What I See in Literature

The first imagery that I see in the love song story is when it says, "Time to turn back and descend The stairs. For me I see this part of the story as him wanting to try something but he ends up leaving probably out of his comfort zone. Another quote is, "And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat and snicker," He has been close to the footman, also known as death, which means that he is very close to death probalbly from old age or he's been close to death lots of times leaving him to be careful around his surroundings. For the last quote he states," Advise the prince; No doubt; An easy tool," for this quote I see two hidden meanings, the first is that he is using people for his purposes that  can either be bad or good. The second is that he is seen as someone that no one seems to notice.

For my opinion on the theme of the story I would say that it's about a guy who misses a bunch of opportunities that he could've taken but probably thought they would come baack or he felt sacred or uncomfortable about them.

Love Song First Impressions

The tone of the book is set to match the feeling of the person growing older which is him feeling unsure on what to do since he never got around to do stuff and realizes that death will be knocking at his door. He is also overthinking when it comes to doing basic activities like if he should eat peaches and what he should wear. He has been living a comfortable life where he never dared to leave his comfort zone causing him not to do anything that he felt uncomfortable doing until he realizes that when he realizes he doesn't have a lot of time left.

Gatsby Chapter 5 Notes

I didn't have a chance to start reading Chapter 5 of the story because I had to catch up on work from an other class but I will assume that the chapter will be about how Gatsby will meet Daisy in some way and get to know Gatsby more.

Gatsby Chapter 3 Remix

The chapter 3 for The Great Gatsby is for how people act toward Gatsby. For Nick's view on how Gatsby would look, he thought he would be old and very fat. When he meets him first hand, he realizes that  Gatsby actually cares for his guests when he smiles at Nick instead of people just pretending to like each other. We also learn as to why Jordan Baker hang out with Nick which was that she hates careless people, which Nick is the opposite of. WE also learn that Miss Baker is a dishonest person and Nick remembers the incident that happened at where he first saw her.
