The author does a very nice job of writing a letter to Daisy. However, in the letter, Gatsby practically informs Daisy of his love for her. In the novel, Gatsby is more of a shy character. His life is dedicated to winning back Daisy. With the events Gatsby throws at his house just for Daisy, it is not likely that he would confess his love in a simple letter. Even if a class assignment called for it to be done, the format and content of this letter is not accurate. Yes, Gatsby would do any of the things mentioned in the letter for Daisy. However, he would not admit it on paper. If a letter would be written from Gatsby to Daisy, he would most likely take a more pulled back approach, admitting very little, while at the same time trying to express his love. This letter does a nice job of showing Gatsby's thoughts. However, it is not accurate to what a real letter between the two would be composed of.
