Austin felt the vibrations travel through the floor beneath his feet, and up the legs of the chair on which he sat”. This is the expected reaction upon this news.

He said "Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees- very gradually- I made up my mind, and thus rid myself for the eye forever,". The chills, discomfort, and sense of unreality are all symptoms of Panic Disorder and Anxiety Disorder.
Everyone wants to fit in either in school or at work and in the short essay “White Lies”, Erin Murphy discusses how a little girl is being bullied at school and what she does to prevent it. In the fourth paragraph it states, “ All of this changed in mid-October when Connie’s father got a job at a candy factory, news Connie announced tentatively one rainy day during indoor recess” (Paragraph four). Because Connie was an albino she was viewed differently in everyone’s eyes. She decided to announce to everyone that her father worked in a candy factory, therefore everyone would like her. When the news came out everyone started to like Connie because she bought everyone free candy.

Because of this view of a person, Squeaky dosn’t act kind to anyone, or even think kindly about anyone. Do you know the phrase, "You can’t love others without loving yourself?”
To emphasize, Sammy displayed several signs of immaturity throughout the story. He shows his immaturity with his sexist attitude towards women by questioning if they really had a mind or if it is “just a little buzz like a bee in a glassjar.” Not only does his sexism show his immaturity, but also the way he refers to his customers as sheeps, house slaves, witch and even food products. Furthermore, he had the chance to reassess his decision of quitting his job and is immature to go through with it just because he thinks that it is fatal if he does not (Updike). Nevertheless, Sammy seems to redeem himself by growing up and exhibiting good morals by making a sacrifice of defending the girls against Lengel.
He also says that the men are “I don’t like the looks they’re giving you in the candy store. And with them new high heels on the sidewalk – clack, clack, clack. The heads are turning like windmills.” She seems to be like candy to the men of Red Hook and everybody is attracted to her, including Eddie.
The stories Leka has told Stephen have really opened his eyes and mind to the idea of beauty which was something he has never considered before. Leka believes a real man is sensitive and expressive of his emotions. “There is not much room in the world for glass roses.” Initially, Stephen doesn’t see the value in something like glass roses.

Her motivation to do this is because she wants people to think she is rich just like Daisy’s motivation. The outcome of her having an affair makes her an unfaithful wife to her husband. Finally, Jay Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan and Myrtle Wilson are the characters in the novel that put on untruthful identity for them to cover their mistakes, and their motivations show what kind of
Sammy’s failed attempt goes unnoticed, and Lengel offers to give Sammy another chance. Sammy however, thought that taking it would be a “fatal not to go through with it. ”(Updike.19). Sammy exits the store, being jobless and failing his goal of wooing Queenie. Nonetheless, Sammy’s act of standing up for Queenie because of her attire is what makes him a hero.
Even Nick, who is an extremely pure and honest character in the novel decides after a while that she is not interesting to him. Fitzgerald also gives Jordan negative attributes, like being a liar, cheater, arrogant, and she does not think the rules apply to her. None of these are positive things that someone strives to be, and Jordan is all of these things. Nonetheless, Jordan Baker is treated like a queen compared to Myrtle
Sammy’s gives every single detail about Queenie. “She was the queen. She kind of led the other two peeking around and making their shoulders round. She didn’t look around, not this queen, she just walked straight on slowly, on these long white prima donna legs” (Upbike). This shows that Sammy didn’t care about the job neither his boss’ opinion, his goal was to impress Queenie.
Scott Fitzgerald reinforces the oppression of women through his menial depiction of women. Fitzgerald uses his character, Daisy Buchanan, to represent the selfish and shallow perspectives on upper-class women during his era. He contrasts this image of wealthy society by using Myrtle Wilson, a needy mistress, to manifest the greed existent within the women at the bottom of the social hierarchy. Jordan Baker embodies a highly modernized and independent female during the time, yet she is constantly treated unequal to men.

If his mind is not occupied by his mistress Myrtle, he is drowning in thoughts of Gatsby’s suspected crime-filled life. “Indeed, Tom Buchanan's sources appear most reliable in his characterization of Gatsby's drug store chain as ‘just small change’ compared to his stolen bonds” (Pauly 116). Buchanan is a hypocrite towards Gatsby.

Tom is competing with Gatsby through deception and treachery, and their dangerous habits wound them
