Once the server arrives, it is almost like being off to the races. The wait staff takes the drink and appetizer order, also answering any questions that may arise. Depending on how long it takes the party to decide on an entrée, the appetizer often comes before the dinner order is complete. In most restaurants this means that there will be a long wait between the end of the appetizer and the main course but at Habaneros, that is not the case. The food, while made to order, never seems to take that long.
Krakauer solidifies the idea that McCandless took a lot of ideas from Thoreau and London in his book Into the Wild. It seems like their work really fueled him to do even more and to keep on his path that was to find true meaning in life. Thoreau in this epigraph writes about how he wants sincerity and truth rather than almost everything else. “Rather Than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where were rich food and wine in abundance, an obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not; and I went away hungry from the inhospitable board.
No one in their right mind would eat at a restaurant that is dirty and unpresentable. But at the Texas Roadhouse Restaurant, when I walk in the restaurant is clean and everything is in place. The next thing that I would evaluate at the restaurant, is how long I have to wait before a host or hostess comes to greet me. If the restaurant is very busy, I understand that it may take some time. But if the restaurant is not very busy, then a host or hostess should be acknowledging my presence right away.
I sometimes is at my booth for maybe 5-10 minutes before the waiter acknowledges that I am there and come to see if we want to start out with some drinks. After the waiter gets our order and brings us our food, he is nowhere to be found. They do not know whether we are satisfied or not. They just walk off and I do not see them until they think that we are finished and ready for the bill. When I look on the menu, the way they have their food displayed is great.
Furthermore in the story, Connie meets this guy name Arnold Friend. Since Connie always seems to be daydream of trashy things, Arnold Friend is someone from her imagination that teaches her a lesson about the life of intimacy.

He goes to all of their dinners and parties when he really doesn’t like any of them. Nick just subconsciously wants to be rich and famous so bad he just follows them around all of them hoping someone might pay a sliver of attention to him. Finally, Miss Jordan Baker is the only character that is tolerable. Yes she may lie and cheat, but she minds her own business and just has fun.

Stick with One Dessert With potluck meals, you’re often faced with an array of tasty, high-calorie desserts. You can have your cake and eat it too you just can’t have your cake along with cookies, chocolates, and pie. You’ve got to pick and choose Go in there saying “I’m eating one dessert” and stick with it. 9.

It is curious to note that Nick recounts the names off notes he took on a timetable dated July 5, 1922, the day after Independence Day, as if to indicate these people have somehow only just arrived and are enjoying the benefits of independence that they didn't even fight for, another example of their pretentiousness. To conclude, the Jazz Age as Fitzgerald coined, shows that the wealthy love large social gatherings, getting intoxicated and gossip, without knowing who they’re gossiping, drinking and surrounded by. Some know others, but the prime example of this is the attendee’s knowledge of Gatsby – or lack of.

Gatsby may portray that the main reason why he throws massive parties is because he just simply wants to, but the true reason is because he hopes that Daisy will one day show up. Also, Nick, being the grounded man that he is, notices how impersonal Gatsby’s parties are, when he remarks “The bar is in full swing, and floating rounds of cocktails permeate the garden outside, until the air is alive with chatter and laughter, and casual innuendo and introductions forgotten on the spot, and enthusiastic meetings between women who never knew each other's names." (Fitzgerald 45). This quote makes it evident that West Eggers lived only in the present and simply used Gatsby for his generosity. West Eggers are known for their outrageous activities and parties whereas East Eggers carry themselves with more confidence, class, and statue.
I was even more shocked when he asked me if he could sit at my table and keep me company. I was speechless, but I managed to say that was pleasure having his company. I couldn’t lose the opportunity to talk to O’ Sullivan and learn more about his mazing and probably very adventurous
