I chose the images of clothing and jewelry as when I think of Daisy I think of fashion! Daisy was "old money" and grew up in a house full of wealth. With wealth, comes great taste and good clothing! I chose the image of a charm bracelet as the bracelet represents Daisy being "played as a charm" by both Gatsby and Nick. I chose the picture of summer as summer was the time period when Daisy fell in love with the young soldier, Jay Gatsby. Due to Daisy coming from a wealthy family, Gatsby had the urge to lie about his ranking to attract Daisy. I picked the image of a fan as Daisy often has to "cool" herself during the novel due to her being placed in tense situations. Throughout The Great Gatsby, Daisy is torn between Tom and Gatsby. I chose the image of a roller coaster as Daisy's life is full of sudden twists and turns as she does not make a clear decision and stick to it.
In Daisy's words:
I chose the image of pearls as Tom often gave me pearls throughout my life. Pearls mean a lot to me, but I remember the day I broke a pearl necklace because I found out that after many years, Gatsby still loved me. Gatsby promised that he would come back to me, but I still had to marry Tom Buchanan which made me make wrong decisions in the future. I chose the image of a broken heart because I broke Gatsby's heart several times (by marrying Tom). I myself also have a broken heart as even though I am surrounded by loved ones, I feel so alone and lost. My life is full of color, ups and downs, and even twists and turns.
