Its clear Gatsby and Daisy have some unfinished business no one likes to be the third wheel. When Gatsby specifically says show her around I think she must be a girl who loves money and he thinks he can win her back by showing her expensive things. 60WORDS Chapter VI: ‘’So he invented just the sort of jay Gatsby that a seventeen year old boy would be likely to invent , and to this conception he was faithful to the end.’’ (pg.104) This explains speak much. Gatsby is a little liar but why does he feel he has to lie about his past life. He even lied about his real name like that’s childish.
He is in an awkward position in this short story. Daisy is a brown girl who is neighbours with Ben. She is eager to play with him, “…Darted across Finchley Row,” but Ben does not treat her the way he should he speaks to her rudely, “… In a muffled voice,” and is racist to her, “…You’re a nigger.” Daisy gets really hurt by the way Ben acts towards her, Ben says this to Daisy because of his mother and what she has taught him. However, Ben starts feeling sorry for her and lets her play with him, his feelings change because he realises he is wrong by treating her like that, his personality shines through. This leads Ben feeling paranoid as he keeps glancing toward his house just in case his mother sees them as his mother does not like Daisy.
Book Report My book ‘Endangered’ by Eliot Schrefer, was about a young girl named Sophie who had to fight to stay alive, taking care of not just herself, but a baby bonobo she named Otto. My book interested me in many ways. One way it interested me was because it showed the bond humans can have with an animal, so therefor we should stop people from killing animals. My quote I used is “The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom”. I chose this quote because it tells us that killing animals happens faster than someone gathering knowledge.
Concerning his mother, he states that her being constructed by others, meaning she lives on support from others, makes her notoriously fragile. He also criticizes the way which his mother overly values wealth, marrying for money and trying to make him do the same. Upon his description of Dora, he shows that beauty is a key point in making a woman attractive. He seems to believe that women exist to serve men, and women who fail to meet the standards of men are of no use. For instance, he criticizes Dora for bringing in his breakfast late, and immediately starts insulting her, calling her a pig.
His name was Tiger. My friend loves him so much and the dog loves him too. One day while we guys were hanging at his place, the tiger was there too, my another friend, Kamal hit Satish at his back, it was just for fun, but tiger attacked Kamal so quickly that no one could stop him and he bit him.

All it takes is once, and if they get away with it that once, if they know they can treat you like that, then it sets the pattern for the future.” ― Jane Green Sometimes you might just want to kill him; your life becomes suddenly worthless each day she realizes that with each stroke of his painful words she becomes less than nothing, but something tells you that eventually it will subside. Throughout “Sweat” conflict with the married couple is increased. While Delia is a “good” woman and goes to church and works hard for the white people
Daisy, while she may love Gatsby, loves social standing more and so she remains on East Egg in a loveless relationship. How heartbreaking is the fact that such a man as Gatsby who has crawled and scratched his way from poverty to wealth is still not afforded the love of his life. Even though he fights desperately to fake status, it is the class abyss that denies Gatsby his dream. And as it turns out, it is his willingness to sacrifice for her that costs him his life. Herein is nestled one of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s many uses of geographic location to convey the moral decline of this American
I can’t help what’s past.’ She began to sob helplessly. ‘I did love him once — but I loved you too.’” (140) Gatsby expects that Daisy will be happy to leave Tom behind and break off her marriage with him. Gatsby's dream has been to build a fortune and reclaim the love that he once lost because, as he sees it, he was too poor for Daisy when they first met. This proves my claim because this displays, in Daisy’s words, that Gatsby did expect too much, he expected for her to make a big deal in front of Tom. This proves my thesis because we can see that he expects a lot of Daisy.
