Whether all of the decisions made by the two mentors we're “right” is debatable, but they wanted the absolute best for Romeo and

Gatsby has fallen under love’s spell and has completely changed himself for the dream of being with the one he admires. In the novel the lucky lady ends up being Daisy Buchanan a women he met previously before the war but fate has wronged him with having him fall for the ever so lovely Daisy, though the name Rose maybe more appropriate for her. Her beauty is a mask for the intelligence and self centeredness. “Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther” (Fitzgerald 180).

This is supported with Montag and Mildred’s relationship and how Mildred says the parlor walls are “really fun” (18), but she still tried to commit suicide.

7. Which character (or characters) do you believe is the greatest influence on Esperanza and her life? How did they influence her? Use evidence from three different vignettes to prove your claims. The characters that I think influenced Esperanza in the book her mom because whenever she had a problem or if something was going on in her life and if she thought something was wrong but people still did it like when tito’s friends took her friends key and said they wouldn’t give it back unless she would give each of them a kiss for them back and she did not think that they should make her do that to get her keys back.

However, Janie appeared to have finally found her true happiness once she met Tea Cake. As I stated earlier Janie Crawford had two previous marriages before eventually meeting Tea Cake and neither of those marriages panned out well either.

Logan would then get her to help him with his framework, and make her feel less than what she should be feeling.

He feels that Daisy is still the same women she was 5 years ago because she has grew feelings for Tom over the years in their marriage.

Finally Gatsby and Daisy were not meant for eachother because he was still living in the past and Daisy is already in love

In the beginning, their relationship was based purely out of physical attraction. Catherine was engaged but when her fiancee died, she experienced the true horrors of the war.

It was at this point when she had started seeing Jody, for whom she had felt love. However, as the years went by, Jody had repeatedly suppressed Janie’s true self, although unknowingly. Due to this, Janie had bottled up her feelings of resentment despite Jody even lashing out at her on several occasions. She had kept those emotions pent up inside her not because she was scared of Jody but as a sign of strength to be able to persevere under such circumstances. The situation had worsened between them as years went by, and Jody had even passed away due to an illness.

Even though Logan was not a bad man, Janie did not love him, and ended up leaving him for her second husband, Jody.

A few years into the marriage, Jody started beating Janie because of his own insecurities that were too much for him to control. The main two of these insecurities would be jealousy and his own aging body. These two things do not go very well when mixed with having a beautiful and young wife.

Odysseus’ relationship with Circe keeps him from returning home because he stays there for a year. Odysseus says “So she enticed and won our battle-hardened spirits over.” (245:10: 513-514) While Odysseus is there, he is so enamored with Circe that he forgets about the home he loves so much, and the son and wife who he had left behind.

This shows that Odysseus may be a lot more fake than he lets on because for all his talk of wanted to return home he spent a year on Circe’s island not making an effort to return to his homeland.

A classmate named Karen had once told me I was beautiful, and by the third grade two boys had asked me to be their girlfriend, all of which bewildered me (62) While there is a common transition among pre-pubescent or pubescent children to an increased concern in appearance, it is evident that Grealy’s fixation on her outward appearance takes an unnatural turn. Being a cancer survivor undoubtedly changes one’s self-perception. Initially, Grealy pursued affirmation and acceptance from her
