Sorry about the voice quality. The microphone is weird. It was complete silence when I took the video, so I don't know where all the other sounds came from.
I love your portrayal of Gatsby's personality- his relentlessness in pursuing Daisy still remains despite her final decision of choosing Tom was really effective when you constantly repeated that "it's all my fault" which is something that Gatsby would say/do.
I like what you had to say about Gatsby feeling guilty about what happened. While it's not entirely his fault, I think Gatsby would be one to put himself on the line for Daisy because he's not as "careless" as the Buchanans are. Your monologue really makes me pity Gatsby.
When in the novel are you portraying this? I think perhaps your video would make more sense maybe just before Gatsby died or some time after the accident, because despite him feeling guilty for thinking it's his own fault, at the end of the chapter with the whole confrontation/accident, Gatsby appears quite neutral about Daisy running over someone. All he really cared about was how he thought Daisy would run away with him, and he simply brushes the accident off when Nick asks him about it. On the whole, I thought you were great! :-)
