• ‘You aint ruined’ – sense that she is envious that the other farm girl can be no naive (could remind herself of her). Now she is seen as a second class citizen and cannot marry or have a family because she is married • ‘You blue and bleak face could’ - unhealthy because she is unhappy because she has no life or status DIDNT TAKE WHAT THEY WERE DOING SERIOUSLY • Although the reader is like to feel sorry for the poet, ‘we played’ tells us that she saw her loves as a game. Could suggest that she liked all the attention. • She saw them as toys too, ‘my hurdy gurdy monkey men’ • Now she realises what she has done wrong and is has set in she still shows now sign of sorrow, ‘o you didn’t know I’d been ruined’ the breezy tone is heavily ironic. • ‘You aint ruined’ – suggesting she was like her and wanted all these clothes and privileges

She is a woman who didn’t have a hard lifestyle, but still wants more. She wanted excitement, wonderful meals, and extravagant clothing.

But Daisy was a very picky girl. You can tell when she ignored all of the non wealthy, non classy men that tried to woo her. But then, the rich, handsome, elegant Jay Gatsby introduced himself to her, she couldn't have found a better person. Distracted by the present figure of Gatsby, she didn't love Gatsby, it was the image. For Gatsby, it made him believe that Daisy really fell in love with him.
This is confirmed by Gatsby saying “her voice is full of money,” her obsession with money suggests why she stays in her miserable marriage with Tom Buchanan (115). However, Gatsby’s optimism and naivety lead him to conclude that he can win her over with his new found fortune. Unfortunately, his failure to see the irony in his situation is what ultimately leads him to his demise. The purity of the green light is a direct contradiction of the impure, self centered and materialistic woman Daisy truly is. Gatsby’s eagerness to accumulate wealth to enter Tom and Daisy’s world is also a clear violation of his pure dream; in reality their world is despicable and not the paradise that Gatsby imagines it to be.
Week 7 Assignment 2 Through history women and the GLBT, community has been looked down upon as inferior to men. As time has proven to be a good thing for women especially the last decade because it has been a time of great advancement for women in the workforce and the outlook that society has on them. I think that people in the United States are also becoming more comfortable with the GLBT community. More people are able to express themselves for who they really are and people are becoming more open to the idea of love without limits. I think it is important to look back from where we have come and see the progress that is being made from where we started to where we are today.

In response to those events, their actions caused them further grief, resulting in a life of turmoil and death. Mathilde Loisel “was one of those pretty and charming girls” (Maupassant 38) born into a family of clerks. She wasn’t an extravagant dresser but her beauty was enough to catch even the richest mans attention. She was very discontent with her position in life and felt as if she deserved the finer things. She would daydream of fancy dinners, shinning silverware and delicate furniture.
The theme of greed is first noticed in the second paragraph with the line, She was simple since she could not be adorned; but she was unhappy as though kept out of her own class (de Maupassant (1884). She is unhappy she is not in a higher socioeconomic class, where she is in her current condition is below her. From this one line at the beginning of the story we can tell that she has an inflated sense of self or extreme pride. Stories follow an arc from a beginning to an end, have characters and sites of action, and comprise events in scenes arrayed across time in which the characters act or are acted upon by other characters and events (Coulter, C. A., & Smith, M. L. (2009). These are all considered elements of a story.
