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.
They were just so fun, so full of life, so exciting! However, not many of the guests who attended his parties really knew Jay, like I did. To others, Jay gave off a sort of mysterious persona. The rumors that were said about him were completely ridiculous! Rumors spread like wild fire every single day.
The Golden Spike (16-1) 1. Toponce converses about how the occasion of The Golden Spike was like from an audience consisting of Governors, leaders, railroad workers and a form of media (Document 16-1 p. 34). He explains some the events as being amusing in a way. “It was a very hilarious occasion, everybody had all they wanted to drink all the time. Some of the participants got “sloppy” and these were not all Irish and Chinese.” (Document 16-1 p. 34).
I was arguing with people I didn't even know saying, that it wasn't the author's problem if people got offended. I felt it was Belknap's writing and he could do whatever he wanted. But they weren't having any of it. They kept bringing up that the writing was offensive to a lot of people because it insulted religion. The same thing happened in my lunch period.
West Eggers are known for their outrageous activities and parties whereas East Eggers carry themselves with more confidence, class, and statue. Even though some East Eggers may not want this image, they still carry themselves with those qualities to ensure that they fit in (even though it makes them unhappy). This is brought into sharp focus for Gatsby when he invites the Sloanes, a long established East Egg family, to one of his parties, only to have the invitation accepted “without gratitude`` (Fitzgerald 109). To return back to Gatsby`s main goal, winning Daisy’s heart, he is constantly pinning for this ``green light`` that he sees across the courtesy bay. The green light represents the American
You get there but every eye keeps glancing in your direction. By the end of the party, your friend is angry at the fact you didn’t listen, but you don’t pay them any mind because you had fun any way. The main idea of the party was to have fun and that’s what you did. Throughout this multi-genre novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain highlights society’s views on rules in contrast to Huck’s, Jim’s, Tom’s, and Pap’s views on rules suggest it is acceptable to disobey rules you see as wrong. Huck Finn has disobeyed rules that he believes, himself, to be wrong but society thinks otherwise.
Its almost like they’re making fun of him for talking to her & she’s embarrassed. 6. How does the author emphasize Jin’s emotions? What other examples have you noticed from throughout the book? He’s not going to fight or make a big deal about it so he agrees but is secretly angry about it.
He said, “I noticed that several of his punch lines had been unintelligible, and the audience had actually laughed at nothing but the cue of his hand slap.” (111) Martin felt that the audience was forced to laugh not because of the joke or because the man was being funny, but because of the cue that was provided. He strongly disliked this and wanted his comedy to be unpredictable and Rodriguez 2 more importantly memorable. This caused Martin to take a deeper look into his own act to make sure that it was set up in a way that the audience would laugh when they actually thought it was funny and not when they felt it was expected of them. He started doing odd unpredictable things to accomplish
The writer of the book went so far as to say that no cathedrals could ever be built in our lifetime because there are so few people willing to sacrifice to that degree. When I really think about it, I don't want my son to tell the friend he's bringing home from college for Thanksgiving,
I have actually done this before where I was commenting on a friends Facebook post and said something as a joke and I logged of. The next day I found out that this person thought I was serious and was upset about my comment all night long. When they found out that I was kidding we all had a big laugh but this just goes to show how people can misread and misconstrue a comment. So although someone may not purposely intend to bully someone, sometimes it can be taken as such. We need to be cautious and read what we are posting to make sure that it will not be taken out of
