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.
