Blog 4, Chapter 7:
In Chapter 7, the biggest dilemma that presents itself, is the competition between Gatsby and Tom. As Gatsby and Tom spend more and more time together, many arguments arise. In Chapter 7, they fight over Gatsby's true background and whether he went to Oxford or not. Gatsby and Tom's competition for Daisy also becomes more open as tension rises. Gatsby is clearly in love with Daisy and tries to win her over as Tom tries to keep her back. Tom also becomes pretty aggressive as his situations in life seem to get worsen in every aspect. For example, he learns that his mistress is planning on leaving and going west with her husband, and Tom will be left with his wife yet again. Tom's love life is spiraling down as Gatsbys' seems to possibly be improving with Daisy. I predict that in the near future, Daisy will leave Tom finally, and be with Gatsby. I also predict that things will end very badly for Tom as he starts to lose everything that was once his. I am excited to read the ending of this book!
