This is a particularly special event because most people are not invited to Gatsby’s parties but just show up because they know that he will be having one. As the reader finds out later in the novel, Gatsby’s main intention for throwing the parties was in the hopes that Daisy would show up at one of them and he would once again be reunited with her. While at the party, Nick makes an attempt to find the host. However Nick’s luck only brings him to
Soon after he died at the age of eighty-three leaving children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren and they have all heard and remember his midnight ride. He did not leave any wives because they both had died years ago which made all depressed in his olden days. Also he had eight with one and eight with the other but with the first one only 5 survived and the second only six survived. Even though many that fought are not alive now, their memories still live on. The colonies soon became America and what it is today because of all the historical events in the past due to Paul Revere and many others and all the wars and battles we won throughout the years, good thing we got rid of those British
Nick said, "After that I felt a certain shame for Gatsby.." (177). Of all the people that claimed to be his friends and acquaintances, only one man, who hadn't even given his name showed up. This reminded Nick of the first time he went to a party at Gatsby's house, Nick said, " I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby's house I was the one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People were not invited--they went there." ( ) Of all the things Gatsby had done for these leaches of people, after he died, no one wanted to be associated with Jay Gatsby.
They are no longer the important aspect of his life as all focus shifts to himself to become important to others who seemingly don’t care about him. Helen’s response to a company friend stating, “I know how much you will miss him,” with “I already have” shows the significance of her and the family moving on from Phil and his workaholic self. Later, while attending Phil’s funeral, the company president asks, “Who’s been working the hardest?” and provides the audience a sense that nobody noticed Phil’s hard work and dedication to the company, making Phil appear invisible to the people he was intending to impress. By doing this, Goodman illustrates the
That don’t make any sense at all.” Though at this point, Andy realises his death is inevitable. Any loyalty or courage he has towards The Royals no longer matters, and perhaps he’s starting to realize that he could just be another statistic of gang violence. Ultimately, Andy withdraws all his loyalty to The Royals and realizes that he wants nothing to do with them. He knows that he was killed for his coat and what it stood for rather than who he was. This led him to realize that unless he removes his coat he will die as a Royal, an example to society of
My first thought when I read this was that the unknown stranger who got into the party was infected by the red death and had infected everybody else. Knowing that one of the side effects of the Red Death is delusion, I then thought that maybe Prince Prospero was always infected and this party was just all made up his mind as he lived his last moments of life. This also makes sense because none of the guests at the party were described. It shocks me how all this time it was believed that Prince Prospero was trying to escape death by throwing this party and take his mind off of it but in the end he still
He cannot see that he did anything wrong when he fired Eva smith- he was just looking after his business interests. An example of him putting his business first is when the Inspector asks him why he didn’t give Eva more money. ‘Well, it’s my duty to keep labour costs down, and if I’d agreed to this demand for a new rate we’d have added about 12% to our labour costs.’ This shows a clear understanding that Birling only thought about his business and was very selfish towards his work. He wants to protect is reputation. As the Inspector’s investigations continue, his selfishness gets the better of him: he is worried about how the press will view his story in Act 2, and accuses Sheila of disloyalty at the start of Act 3.
A job is something that if you find one your whole life you’re a lucky person. The fact that his parents kind of got him the job shows how hard it might have been. Another reason could be that maybe he thought it was cool. I could never do this is because anywhere you go there will be a boss that makes you upset. Who’s to say if he were to get another job that his next boss would confront a girl he takes liking to and he quits that job too.

Also, while the platoon is searching through the muck to find the dead body, Lieutenant Cross thinks of a way to write a letter informing Kiowa’s father of the unfortunate news. He wants to make this letter more personal than just a notification telling the parent that his or her child has been killed in action. Lieutenant Cross shows that he is willing to go above and beyond the required duties of being a leader, because he strives to do more than that. He makes an effort to know his troops on an individual basis. Considering Lieutenant Cross is one of the draftees that initially did not want to fight in the war, he does not necessarily take on the typical militarized
