Why I broke up with Jordan
After Gatsby's death, I could not stand to be around the people I had become so close with this summer in Long Island. I met Jordan Baker for lunch, immediately finding that the beauty of her face did not distract me from the immoral world like it did every time I saw it before. To be honest, her mere presence was disturbing to me especially because she I knew she would continue to be friends with Daisy. Anyone who would maintain a friendship with the Buchanans would be no friend of mine. With the memory of Gatsby's pale, dead body still fresh in my head, I could no longer like Jordan the same way. I left that relatiosnhip without a single word exchanged about my move to the west for I thought it would be better to end it without the mess of confrontation.
