When I think about "The Golden Twenties" power, prosperity and boom come to my mind. My ex-wife Daisy and I, as well as the rest of the society, were interested in material wealth. I had a lot of money and, of course, I had grown up in a "real" American and rich family. Moreover, I prefered having wealthy and influential friends as it was and still is our task to keep up the distance between the classes. Nevertheless, I sometimes remember my love-affair with Myrtle Wilson, a member of the working class who regretted marrying her husband. She had no self-respect and let me treat her as I wanted to, just because of my money. Of course my mistress never succeeded in her attempt to find a place in my world as the rich stand together against all outsiders who try to escape fram their own world into the class of luxury. Yet, I have to confess that Myrtle's vivacity and her enormous personal magnetism attracted me. But stop it! Furthermore, I can't possibly imagine how all those race riots could take place. Those black people have to accept that they belong to a lower class.
The 1920's were also a decade of fun and entertainment. There were wild and extravagant parties with a lot of alcohol in spite of the prohibition which was known as "The Noble Experiment". However, my home town New York became a world of trickery and organized crime. What annoyed me even more was the sudden emancipation of women. But my Daisy was different in the beginning until this nouveau riche Gatsby from West Egg turned my wife's head. Originally I married one of the last women who still know their position in society. Day by day, she became more emancipated and this development displeased me as women should depend on men. I know about Gatsby's and Daisy's relationship before World War I. However, during that time I won Daisy, married her as well, and I could offer a high living standard to her. Gatsby was never accepted by the high- society as he earned his money by being involved in illegal deals. In spite of the fact that Gatsby was a nouveau riche, everybody liked joining his famous parties. Of course, nobody was really interested in Gatsby and also Daisy decided to stay with me in those days. Somehow, I was relieved by Gatsby's death who had risked to disturb our marriage. In my opinion, he was doomed to fail as his ideals were too fantastic to be realized. Gatsby tried to revive the past and tried to take away my wife. So he had to pay the ultimative price for it! But now, Daisy and I are no longer a couple. We got divorced in 1935 because of the fact that I had another mistress. I could not help doing it! Today, Daisy and I do not stand in contact with each other anymore.  I live my life, she lives hers and as everybody knows, I'm quite successful in my new job. As a man who knows the world, I started a career as a Republican U.S. senator, in order to stop the race riots which call forth an atmosphere of fear and insecurity. Furthermore, I will do everything that lies in my power to keep up the distance between the classes.
