent nature again when he punched Myrtle, his mistress, in the nose. Daisy is sweet, and I am not sure I want her to be with Gatsby, whom I have mixed feelings about. At first I thought Gatsby was mysterious because I only saw him standing on his porch. After hearing rumors that he might possibly have been a German spy or a murderer, I became suspect to this criminal nature. Now, after meeting him and setting up a tea date so that him and Daisy could be reunited, I wonder what sort of business Gatsby has been involved in and is trying to involve me in. I also wonder if all the favors he does for people are done with selfish intentions, hoping that the favor will be returned. Gatsby is a smart, manipulative man. As far as Jordan, I am in love with her. She has been good company at Gatsby's parties and is not the gossipy, nosy woman I thought her to be at first. She also has great posture which I find attractive.
Sincerely, a confused and accidental judgemental,
Nick
