His goal of being with her had come true, but while being out on the town Tom finds out about the affair and things are laid out on the table. An argument starts up between Tom and Gatsby on who Daisy loves with Gatsby saying, “ ‘ Your wife doesn't love you…. She never loved you. She loves me…..

At that point, he started to take advantages of everything that is beneficial to him.
Jesus Jauregui Jr Mr. Joham AP Literature/Period 3 8 February 2012 Invisible Man “Better late than never” is a famous quote which means it is better to do or know something late rather than to never do or hear something. This quote could perfectly be applied to Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man. In it, the nameless narrator is constantly learning vital information after he acts. For example, the narrator got in trouble for taking Mr. Norton to go see Trueblood and to the Golden Day. He did not realize that Dr. Bledsoe would get mad at him because he was only doing what Mr. Norton told him to do.
Living day to day like Vladek did mostly in Volume II of Maus. Imagining the amount of fear trying to rest at night and wondering if you’ll see daylight ever again and maybe even your own family. I would feel pushed over my limit, mentally, If anything like that were to ever
(p51) Gatsby’s personality is much more open and friendly on the outside, but like a closed book on the inside. Unlike Tom, he didn’t flaunt his affections for a married woman, but went to great lengths to hide it, and to meet in secret. “’He wants to know,’ continued Jordan, ‘if you’ll invite Daisy to your house some afternoon and then let him come over.’ “. (p83) When he let Daisy slip through his fingers the first time, he couldn’t let it go. He moved to West Egg only so he could be close to Daisy and he had all those parties in the hope that she would be one of his ‘show up guests’.

So sit back and try to make sense of me making sense of a character that thousands of other English students have tried to make sense of. Holden is a lonesome kind of a guy, as a good amount of teenagers are in the sense that he has a hard time fitting to someone. By that I mean he doesn't really click with any other person’s personality. He just sees everyone as a friendly acquaintance(besides Jane who he likes). Throughout the story he's always just about to call someone but always makes up an excuse not to.
Though this is true throughout the epic he does let it kind of go to his head in a sense. He had an extreme sense of self pride never wanting to lose or show weakness to anyone or anything.
