Huxley's Foreword to BNW

If we feel bad about something that we know that we did wrong, we shouldn't be thinking of that each time instead we should try to not make the same mistake again. We should let the bad in ourselves to go away and avoided the next time.

Brave New World

There was a time when the future seemed like it was guaranteed to be brighter and better than the present, but in my opinion it had never been that way, because the choices we make now are going to determine our future it is up to us to decide how do we want our future based on the choices we make. the future is  something we can influence by making different choices in the present because if we don't make good choices then our future is not going to be bright. The choices we make now are going to determine our future just as for everything.

What's So Great About Gatsby

Gatsby is great because he was nice to all the people and he would never do anything to hurt them and during his childhood he would set goal that he wanted to accomplish when he grew up. Nick is honest to himself because he would never lie, he would always be honest to himself and the reason why he hangs out with dishonest people is that, he wants to know the life their living because they were born rich and he was born poor, so all he wants to know is how their life is different from his. Fitzgerald describes Daisy and Tom this way:They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”  What Fitzgerald meant was tom and daisy doesn't take responsibility over their actions, instead they let other people to help them out. Tom and daisy doesn't cared about others only themselves. I agree with...

How you know what I know

I know that the only reason that Gatsby bought his house near daisy's house is to impressed daisy and he wants to impressed her everytime he sees her, so she could love him. Gatsby now only cared about what daisy cared about and he wants her love him.

Have to versus Want to

Agreeing to do work for each other is difference from being assigned homework because one is the obligation that you need to finish the work and the other is the work you do for fun.

Gatsby Chapter 5&6

In chapter 5, James Gats changed his named at age 17 and he changed his name to someone he wanted to become and he work very hard trying to become the person he wanted to be. Also in chapter 5, Gatsby does anything to impressed daisy and he doesn't cared about anything else only daisy. In chapter 5, it explains how Gatsby was inherited money from Cody.

Gatsby Chapter 5 notes

Nick invited daisy and he asked her to come alone without tom, then later on daisy meets Gatsby.

Gatsby Chapter 4 notes

The truth that Gatsby tell Nick,  is that all his family had died, but he was rich and all he did was travel around the world to forget about the sad thing that happen to him. I believed in Gatsby because the story he tells makes sense with the thing he had done. Jordan doesn't tell the truth because Nick knew already she was lying because Nick knew what Jordan did but she lied to him about it.

Gatsby Notes chapter 3

Some ladies keep saying that Gatsby has killed a man in the beginning of the chapter 3. Gatsby and Nick were riding together and then Gatsby knew already of the stories they talked about him, so he told Nick that he doesn't want Nick to get a wrong idea of Gatsby from all the stories he hear. Gatsby told Nick a little about his life, Gatsby said  that he was from middle west and he was rich but all of his family had died. Gatsby travel everywhere and always smile trying to forget about that sad thing that happened to him long time ago. When the war came Gatsby try to die so hard but somehow he couldn't die.

Nick's Cardinal Virtue

Nick's Cardinal virtue is being always honest with anybody and he haven't met anybody like himself. Nick's idea is supported by the events, because he has always be honest and he hasn't try to say something that didn't happened.
