Which is something people definitely need to learn at a young age. He also states that they tend to accustom teens to pursue stuff that pays off instantly as opposed to teaching them to making long-term goals and working to achieve such goals. “McDonald’s is bad for your kids.” This short, but impacting sentence opens up Etzioni’s essay, and describes as a whole what he is trying to say throughout the whole piece.

It is a replication of the media's fantasy of the "real man" (tough guise). As the dominant male figure, he strives only for these few things but rarely succeeds in getting them because his wife makes most of the household decisions. During the entire episode, Ray is only seen doing housework once. Unfortunately, he is completely clueless as to what to do and Debbie has to take over. This clearly shows that even though Ray is the dominant one in the house, he is not required to do thing pertaining to housework and childcare.

There are certain obligations that go along with the role of being a son. Not all families will run things in the same ways, but most would agree that the son has the following responsibilities. They should always treat their parents with respect in a way of saying thank you for taking care of their needs. The son should obey their commands for their own benefit. Since it takes two people to make a relationship possible, the son should also make as much of an effort as the parent in keeping that relationship a positive one.

In the excerpt from the letter written by Lord Chesterfield to his son, he implies that he would like to advise his son and also reveal his own values. The author uses several rhetorical strategies throughout the text, such as anaphoras, rhetorical questions, and metaphors, which indicate his own values. Lord Chesterfield uses long sentences, separated by colons or semicolons, which may suggest he wants to advise his son in a quick, but friendly manner. Lord Chesterfield uses irony by when he first addresses his son, he does not “mean to dictate as a parent; only to advise as a friend.” As the letter continues though, he hints to his son that he is his father, and indeed he wants him to listen and follow to what he is informing his son of. The author also continues to explain to his son that he is “absolutely dependent upon him” and that “he neither had, nor can have a
“Some time before he introduced himself I’d got a strong impression that he was picking his words with care” (Fitzgerald 53).

In the same comparison Nick says, “ 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.” (98). This is when nick realizes who Gatsby is, he says this almost disappointingly. He expressed Gatsby as creating someone that a younger version of himself would look up to. So Nick now knows about Gatsby and is in awe of the story he just heard. When I found out the Mystery of “The GREAT Gatsby” I wasn’t disappointed too much, I liked that he created who he wanted to be.
