ESSAY
CLAIMS
Gatsby's death loudly marks the end of an era.

Gatsby said, “Anyhow - Daisy stepped on it. I tried to make her stop, but she couldn’t so I pull on the emergency brake. Then she fell over into my lap and I drove on” (Fitzgerald 154).
LOGICAL SEQUENCE
The death of Myrtle led to the death of Jay Gatsby
Wilson came to Gatsby's mansion and shot Gatsby, and then he also shot himself.
STEP: Outline
First paragraph: Introduction
The Great Gatsby is a story that tells about the American dream in 1920s , and the unhappy marriage that lead to the affairs beyond marriages, the final consequence is Gatsby is shot by Wilson.
Informative sentences
Daisy did not stop her car that hit Myrtle, and she died right away. The way that Daisy chose to killed Myrtle shows us that she is very heartless, she killed Myrtle by hit her car to Myrtle because she knows Tom has an affair with Myrtle. The death of Myrtle led to the death of Gatsby, that reflected the main cause of the deaths are money in the relationships, that make their marriage become unhappy. And the final reason I think related to Gatsby’s death is people chose the wrong ways to resolve the conflict happening between them.
I do not agree with the way people look at life in 1920s, that caused many problems due to money.
Body Paragraphs
Firstly, Daisy killed Myrtle Wilson because she knows Tom has an affair with Myrtle. When Daisy, Gatsby, Nick , Jordan and Tom were at Tom’s house for lunch, but unfortunately the weather was so hot so Daisy suggested they go to the town for lunch.
Secondly, the death of Jay Gatsby is caused by the death of Myrtle before. After Wilson knew that Myrtle died, he asks Tom the address of Gatsby’s house. Wilson came there and shot Gatsby, and he also shot himself.
Finally, I think the way to prevent the death of Jay Gatsby is Daisy should not kill Myrtle, they should tell the truth about their affairs that would help they understand what’s going on, and find the best way to solve the problem.
Conclusion
Daisy deliberately killed Myrtle when she knew that Tom has an affair with Myrtle, that shows us Daisy is heartless. The death of Myrtle led to the death of Jay Gatsby. And if Daisy did not kill Myrtle, everything would be different that could prevent Gatsby’s death.
In conclusion, I do not agree with way people look at life in 1920s, that caused many problems due to money because it caused a tragic ending in the story, the death of Jay Gatsby.
