I need to write a dramatic monologue as Jordan from the Great Gatsby. The context is that it is approximately 5 years since Gatsby died and Jordan is talking to Daisy at a golf competition in Chicago. That's all the information I have and it's a grade 12 English assignment. Does anybody have any ideas about a story line or something they could be discussing?

Answer 1

If Jordan and Daisy have not seen each other in five years (since Tom and Daisy left Long Island after Gatsby's death), what would they talk about? Remember their days hanging out together, talk about Gatsby? What has Jordan been doing in the last five years? How has her life changed from what it was hanging out with the rich people on Long Island? Is she now married, more "settled down"? Use your imagination.
