What I Was Thinking When I First Saw Gatsby

I had just arrived home late at night from a wonderful dinner at the Buchanan’s regal home in East Egg. I was sitting outside in the dark admiring the night as I then caught a glimpse of a shadow appear at my neighbor’s impressive mansion. I could tell right away by his movements and gestures that it was the Mr. Gatsby, whom everyone admired. I thought it was very cool, but crazy to have laid eyes on Mr. Gatsby, since I had never seen him before. It was strange to see him outside all alone by himself because it was so late at night. I was in true amazement seeing Gatsby and I had a strong urge to approach him.  I really wanted to introduce myself and talk to him since Mrs. Jordan Baker had mentioned him to me at the Buchanan’s dinner. As soon as I worked up the courage to call for him, it seemed as if he was content and wanted to be alone at the moment. Gatsby proceeded to stretch his arms out towards the water in a very strange way and appeared to be shaking. I thought this was very peculiar and could not comprehend what he was doing. I was trying to figure out what was going on in his head and what he was thinking. I wonder what is Gatsby thinking about so intensely?  I then looked out towards the water to see what he was reaching for, but all I could see was the dark water in the distance and a green light. I then looked over towards Gatsby, but he wasn’t there, he had vanished in the darkness. I was very intrigued by the mysterious Gatsby and I knew then that I wanted to become closer and know more about the famous man known as the Great Gatsby.
