"But it is terribly romantic he's waited six long years, almost like that book with the triple murdering or something... the Great Goose..."
"Great Gatsby...oh my heavens that makes me his Daisy!"
-"Work With me Friend," Anonymous
I read this from a fictional work online. The story was about a young lady who is married, and later finds out that one of her best guy-friends from college had a crush on her, and still does. She then talks about this with one of her female friends who compares her to the story of "The Great Gatsby." I remembered reading this quote after the poetry reading on March 17th. I wonder how chilling it is to actually be considered as, "Someone's Daisy," since she really is not the brightest or most complex character in the book. She's actually pretty shallow. It may be interesting to play around with Daisy's character in a contemporary setting and weave it into a poetic piece.
