How To Write A Summary Of A Day Of George's Life

Another drastic situation created by Daisy arises. However, she does not have to deal with the consequences of it. Myrtle’s husband sees Gatsby in the car, and makes the assumption that he was the one having an affair with Myrtle, which is why she would run into the street to leave her husband and be with the man in the car. Instead of owning up to her mistake, Daisy allows Gatsby to willingly take the blame for Myrtle’s death. When Nick asks if Daisy was driving the car, he replies “‘Yes, but of course I’ll say I was’” (Fitzgerald 137). This causes George Wilson to kill Gatsby, an innocent man, because of the assumption that he was the one who killed Myrtle and had an affair with her. Through all this, Daisy never confessed to being the person behind the wheel of the car and Tom never confessed to being the man who Myrtle was a mistress to. After this incident, Daisy and Tom packed their bags and moved to the Midwest, avoiding the problems they created yet

George is guilty of murder because he kills Lennie. He has no solid reason to kill Lennie. Even though Lennie does many things wrong he does not know any better, “Lennie’s big fingers fell to stroking her hair… Lennie had broken her neck” (88-89). George is an evil, immoral, sadistic person who needs to realize that not everything in life is going to be easy and that he needs to learn to cope with difficulty in life. George is nowhere near innocent because he kills his best friend and does not do it for a good reason. Even though Lennie is killing people and animals that is not a good enough reason to kill someone.

Myrtle Wilson, the wife of George, and the lover of Tom Buchanan, is brutally murdered toward the end of the novel. After an uncivilized afternoon in New York, Daisy and Gatsby head swiftly back to East Egg. Gatsby explains to Nick, “It all happened in a minute, but it seemed to me that she wanted to speak to us, thought we were somebody she knew” (Fitzgerald 109). Myrtle ran out toward the car looking for Tom but sadly for her it is not him. Many know about Tom’s affair, but not with whom he is having it, especially Daisy. Daisy never slows the car down, and she never realizes who she hits. This shows that Daisy is oblivious to Myrtles existence. Myrtle is sleeping with her husband, she ruins their marriage, and Daisy kills her. The irony exists in this because Daisy actually saves her marriage by killing

Tom told George, Myrtle’s husband that it was Gatsby’s car that hit her. So George, seeking revenge, killed Gatsby.

Tom, Nick, and Jordan arrived to Wilson’s Garage Myrtle had already been killed by the car. When Tom saw that his mistress had been killed he was distraught. When he was “comforting” George, he was really manipulating him into killing Gatsby. Before he goes to kill Tom, he thinks that the yellow car that killed Myrtle was Tom’s. “‘How do you like this one?”’ inquired Tom. “‘I bought it last week’” (Fitzgerald). Tom made Wilson think that he owned the yellow car. But when the yellow car was used to kill Myrtle, Tom’s story completely changed. When George goes to kill Tom, Tom tells him “I was bringing you coupe we’ve been talking about. That yellow car I was driving this afternoon wasn’t mine - do you hear? I haven't seen it all afternoon”(Fitzgerald). He then proceeds to tell George that Gatsby owns the yellow car. Which in turn causes George to want to kill Gatsby. Tom not only used his words to manipulate Tom, he even had a plan from the beginning to kill

Tom physically hits Myrtle and in him doing so, we see that he has anger issues and not much self-control. Tom uses his reputation and his standing in society to push people around and into doing things the way he wants them done. In this mentality he believes he can have whatever he wants, without there being consequences or problems for others. George on the other hand, is also a violent man, but his temper can be hard to control and he’s basically a ticking bomb. George becomes tired of people treating him like a “lower class”, so eventually he loses control of his of his anger, and has consequences to face for it. George always has to face consequences, while Tom on the other hand is able to just walk away from it.

In this chapter, George becomes extremely ill because he figured out Myrtle has been running around with another man. In the passage it says, “He had discovered that Myrtle had some sort of life apart from him in another world, and the shock had made him physically sick.” George became very sick just from finding out that his wife has been running around, thus when she is dead he will most likely fall to depression due to his emotional attachment to her. Later on readers learn that Wilson had become increasingly sick right before Myrtle’s death; therefore, making his death from depression more emanate. In addition, after her death Wilson is extremely upset which is shown by, “At first I couldn’t find the source of the high, groaning words that echoed clamorously through the bare garage — then I saw Wilson standing on the raised threshold of his office, swaying back and forth and holding to the doorposts with both hands.” Wilson was almost overly attached to his wife; therefore, her death will most likely lead to depression and his death as well. In conclusion, based on George Wilson’s actions in chapter seven I believe he will try to find and kill the murderer, as well as die before the end of the

After her death, George is devastated and starts to go crazy. Because of his love for Myrtle, he enters a mental state that is only concerned with avenging her death. George confronts Tom, but Tom convinces George that the person truly responsible for Myrtle’s death was Gatsby. George believes Tom and travels to west egg where he shoots Gatsby and himself. Tom’s actions are another example of the rich being careless. He knows that George about to do something dangerous and desperate, but instead of trying to defuse the situation, he merely redirects the aggression towards Gatsby. Tom shows his belief that he was justified in sending Wilson after Gatsby when he tells Nick, "What if I did tell him? That fellow had it coming to him. He threw dust into your eyes just like he did in Daisy's, but he was a tough one. He ran over Myrtle like you'd run over a dog and never even stopped his car.” As a result of Tom’s careless actions, two more people die, and Tom leaves the mess for other people to clean

At this point in time George is still acting as if everything is fine and that their friendship is as strong as ever. George having the gun tries to shoot Lennie many times before he actually does so, “George raised the gun and his hand shook, and he dropped his hand to the round again.” He cannot bring himself to do it as they’ve been friends for so long. Loneliness rules the end of the novel as George had been a character with support throughout the novel but now he has murdered Lennie and therefore he doesn’t have someone he can properly trust. When the workers find George they assume that he got the gun off Lennie and shot him in self-defense so only Slim really knows what has happened. Slim is the only one that really understands the friendship between George and Lennie and this is significant at the novels ending, “Never you mind. A guy got to sometimes.”

There have been several tips called in about seeing George, but they went no where as well. At this point, we know that George wasn’t the best person, but this doesn’t mean he deserved to be killed. George had many enemies that would’ve had motive to cause him harm. A few days before Georges last appearance, him and Josh Ramirez got into an altercation. He was also one of the suspects that bragged about killing George to The Findley’s. Even though George and Ian were best friends at one point he still had motive to kill George. Ian bragged to a man named Jun Ho about running over someone that was assumed to be George. Muir Stuckey also had motive to kill George because he was assumed to be having an affair with his wife Rodonna and his daughter Celia. Rodonna also was told by Georges old girlfriend that he was shot in the head. During March, Georges car was found on an Evergreen exit and was eventually towed to a wrecking yard, but all his belongings were not in the car. Almost all our suspects are in the Bloods Gang. George was in East Side Piru for a while before he got out on bad

Fitzgerald uses George to show the faithful and compliant side of man but can get angry very fast. When Nick and Tom go to George’s garage, George’s wife ignores him in total except to ask him to get a chair. His response is “Oh sure,” without hesitation (Fitzgerald 26). This shows how he is complaint and how faithful he is. He doesn’t say anything of how his wife walks right past him like he’s invisible and he does what she asks with no thought. George is also a strong believer in God and the only character who is. When Michaelis and George are talking about why Myrtle ran into the street, George

Two hours after George killed Lennie, George was at the bar with Curley and Slim to get a drink, and the three began talking about Lennie, making George start to think if he had done the right thing by shooting Lennie in the head. After the three left the bar, George walked out onto the street and saw Curley's wife walking down the street. George decided to shrug it off and told himself that it was all part of his imagination, and George returned to his house. Three years later, George had built the house by the lake that Lennie had wanted, and George had buried Lennie's body in the backyard. Later, George had decided to go to the bar to get a drink, when he got to the bar he saw Slim and Carley, and Curley's wife all talking with each other. When the group saw George, he was in awe "I thought that Lennie killed you..." he said to Curley's wife, Curley replied excitedly "Nope, i'm not sure how but she is alive!" George was still confused, then Slim said "Stop asking so many questions and come have a drink" George had then began thinking about how the only reason he killed Lennie was because Lennie went too far to save by killing Curley's wife. After that, George had began disconnecting himself with the rest of the group because he had become depressed after he had learned that Lennie wasn't a murderer. Just as George was thinking about how he shouldn't have killed Lennie, he heard a knock on his door, and he went to see who it was, Curley's wife was at the door with Slim, and both were looking sad. George had opened the door for them, and said "What happened?" Curley's wife looked back at him, and informed him that Curley had been murdered. George beckoned the two inside is house, and said "Come in, do either of you want anything to drink?" Curley's wife shook her head Slim walked her inside. The three sat down at a table in George's house "Tell me what happened" George said nervously, Curley's wife replied, "I was having an argument with Curley and he had gotten angry and stormed off, later, when i went looking for him, I found him in the ranch, with an axe wound in his head." Curley's wife started crying and Slim looked at George, "She came to me and told me the story, then asked

Myrtle is the fourth person responsible for Gatsby’s death. If she was not having an affair with Tom then none of this would have happened. Myrtle was taking advantage of her husband’s kindness and his lack of intelligence, “A white ashen dust veiled his dark suit and his pale hair as it veiled everything in the vicinity-except his wife, who moved close to Tom” (Fitzgerald 30). if her affair with Tom was non-existent then George would not have known who Gatsby was and he might not have shot him to avenge his wife’s murder. If Myrtle had not run in front of the car that she would still be alive and so would Gatsby. She could have just waited until the next day to see Tom she did not have to run in front of his car.

George is in some danger of being charged as an accessory to second-degree homicide. He told Lennie where to hide if he got into trouble. If he tried to help his friend escape, he would definitely be an accessory to murder. George is also potentially in double-trouble. Curley suspects him of helping Lennie escape and telling him where to go. The police could arrest George just because he was a friend of Lennie and was responsible for Lennie's behavior. If they couldn't catch Lennie they might turn on George--either the lynch mob or the police, or both. After all, George was not responsible for what Lennie did in the town of Weed, and yet George's life was equally in jeopardy. George is getting fed up with being tied to an irresponsible man who could get him killed. Many of us have had the experience of deciding to break off relations with a friend who keeps causing us trouble. There are plenty of such

George Wilson, husband of Myrtle, shoots with his gun to kill Jay Gatsby. When I think about the scene created, I had one thing on my mind. How did Wilson kill Gatsby on the right spot as he was floating on his swimming pool? As Wilson was sad because of the terrible accident of his wife, Myrtle, he had sleepless night, however, he managed to kill Gatsby without missing one bullet. I think the book is based on emotional rather than logical, because Wilson murdered Gatsby thinking that he might be the murderer of his wife and “lover” of his wife, which is not true. Based on the yellow car, Tom ensures Wilson that it was his car and that he hit Myrtle. If Wilson had thought more about the situation, he might not take an action murdering Gatsby and then commit a suicide later on.
