But Nick ask Gatsby’s friends to attend the funeral. The answer is “Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead,” he suggested. “After that, my own rule is to let everything alone.”--- Mr. Wolfsheim. The death Gatsby is worthless for Mr. Wolfsheim, even will bring some trouble to him. So he does not want to mix up with Gatsby.
With technology that runs the life’s of millions, and the constant need to obtain anything and everything without a price, Lao-Tzu would hang his head in shock at the life we have grown so quick to know. There are places in the government and in the life of today that Lao-Tzu would think inadequate for living; however, we must look at what in our life meets his guidelines as well. Modern American society is not perfect. The ways of the world have changed since 6th century BC and life has become much more complicated all the while striving to make things simpler. The way technology has driven the last half of a century has changed life astronomically.
Bolante’s Use of Pathos It is hard to imagine our loved ones being removed from their burial plots in a cemetery to make way for an apartment building but this is what is happening in Waikiki. Ronna Bolante’s article, “Bones of Contention,” analyzes the issues that arise when an ancient Hawaiian burial site is found during construction. Bolante uses pathos to invoke empathy from the reader. Pathos, the Greek work for suffering or experience, illustrates the speaker’s or author’s perception to the reader or audience. The article attempts to appeal to the reader’s sense of family, as anyone would be horrified if their loved ones’ graves were disturbed.
"The Case for Mandatory Organ Donation" - A Review (Reading Assignment, Week 7) In “The Case for Mandatory Organ Donation” (2007), by Scott Carney, he makes the argument that organ donation should not be a choice; instead Carney believes that organs should be donated regardless of the wishes of the deceased and their family. In this article Carney quotes Eric Johnson, a professor at Columbia University as saying, “…there would be a [an] increase of between 16 percent to 50 percent in the availability of organs, and others have speculated that this would eliminate the shortage of organs in some categories” (2007). The argument that Carney has put together is very effective and is quite persuasive to solving the problem of a lack of organs to those that need transplants. However there are holes in the argument that Carney has proposed. For example, although the opposition is stated briefly within the article, there is little attention given to the argument of spirituality and the beliefs that come along with some people’s thoughts on the afterlife and what happens to the human body after one passes away.
Antigone expects Creon to bury her brother just because they are family. " " Antigone has different beliefs then her uncle, Creon. She does this, to some extent, to defy Creon but also to allow Polynices to have a good after-life. “A higher law exists than that of of man’s, and that is the law of God.” (Woods 73). Antigone believes that without burying her brother he will not have a good after-life.
Nick also shows that he is caring at Gatsby’s funeral when he tells Gatsby’s father that him and Gatsby “were close friends” (Fitzgerald 176). Considering not many people attended Gatsby’s funeral, Nick tries to advise Gatsby’s father that his son’s house was always filled with people and friends, although it is not the truth. He senses the father’s sensitivity and takes that into consideration when talking to his about his son. In conclusion, Gatsby shows good character when he was respectful in deciding not to judge people and when he was ashamed of himself after Gatsby’s party, trustworthiness when he told Gatsby to let Daisy go and when he admits he is honest, and caring as he helped Gatsby with Daisy and reassures Jay Gatsby’s father at his funeral. This shows that although Nick can be selfish sometimes, he is mainly a good man.
Individuals who work as morticians or funeral directors handle the stigma of their occupation by symbolically negating as much of it as possible and avoid using words that associate with death. One interview in Thompson’s article says that sympathy cards sent out to the family avoid words such as: “dead” and “death”. Instead they would use the terms “loss” or “time of sorrow”. There are many different things that can fall under symbolic interactionism in this article. Another example is how they no longer say that embalming happens in the embalming room but instead they call it the “preparation room.” One other term that used to be said in the past was coffins.
For example, when a male give someone promise, he should try the best to keep his word and maintain a good credit. Let me bring up another example, man should also be responsible to their family. Personally, I think a man should have a job and earn money. It is not a must to be a breadwinner, but at least man should do some contribution to his family. Another major factor that I think a man should have is tenacious.
In my personal experience I have not received a birthday card or thank you card in a long time. Now in days email is the fastest way to communicate in seconds .The world we live in today is fast paced and ever changing. If the United States service is unable to adapt to our changing society they will no longer have a place in it. The USPS needs to consider making changes to their systems or they will soon go out of business. The USPS has many important needs for the economy and record keeping of this nation.
Nobody came” (165). Nick assumes that Gatsby’s generosity in entertaining would result in a respectable number of mourners at his funeral. Nick assumes that Gatsby’s life has impacted many, Daisy in particular. However, not only does Daisy fail to pay her respects, but Nick himself quickly loses sight of Gatsby. “I tried to think about Gatsby then for a moment, but he was already too far away” (Fitzgerald 165).
