chapter 3, 4, and 5 for The Great Gatsby

Chapter 3:::::

So I think its cool the Gatsby is a cool guy and is well known... but I’m not a big fan of the reasoning. I don't think a person should have a lot of friends and be well known just because they throw big elaborate parties in their mansion. but hey I guess if he doesn't have a problem with it I don't either its his life... also, another thing about Gatsby he has got to get tired of people drooling over how nice his stuff is.. I mean seriously that kind of thing has got to get annoying he can't help that he can afford nice things and that he is in the category of the wealth. One thing that I do happen to like about Gatsby though is the fact the he does not drink, that he keeps away from the party. I like this because it shows that he can be responsible and mature. It also shows that he has good will power and self control because usually when a person is surrounded by people who are drinking its hard to not fall into the pressure around you. So what I don’t get is why Nick would follow Daisy and Tom’s advise about seeing Jordan Baker when he knows that she is a fundamentally dishonest person and that she cheated on her last golf tournament. To me that seems like a stupid idea, why would someone be interested in that kind of a person?!?!?! I just think personally that that is one of the weirdest things possible, to be attracted to a person you know is dishonest and really doesn’t care.

Chapter4:::::

In this chapter I don’t know whether to think that Nick believes Gatsby or to think that Nick thinks that Gatsby is making all of this stuff up…. Ok so Gatsby end up getting pulled over for speeding. I don’t quite understand what the white card is. I mean how can a card get you out a ticket with the police, to me that is just a little ridiculous, like the officer even apologized like he should have known better or as if it were some kind of an inconvenience. Nick, this guy I just don’t understand. Why does he think that Gatsby’s wealth comes from him and that one other guy committing a crime together… you know I think Nick just wants Gatsby to be some bad guy and he will think of anything to make him look as if he were some kind of criminal.  It’s a little whack how Gatsby is in love with Daisy because she is a married woman and people should not be crushing on married people that’s just weird and wrong in sooo many ways. It’s a weeee bit crazy how Tom has not been able to stay faithful throughout his and Daisy’s marriage. It is really cute how Gatsby bought his house so that he could be by Daisy that just made me so happy its like one of the cutest things EVER! But hey this book is just like on big love mess, it seems like everyone is with the wrong person in a way.

Chapter 5:::::

I think it is really nice of Nick to be helping out Gatsby. I don’t think its cool that Gatsby was trying to like bribe him into doing it. It was also weird though that Nick didn’t accept the offers either, but hey oh well he is just being a nice guy and helping out so that’s chill. Oh yayy I was really excited the Daisy showed up I was kind of a little nervous and was thinking that she wouldn’t show, but she did so yayy! I liked how Gatsby and Daisy started of all awkward, but then like after they were left alone so a bit they were fine and getting alone really well. I like how Gatsby tell her about his long nights and stuff like that(: so it was really funny how Gatsby and Daisy just forgot about how Nick was with them and he just ended up leaving. Ha that part made me laugh so hard. But it makes me wonder are the two going to fall in love? Is Daisy got to have an affair with her husband? I’m just really curious now to see what happens with the two of them. The way that things are looking now I think there is a possibility that they may fall in love or something will happen that will lead to her doing stuff with him and no longer being as faithful as she is now….

 Question 2:

- The worse case scenerio when that could happen when I share my writing is that everyone will hate it, and people will make fun of me and then I will feel even worse then I already do... :(

THE COLD MAKES ME WANT TO......

the cold make me want to do a lot of things. The cold make me want to go bundle up in about 4 blankets 1 being an electric blanket. It also makes me want to make either hot coco, coffee, or a nice cup of hot tea. Also, it makes me wnat to have my dad or brother start a nice fire for me and my doggy to sit infront of(: ALso, it makes me want to have a nice day and night with my family playing games and such.

Reflection(::::::

Strenghts :::::
> using facts to support the arguemnt
> tying in facts to help
> good use of quotes
> therefore is a good word
> connecting facts to the arguement
> good with counter arguement

Weakness::::::::::
> keeping the writing not sloppy
> refrencing quotes and proper format

what I need to focus on in this essay is keeping my writing making sence. also to make sure that I am using the right format. I also need to make sure that i argue the opposing side with good facts.

The Awakening...... (: woop woop :)

Well Mr. J the thing is I have no idea what I read. I honestly did read the book and i tried to understand what was going on, but I couldn't. I did find the little keys on the bottom of the pages quite helpful, it was a nice little touch to the book. This book wasn't necessarily boring, but I wouldn't say that i got into it as much as I had intended on. I guess if I had to recommend this book I would, but I would tell the person to make sure they concentrate on it and follow along really well so that they understand what they are reading and are not getting lost and confused like I did. I tried to look for the things that represented what the main topics that you had provided for us to help get the meaning of the book and it did help a little , but not much.... ): The first six chapters for me were the most boring because it was just talking about all the different people and their lives and to me that was very boring. I think if I had the option of reading this or a different book I would probably choose a different book. It was not one of my favorites from your class, but I guess we don;t always like all the books that we reed. Although I didn't really enjoy the book it was hard for me to put it down because I wanted to keep reading thinking something exciting would happen or something that would get my interested in the book. SO, I guess that was good that I didn't want to put it down... maybe I did get into the book after all and I just didn't realize it until now... wow that neat. well thats all for now tataaaa
