Men like "simple" women, not women who are fake, stupid and can’t think for themselves (and it’s so easy to tell them apart). Remember the first time you got drunk (or stoned)? I’m sure you didn’t want to start, but a "friend" pushed you, you did it, and now you like it! That shows you can’t think for yourself. Sadly, people who are truly themselves, and stick to their values and beliefs tend to be alone and get overlooked often, but that’s not their problem.
Many people reverse the idea and believe life is material cares and wants. These men understand this distinction and shortcut their way to true happiness by skipping the fruitless chase of more and more. They have enough. So much in fact that they are willing to share everything they get because there is no attachment. Without attachment there is no longing or pain when whatever it is runs out.
On top of this he is almost imprisoned by his ‘crooked’ back even though his isolation gives him the freedom to ‘leave his things about’ and to have personal space. This gives him power which he craves so much and is jealous of. This is the place where he feels he has power as opposed to when he exits it. In the other chapter Crooks opened the door ‘quietly’ and only put in his ‘lean negro head’. He is extremely polite, unlike the way he lashes out at Lennie shouting he’s ‘got a right to a light’.
Tod came to Hollywood to work as a costume designer. His looks do not reveal how great talent he has. His slow and “doltish” look on his face, his large body made him look very unattractive, unprofessional, and “completely without talent”(2). His large body, and unattractive features made him look very off-putting to Faye. Once she even “…refused his friendship, or, rather, insisted on keeping it impersonal.
The use of slapstick by Wilde produces a contrived and absurd plotline that is in every way unrealistic. The lack of morality in the characters defines how undeveloped they are. For example, Algernon uses the aphorism, "The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her if she is pretty, and to someone else if she is plain" highlighting his ignorance and casual selfishness. Each one of the characters is in some way lacking either true morality or even awareness of reality. Gwendolyn in particular is fond and proud of her education yet in the end she easily forgives Jack for lying to her throughout the play underlying a sense of stupidity.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Neat People vs. Sloppy People by Suzanne Britt. By the end of the piece it actually had me laughing out loud at the content. She tries to make you believe that a person who is neat is actually lazy and mean compared to someone who is sloppy. According to her neat people are very wasteful and she makes it seem as though sloppy people are resourceful, though I like to call it being a hoarder.
But Daisy was a very picky girl. You can tell when she ignored all of the non wealthy, non classy men that tried to woo her. But then, the rich, handsome, elegant Jay Gatsby introduced himself to her, she couldn't have found a better person. Distracted by the present figure of Gatsby, she didn't love Gatsby, it was the image. For Gatsby, it made him believe that Daisy really fell in love with him.
Nick is one of these rare people; Nick is possibly the only individual who truly comes to comprehend and appreciate Gatsby in the end. What makes Gatsby so “great” to Nick is not just the luxury of his daily life and the mesmerizing mystery of his wealth, but his actual personality; Nick gradually recognizes that Gatsby, in his inner self, does not care about his wealth, or social standing, or any of the other unimportant belongings that seems to be significant to everyone else in his superficial world. Rather, Gatsby is interested by the most delicate and craziest of feelings, love.
The best in him was his creativity, his curiosity, and his ability to think for himself so he was different. These things are not sinful in my opinion, he did not do any harm to anyone this is probably why he did not feel guilty about his so called “sins”. Prometheus also recognized that his old society had took away any the chance for man to think for himself. They took away his thoughts, his will
But I believe that Chris is just a guy that is down to earth and real. He’s not fake like most people out there. He may come off as insensitive or a jerk, but he’s really just a guy that’s sick of people trying to help him out and make him happy when in reality, you’re the only one that can truly make yourself happy. Overall, the book and the movie are different. Sean Penn focuses on pretty much the journey and Chris himself.
