I also think Nick and Gatsby shared a genuine friendship, Nick not only liked but also respected Gatsby – he felt that, like himself, Gatsby was an honest man who had tried his best to be a good person. 2. How was Jay Gatz’s childhood schedule consistent with the adult Gatsby’s behaviour? The clear schedule that Gatsby wrote in his youth – which Gatsby’s father shows to Nick after his demise – is the place in which young Gatsby wrote everything he wanted to achieve - it includes such items as “Be better to parents” – and demonstrates his constant need to better himself, whilst also providing us with a glimpse into what he was like as a child – eager, hard working and determined. This somehow mirrors his personality later on in life, shown through his pursuit of Daisy; even after the years that has passed he refuses to give up on her.
168-9. He talks about how ambitious his son had been and what a great man he would have become had he not been slain at such an early age. His son had always liked the East best, he said, since it was there that he had earned all of his wealth and had even bought Henry's home in Minnesota for him. Despite Jay's efforts to disguise his meager family history, he nevertheless had felt some connection or he would not have gone so far as to buy his father a house.

The Summoner: As judgment came closer a man with leprosy came to remind them their time was running short and as of that day they must follow him to court to hear what they had to say. Despite their various attempts, the men soon discovered that their out come would be a cruel death like no other. The Manciple: With no true education, but quite a bit of reputation, a man came to prepare the lads for their final destination. He informed them of their rights, then left them to be, because now the men sat in pure
His siblings were all athletic and he was kind of the “nerd” of the family. He was outrageously smart and his family supported him one hundred percent. He just didn’t think that his dad was proud of him and I think that made him push himself so much more. His dad altered him to be a better man and doctor. Dr. Paul Farmer promoted his positive solutions all around the world.
In Charles’ eyes, the real threat was that The United States was being torn apart and the noble cause of many a revolutionary soldier would be lost and their mortal lives given up in vain. Charles respected his family and it was a hard to go against their wishes but in the end it was a verse from the Bible that made the decision clear. Charles found himself mortally wounded from battle. Sheltered behind a rock formation, as his life’s blood ran out on the ground around him, he wrote these words. “I don’t know if anyone will find this journal or care to read the words I have written.

He was grieving by not wanting to go to school, he did not feel like getting out of bed. But then he was able to overcome all that when he realized that the only way he would manage to make it through all of that death and change was to make a list of everything gave him joy in his life. And with that being said, the list made him stronger. He realized he had a lot of things that made him feel happy. Sure these deaths broke him down but these deaths also had a great
So you can see how handsome he would be. Since he is a gentleman, he never even thinks towards that direction. My mom is very proud to have him as her husband. He gave a lot of sacrifices for his family, turning down all those pretty women would be considered as a big sacrifice. No seriously, he did a lot for his family to give them the best education and the living standard; not only to his wife and kids, also to his own younger brothers.
For a long time 5 years to be exact I despite my father for not stepping up supporting his children like a father should. I remember saying “How can any good man give up on his children”. Before I had so much hatred in my heart negative feelings against my father. But during his passing I started to regret a lot of things I said and even felt the worse, he became the sorrier I was but, words couldn’t express the way I felt during that time all I wanted was to let my father know I was sorry for my actions and go home in peace knowing his daughter loved, and forgiven him.
