Wealth and greed can easily change a person’s lives. One of the major changes is that you can destroy your life in a way that can affect your decisions in the future. Just like how Tom and Daisy are, in The Great Gatsby. The Great Gatsby is written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, that follows Jay Gatsby, a man who orders his life around one desire: to be reunited with Daisy Buchanan, the love he lost five years earlier. Gatsby's quest leads him from poverty to wealth, into the arms of his beloved, and eventually to death.

Jealousy is the root of a lot problems this is the case with F. Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby. In this book we will talk about how jealousy is the main factor in this topic. Consequently proving how jealous Tom Buchanan is when he is surrounded Jay Gatsby.
Carelessness: Failure to give sufficient attention to avoiding harm or errors; negligence. Being careless is a poor quality that, unfortunately, many people possess. Obviously, every single person has committed an act of carelessness. It is natural for a human to do so. Seldom does carelessness result in a good outcome. When the act seems to be a recurring event, that is when severe action needs to take place.
Tom Buchanan, is the husband of Daisy in F. Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby that has a big lack of morality throughout the book. Tom has a cruel; strong body tone and he lives in East Egg. In the novel, Tom Buchanan takes the role of the antagonist because he prevents Jay Gatsby from living happily ever after. This is in two ways first it's in Gatsby's head which happens throughout most of the book and then by actually denying him from being with Daisy and he also takes actions which lead to Gatsby's death. Tom Buchanan is first introduced as an excellent sportsman but he's wealthy, restless, and cruel, which is a terrible combination. Tom Buchanan' s money makes him very careless and reckless throughout the novel.
In the novel, The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald screwed morality is evident throughout the chapters five and six. Many characters in the novel depicted morality, however, most if not all twisted the morality to better accompany their needs. To begin, one of the characters that demonstrated screwed morality constantly would be Tom Buchanan. Throughout the novel, Tom Buchanan can be viewed as an antagonist due to the fact, he cheated on Daisy, his wife, with Myrtle Wilson. Screwed morality was evident in the quote,“ He frowned. ‘I wonder where in the devil he met Daisy. By God, I may be old-fashioned in my ideas, but women run around too much these days to suit me. They meet all kinds of crazy fish.’” (Fitzgerald, 100) Here one
Compelled, page 18. “Her face compelled me forward breathlessly as I listened-then the glow faded, each light deserting her with lingering regret like children leaving a pleasant street at dusk.” F. Scott Fitzgerald uses compelled here because it often implies control over the person being compelled. Other words like beckoned wouldn’t convey the lack of control Nick felt, despite being otherwise interchangeable.
In the novel The Great Gatsby, F.Scott Fitzgerald depicts the theme of “wealth can breed carelessness” using the literary devices and/or techniques of irony, irony, and point of view. From Nick 's perspective, the wealthy characters of this story tend to act ignorantly and care nothing else besides themselves, which would impact others, including the actions shown by Gatsby, Tom, Daisy, and Jordan.
Throughout the novel, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the affairs of Tom with Myrtle, and Daisy with Gatsby show that one must think before they act. Based on the novel The Great Gatsby, we see that some people in the 1920’s did what was convenient for themselves, whether it was the right thing or the wrong thing to do. People within the novel never thought about the consequences of their careless actions. We have all heard the phrase, “Think, before you act!” This statement would have gone a long way to the characters within the novel if they followed it. Instead of thinking before making certain decisions, the characters in The Great Gatsby would fall prey to horrible consequences due to their hasty decisions.

This question ask if Roark is correct in praising selfishness and denouncing altruism is a trick question. When asking based on the word correct one often wonders on whose view you are speaking through. In my eyes no, Roark is merely passing off his crimes in the name of himself despite the fact that he did bomb and destroy buildings that he did not own. But in Roark 's own eyes he feel that he is right, and that sense the building where supposed to be built in his image they should be made the way he says they should. Often when one acts on selfiness they find themselves in many of the situations that these characters find themselves in. With Roark and Henry Cameron they, throughout the novel try desperately to build the building they want

Scott Fitzgerald, we see that Joe Starks also has a catchphrase of his own that he begins most of his sentences with, but instead of it being Old Sport, it is I,god. When Janie firsts meets Joe Starks, he dreams of getting to be a part of an all colored town and help build it up, and he doesn’t use the term I,god, but instead God. When they first arrive in Orange County he says “God, they call this a town? Why, ‘tain’t nothing but a raw place in de woods”(34), it’s not until later when Joe Starks has gained power in the town that he constantly uses the phrase, I,god in front of everything. The first time he says I,god is when he is wondering who is leading the town “I,god, where’s de Mayor?”(34),
