Love Letter From Myrtle to Tom
Dear Tom,
It seems to me that we haven’t touched in a while. A pity, since I miss you dearly. Wilson is being just a complete annoyance. I can't stand this dull marriage any more. I regret my marriage every single day. I thought he was a gentleman, like I have told you before. He is so cheap and a complete lie from what I had thought of him to be. Eleven, long lonely, trapped years of living in that garage with a man I do not love. It was you Tom, it was you who I fell deeply in love with.
I miss you, Tom. I miss the excitement, the passion, the romance we have. I love your generosity. That dog you bought me, Wilson would have never been so keen to my spontaneity. You accept me for the person I am. I may just be a mistress in your eyes, but in my eyes, I am your escape. Your guilty pleasure. To me, your big, open arms are my escape from my troubles. I love to get away from that horrible place. The city and all its excitement was meant for me. You were meant for me. You make me feel thrilling, and I feel alive when I am with you. Your big, tough nature. Your handsome features. Your toughness. It is everything I am attracted to. You may be a tad on the rough side on occasion, but I accept you for you. Your flaws are what make you human, and as a woman, I accept them completely. Oh, how I wish I had met you before my loaf of a husband. Take me away Tom. Leave Daisy and take me. Take me away with all the happiness you bring me. I love you.
Love always,
Myrtle

Digging Into Chapter 3: Passage 1 Response
"In his blue gardens, men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars"
In this passage, Nick observes the social interaction between the guests at Gatsby's party. By dissecting each symbolism, I reached a conclusion on the underlying meaning of the passage. The "blue gardens" probably indicates that it was at night when this took place, and the nighttime in the gardens could symbolize mystery and some fantasy at the party. When Nick says, "men and girls", it could also be a reference to how Nick might be sexist in saying that the women at the party are not as sophisticated as the men, so they are considered "girls." Also, the moths can be a reference to how the guests were not substantial creatures. They basically served to just feed on their "food", which in this case was "the whisperings and the champagne and the stars." Nick indirectly is showing how the guests were not "real" people and they just fluttered around to "survive" in the party. The meaning behind this image is actually not pretty or whimsical at all.

Just a few things about me
I love elephants. I'm scared of spiders and roller coasters. Math is my easiest subject but I hate it. I've never been to Disney World. Driving is so much fun. I can't wait to grow up, but I still want to be a kid forever.
