(41) Majestic. What color does Nick dress in to attend Gatsby’s party? What meaning might this color convey? (41) He’s dressed in white flannels, which may mean purity or social purity. Nick calls the groups of people “swirls and eddies of people I didn’t know.” Why might he choose to use this particular metaphor to describe the strangers there?
Dear Diary, On October 1917, it was a breathtaking day! I was reunited with the man I initially fell in love with; not that cheating bastard Tom, but the charismatic Jay Gatsby! It’s strange to refer to him as charismatic in this occasion, as our initial meeting was quite awkward, as many people would say. I was invited to have tea with Nick at his house, and it just so happened that there was another visitor: Gatsby At first, he was very uncomfortable and timid towards me, yet to be quite sincere, I was probably just as embarrassed and taken by the situation. It had been so very long since the last time I saw Gatsby that there was a rather ‘uncomfortable’ friction between the two of us.
However, not long after that the sociable spell wears off and Jekyll starts rejecting visitors once more. Strangely, as this occurs Lanyon a near and dear friend to both Jekyll and Utterson, passes away from shock which is linked to Jekyll. In Lanyon’s passing he leaves a letter for Utterson, with instructions to open only when Jekyll has died. Not long after this, Utterson receives a less than normal visit from Jekyll’s butler ,Mr Poole. It was this visit from Poole that led the men back to Jekyll’s home and to his laboratory.
But she realize or caught David with his attitude and the way he was action so she knew he was gay, but what impress me was the way that Lil Mike act because some other people would of talk some trash but he didn’t instead he was cool about it. In “road trip” is kind of the same but a lot different, so when I read the history it confuse me again but at the same time clear up my doubt about David sexuality, because in this story he is gay again, so it start with his father inviting him to a party but what help me clear my doubts was when he start talking about coming out of the closet and how bad or unthinkable was the thought of being homosexual, and how he denied his secret until he was 20 years
This random party is another way in which Fitzgerald tells the story. All these rich characters go from one social event to another, and by emphasising this, those characters lose credibility and makes them look shallow. This therefore gains more respect from the reader towards Nick and as its being told as if he is the author allows him to get his point looked at and accepted. Although the title of the book is ‘The Great Gatsby’ we only see two real moments of Nick talking about him in the
Upon watching Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey I couldn’t help but notice some differences between the character I had imagined from reading the book and the character portrayed by actor Martin Freeman. Bilbo Baggins is introduced to the reader in the very first chapter An Unexpected Party as a seemingly typical hobbit; he loves food, his pipe and the comforts of his home in Bag End. Bilbo is a Baggins who are considered “very…respectable, not only because most of them were rich, but also because they never had any adventures or did anything unexpected” (12). However, there is more to Bilbo than meets the eye as he is also part Took who are “not entirely hobbitlike” (13) due to their knack for adventure. Initially the movie portrays Bilbo accurately when he encounters Gandalf the wizard and politely declines his suggestion for an adventure, “Sorry!
Chapter 1 – Summary The narrator of ‘The Great Gatsby’ is a young man named Nick Carraway. He begins by explaining his personality and morals, stating that he learned from his father to reserve judgment about other people, because if he holds them up to his own moral standards, he will misunderstand them. He shows that he has both high morals and that he is highly tolerant of most people. He mentions Gatsby, saying that Gatsby represented everything he scorns, but that he exempts Gatsby completely from his usual judgments. Gatsby’s personality was nothing short of “gorgeous.” In the summer of 1922, Nick had just arrived in New York, where he moved to work in the bond business.
This is shown when he admits early in the story that he does not judge Gatsby because Gatsby had an "extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness". This made Nick more loyal to Gatsby than other characters in the book. Nick overlooks the wrongness of Gatsby's bootlegging, his known associations with speakeasies, and with the character Meyer Wolfsheim, a man rumored to have fixed the World Series in 1919. Yet he is disapproving of Jordan Baker for cheating in a golf game. He also says that he is prepared to forgive this sort of behavior in a woman, "It made no difference to me.
However, during the course of this novel, something and someone begin to change Marner. When his gold was stolen, the villagers started to reach out to Marner and show pity for him. Marner, although still secluded, began to demonstrate more openness toward the villagers. For example, when Dolly Winthrop came to the door, “he showed no impatience as he would once have done at a visit that had been unasked for and unexpected” (p. 81). After the alteration of Marner’s environment, he became a changed man.
I looked to the right in the door way and I saw a tall lean man with a mustache and scruffy face like he hadn’t shaved in a couple days. I was immediately taken back by the site of a male standing there, when my mom said her “new friend” I thought she meant a lady she met at work, this however was not the case. With a warm smile and a deep voice he introduced himself as Clarence. I remember being shy and scared, I didn’t know what to think of the whole situation. He shook my hand and looked at my mom, got off his knee and began a conversation with her.
