Blog 5, Chapter 8:

The main event in Chapter 8, is obviously Gatsby's death. Although it was a little but confusing to understand, Gatsby's death was really shocking. Personally, I don't think Gatsby deserved it at all. Although he was not completely innocent in the death of Myrtle, he was definitely not the one who deserved to die. It was also shocking that Myrtle's husband shot Gatsby, because out of anyone in the book, her husband seemed to be most grounded. Over all, this was a very shocking end to the book, I didn't like it very much. I would've liked to see Gatsby end up with Daisy, because he seemed pretty depressed without her and dedicated his life to trying to win her over. I predict that in Chapter 9, we will see Gatsby's funeral, which will prove who actually cared for him unconditionally which unfortunately, I don't think will be many people.
