The Great Gatsby Pgs. 145-156

In these pages of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, essentially nothing of interest happens. We learn a little more about Gatsby's past, how he loves Daisy, and she loved him. While reading this section, I found myself just wondering what Daisy's decision would be. Fitzgerald writes " He couldn't possibly leave Daisy until he knew what she was going to do. He was clutching at some last hope and I couldn't bear to shake him free" (Fitzgerald, 148). From this quote it seems as if Daisy is going to choose Tom. I found this chapter had a tired feeling. I can feel the end of the story coming to an end. A decision will come soon, on who Daisy truly loves. I also wonder if Daisy will find out about Tom's mistress. I am waiting to see how this story will ultimately come to a halt.
