In The Great Gatsby, is the scene where Owl Eyes and his friend drive into the ditch a foreshadowing of the scene where Daisy hits Myrtle?I say...

I like your way of thinking here, but unfortunately I do
not agree, because the contexts of the two different crashes are completely different
and the points that Fitzgerald tries to bring out are also completely different. Let me
explain. Chapter Three, where the crash with Owl Eyes occurs, is a massive description
of the kind of parties that Gatsby threw, who went there and what the guests got up to
during the party. We already met Owl Eyes saying he had been "drunk for a week" in
Gatsby's library, and the drunkenness of Owl Eyes and the other person who was in the
car when it crashed, and didn't even know that it had stopped, clearly highlights the
kind of irresponsible attitude of the rich and famous who attended Gatsby's
parties.

Clearly this incident bears little similarity with
the crash that clears Myrtle. In the crash in Chapter Three, no one is killed and the
car is completely de-railed because of drunkenness. In the crash towards the end of the
book where Myrtle dies, it is a cold-blooded act of murder that is not a result of
drunkenness and does not destroy the car, apart from denting it. The only similarities
that do exist between the two crashes are that they both occur because the upper class
are able to do these kind of things and get away with it, without facing any punishment
that will severely effect them. Of course, Daisy is able to get Gatsby to take the blame
for killing Myrtle.
