This green light is what he can see of Daisy’s house and serves as an aim, a motive for Gatsby. However, it is out of reach and there seems to be something almost supernatural about it, not dissimilar to the American dream and it’s implausibility for the majority of Americans in the 1920s. Gatsby has romanticised Daisy so much that she becomes a fantasy who cannot possibly fulfil expectations. This is exactly what happened with the American dream, even if someone did manage to achieve it, they would most likely not be satisfied as it may not live up to their over glorified and undeserved expectations. Nick see’s this as he points out that “there must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams” and also understands that this is “not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his (Gatsby’s) illusion.
I feel Gatsby can’t just come and steal his lover back. I also ask if he liked Daisy so much why he didn’t make her maybe believe he was coming back or why didn’t he just stay. It seems like the relationship they had been intensely powerful, I don’t think he should have waited a whole five years. 64
Faber’s Knowledge Books are something everyone takes advantage of, nobody knows how important they are until they’re gone. In Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451 Montag goes to Faber to seek advice about the books. He finds out Faber’s beliefs in book’s purpose, quality, and the leisure of people. Faber also believes that fear of the truth in books drove people away, and now without the books there is only chaos. When Faber told Montag what the purpose of books were, he spoke, “Books are a receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget,” so without them everything would slowly be forgotten (83).
Pastels connotes a fairytale, ephemeral quality, this represents the unreality of the Buchanans’ lifestyle and what they have, relationship wise won’t last for a long time and will eventually wither away. The fairytale connotation suggests that the characters are living in a dreamlike world and nothing is as it seems. This is shown with Gatsby’s chauffeur whose uniform was “robin’s egg blue”, this shows that nothing is as it seems because it is clear that Gatsby’s lifestyle is all a show to impress Daisy. The colour grey is also used throughout the novel. Grey symbolises waste, decay and desolation.
There you will also be given the’ code’ you need to break your current behaviour pattern and replace it with one that is more desirable. I personally prefer a more authoritarian style of induction. I surprise myself in this because i generally don’t respond that well to authority; however i really struggle to take myself to my own special place. When i am in conversation with friends or family or i am reminiscing over memories past i can take myself to that place within seconds or if someone asks me to imagine the word happy for example, similarly i can picture a time of smiling or laughter normally with the people i love. Since my last session with the my tutor i have tried desperately to envision my special place, but have truly found it so much easier to be taken somewhere, here i can place the items, sights, smells, people or even noises that i want there with me and i fell comfortable and safe.
We all want that fairytale relationship that we see on tv and read about in books, for instance you could refer to a Nicholas Sparks novel and all the romantic things that the couples experience. The young couple sustained a lack of reality, many people may agree that they were in lust with one another other than being in love, both wanting to experience that certain romantic feeling. Neither China's nor Jeremy's parents were around when they were needed most, the
Daisy as well as Jordan are described as innocent and pure throughout the first couple chapters of the novel – “ They were both in white, and their dresses were rippling and fluttering…”. However it is just a façade, Daisy has flaws which she hides through wearing white, in reality she is cold and “her voice is full of money”. Gatsby wants Daisy to admit that she has never loved Tom, however Daisy loves them both and that is when Gatsby’s dream fails. He realises that Daisy is not the person who
However as he works with the patients, he develops a new perspective and insight into certain matters and himself. When Nick and Lucy denounce him for doing a play about love, by declaring that ‘only mad people in this day and age would do a work about love and infidelity’, Lewis is able to realise that love and friendship is more important than politics. He learns about the importance of friendship, clearly evident, that he attends the moratorium, helping the patients prepare for their performance with an additional rehearsal. Lewis also finds strength later in the play, which he was devoid of to begin with . At the start, he is overwhelmed by the patients such as Cherry, Doug and Roy by their 'crazy' behaviour.
So i can say that in this class, ideology impacted me to an extent, but in certain areas, its still undefined for me. Though my education and how i can ideologically apply it to literature is still undefined, I can easily say that i really enjoyed this class. I walked out knowing more than i did when i came in, and it also altered the way i view things such as friends, family, work, religion and so on. I could never study ideology itself and truly be interested but i am very glad that i was given an opportunity to learn that there are other ways of viewing everyday
She also talked a lot about miss more and ragged on her a lot which was mostly bad talk. The way the story was laid out I though it had a bit too much bad language and improper wording and sentence phrases. This would keep the reader into it just to see what could she possibly say next. I think the author has a lot of what I read to be some what unnecessary language. It is still overall a very good story and I think a lot of readers out there would like it and could relate.
