Nick finds out his second cousin once removed, Daisy was once in love with Gatsby. Unfortunately for Gatsby, Daisy was more focused on money and the social power, so when he went to war, she did not wait for him, and instead married Tom Buchanan who had lots of “old” money. This shows the moral decay of society because Daisy left a man she loved (Gatsby) because she could not wait for him and he did not have the money.

Even if I had not read this story before, I would have picked up on the fact that this singular point would be a catalyst to the rest of the plot.
“ Bryce saying this gives us the impression that he is criticizing Juli and her family, which is completely out of hand and ignorant for him to do. Telling someone that something that is theirs looks like a mess can create so much conflict, which is what happened, but Bryce chose to do it anyways. Page 127 shows the complete opposite. It shows Bryce telling Garrett that Juli’s uncle is retarted, and Garrett then makes fun of Juli and her family for being related to someone that has a disability.

Caligula would likely live a lavished lifestyle supplied from his rich family and enjoy the world because of all the new things he could use and abuse. Caligula’s lifestyle would of course lead to jail from his
