New Ending of “the Great Gatsby”

NEW ENDING OF “THE GREAT GATSBY”

RATIONALE

The book “The Great Gatsby” was written by Scott Fitzgerald in 1925. It´s about a rich man, Jay Gatz, who gives parties every week to reunite with his youth´s love, Daisy Buchanan. She got married with Tom just after Jay went to the war. Nick Carraway is Daisy´s cousin and the protagonist, is the new neighbor of Jay Gatz; Jay was interest in Nick, to help Jay reunite with Daisy. Tom Buchanan has a secret affair with Myrtle Wilson; George Wilson is Myrtle´s husband and when he realized Myrtle is dead, he decided to kill the person who run over Myrtle, and Tom told George that Jay Gatz killed Myrtle, just because Tom discovered Jay and Daisy were having an affair.

I´m going to change the ending of this novel, and the point in which I´m going to start the new ending, is when Jay Gatsby “died” and everybody is shocked about Myrtle´s death.

The reason why I chose the new ending as a text type, is because I think I need to do something about Daisy´s and Jay romance, that can´t end in his death, they have to share together for the rest of their lives.

The style of the new ending, is just like the style of the whole book; an informal and common language. The new ending reveals what really happened with Jay and Daisy´s escape to another place to live together, and who helped them to escape, by faking Jay´s dead.

TASK

Tom said, that Jay Gatsby is the responsible for Myrtle´s death, so George Wilson decided to “kill” Jay Gatsby, for run over his wife. The thing that anyone knows, and that is very important to mention, to understand why do I had to put some fake tears on my eyes in Jay´s funeral; is that I found Jay Gatz alive, the night before Jay Gatz was going to be buried, he explained me the reason why he feigned his death, it was because Jay and Daisy were not happy with the person they married with, and they still love each other; so Jay and Daisy decided to scape to live together in Chicago, in a small apartment Jay has there; they planned to tell George Wilson that Tom is having an affair with Myrtle, to help them pretending as if George kills Jay, so Daisy and Jay can scape to Chicago, where Toms family lives and Daisy will tell some things to Tom´s family, to make Tom sorry for cheating to her. After helping Jay and Daisy, pretending Jay is dead, George decided to suicide because he thought that he have no reasons to live because her beloved wife was dead.
