The Great Gatsby
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
“I tried to make her stop, but she couldn’t, so I pulled the emergency brake” (Fitzgerald, 144).This death came as a complete surprise to me. I never really expected it. As I was reading, I remember a very frightening incident I saw as a child. My younger brother was about three. We just got back from a trip. My family left the car, but my brother was still in the car. Our driveway is on a massive hill and we parked the car on its crest. Somehow, the car shifted out of park, went down a small part of the driveway, into our lawn, and hit a tree. My brother was fine. In fact, he was laughing when we opened one of the two undamaged doors. My parents were freaking out. Who would not be freaking out? The car was totaled but everyone was okay. Even though the situations were completely different, the aspect of the crash reminded me of that scary day
