Ricketts, MarieClaire 30/09/2012 P.3 Great Gatsby Dialectical Journal Chap. 3 Date & Page Date & Page To me this quote showed the reader that people would use Gatsby. When Gatsby would throw party’s people would show up uninvited and I realized that even though Gatsby was “popular” he was only popular for the lavish parties he would throw, in my opinion. From reading this I can now predict that something is going to happen and Gatsby is going to realize everyone didn’t care about him at all. I felt while reading this quote from chapter 3 that it showed a progression in the relationship between Nick and Gatsby, and since Gatsby was so used to being used it was interesting to see some sort of bond between Gatsby and Nick.
Early on, it is clear that the Greeks practice a general code of hospitality. Whenever a stranger visits, the hosts will first feed the guest before becoming acquainted with them. For example, when Telemachus visits the King Neleus, they are invited to join in on their rituals for Poseidon. It was only after they had eaten the feast did their hosts begin to question who they were (Homer, The Odyssey, Book 3, Lines 72-81). Later, Menelaus makes sure to do the same, for as he says to the lord Eteoneus, “just think of all the hospitality we enjoyed at the hands of other men before we made it home” (Homer, The Odyssey, Book 4, Lines 38-39).
Essay Response to Dinner with Trimalchio When reading over the tale of Trimalchio’s grand dinner I was amazed by the comparisons that could be made to the current United States. In class we talked of likening Trimalchio to The Great Gatsby and the 1920s. While the roaring 20’s is a good comparison, the account of this lavish dinner can also be paralleled to modern times. The frivolous attitude of American culture shares many similarities with the story of Trimalchio. We are truly sightless to the luxury we live in.
When creating an ethical long term care facility you must create a strong mission statement as well as a value statement this lets the families which are considering long term facilities for there loved one will be more interested in having a facility that offers so many programs plus the loving and caring atmosphere.

Telemachus offers food and drink, and only asks about his father, Odysseus. Athena then tells him to go out and find information, and soon sets out for Pylos, land of Nestor. When Telemachus enters Nestor’s palace, the crowd greats him: “Nestor among his sons as friends around them decked the banquet, roasted meats and skewered strips for broiling. As soon as they saw the strangers, all came crowding down, waving them on in welcome, urging them to sit” (Book 3, 36-39). After feasting and story telling, getting Sklar 2 ready to go toward the ship and go to sleep, Nestor stopped them by saying, “Now Zeus forbid, and the other gods as well, that you should spend the night onboard, and leave me as though I were some pauper without a stitch, no blankets…no piles of rugs…I have all these… and while I live the only son of Odysseus will never make his bed on a ship’s deck, not while I’m alive or my sons are left at home to host our guests, whoever
In the epic poem, we keep reading about how every time there is a guest in a household, the owner of the house, which is the host, is usually following these rules when they greet their guest. For example, the way the Phaeacians welcomed Odysseus to their house. They gave him food and a bath, offered him a place to sleep in and only then they questioned him about his life back home, although they knew of his name and where he is from. He then shared his story about his journey form Troy, which is something that is often seen in the Odyssey; exchanging stories is part of xenia and counts as a gift. An example of good xenia happening in the epic movie is when the suitors come to Odysseus’ house and Penelope and Telemachus follow the xenia rules; give them food, baths and a place to sleep.
Although we do have fads, as all countries do, our maturity lends to individual styles which are socially acceptable and respected. There is no need for false imaging to gain social acceptance. However, this was the country my parents, grandparents and descendants grew up in. Over the years as I was growing up, my parents realized that they had to furnish me with everything my classmates had; just to keep me from being bullied by
Major stereotypes were filled in (give year). She also explained how her manners and being kind to others led her to the lord who took care of her. This represented her roots and how culture came to part of her lifestyle and how she incorporated it into her life. Throughout her stories one thing stayed consistent, this was her consistent showing of respect. Reflection Reading the story of Charity Anderson was a real privilege because it showed me how your entire life can reflect upon your morals.
The Cheyenne culture had an interesting family life. All of us spent our time together. Also we lived our life how we were supposed to. If we said that one of our values was to respect the elders, we always respected the elder. But, however, the white people did the opposite of it.
Indian culture is rich and diverse and as a result unique in its very own way. People’s manners and the ways of communicating with one another are one of the important components of Indian culture. Elders and the respect for elders is a major component in Indian culture. Elders are the driving force for any family and hence the love and respect for elders comes from within and is not artificial. An individual takes blessings from his elders by touching their feet.
