As I read further into this novel, I was surprised by the fact that Gatsby was killed for a crime he did not commit. In the scene where Wilson is ran over, it was shocking to read that Daisy is the one who hit her. Daisy was under a lot of pressure and stress that night, and to add onto all the things happening that night, she accidently hit a person. What was even more shocking was that Mr. Wilson shot Gatsby because he was told Jay was driving the car. Tom was confronted earlier by Mr. Wilson about the accident and he mentioned Gatsby’s yellow vehicle. All the things that could have went wrong that night did go wrong. Almost all of these events were an accident and a misunderstanding, and the result was what was so shocking for me to read.
