This person was his first lover Daisy. Gatsby and Daisy had a connection to each other before Gatsby left for the military. Along came Tom who tied the knot on Daisy. This left Gatsby heartbroken and everything he did in his life later on was to impress Daisy and hope she showed up to one of his extravagant parties. Everything in his house he looked at through Daisy; “he hadn't once ceased looking at Daisy, and I think he revalued everything in his house according to the measure of response it drew from her well-loved eyes” (Fitzgerald 5.112).
Rhyming serves the purpose of making a song more interesting. David Bowie begins the song with a scheme of AAAA, where he says, ¨So many mothers sighing¨, ¨We had five years left to crying¨, ¨Earth was really dying,¨ and ¨Then I knew he was not lying.¨ There is no pattern with rhyming in the poem until the last stanza, which used the rhyme scheme of AABBCC. He rhymed talk with walk, eyes with surprise, and lot with got.
Finally, a bit later into the book, we get more on Gatsby’s weird way of thought. Through the quote, “After she had obliterated four years with that sentence they could decide-”, we see Gatsby not really having a grip on reality. He thinks he hasn’t aged (or changed with age) and nothing has happened between those four years that would be significant enough to change Daisy. One month can change someone, so thinking Daisy would be the same person and in love with him is just something a child would think. He goes on to further confirm his childish thought process by saying, almost like a kid who hasn’t gotten their way, “‘Can’t repeat the past?’
‘You can’t repent the past.’ ‘Can’t repeat the past?’ He (Gatsby) cried incredulously. ‘Why of course you can!’ (Fitzgerald 110).
Gatsby does not know it, but by taking the blame for the death of Myrtle, he is choosing his own death. While in Nick’s house Daisy remarks, we have not met for many years, Gatsby adds,”’ Five years next November’”(Fitzgerald 87). Nick invited Daisy over for tea, as a part of Gatsby’s plan. Once everyone gets there they all start talking, Daisy says they have not seen each other in so long. Gatsby knows the exact date since the last time that they have seen each other.
Gatsby tells Nick, his neighbor, that Daisy did not enjoy the party and that he wishes she could just understand. He wants her to tell her husband Tom that she never loved him thus they can get married and have times back to the way they were five years ago. Nick proceeds to tell Gatsby, “I wouldn’t ask too much of her,” Nick ventured. “You can’t repeat the past.” “Can’t repeat the past?”
On June 10th, Charlie writes, “... Algernon died two days ago … His brain had decreased in weight” (Keyes, 302) and “Motor activity impaired. I keep tripping over things” (Keyes, 303). After Algernon’s death and autopsy, it reveals that his brain had shrunk and smoothed out. Charlie doesn’t want that to happen to him, but he knows it is inevitable.
On the same week, Cinderella was sent home by the prince. Originally, Prince Charming was to have one of his servants send her back, but because he felt bad for Cinderella, especially after all the memories he had made with her, he decided it would be best if he returned her home himself. However, whilst saying his goodbyes to Cinderella, Anastasia walked out just in time to see the prince and almost instantly, the both of them fell in love. Anastasia offered to show the prince around and in this time, they learnt so much about each other and knew that they were perfect for one another.
Gregor’s initial reaction to his transformation shows his preoccupation with work. His confusion over his radical transformation does not last long, quickly becoming concerned with work and disregarding that he woke up physically transformed into a monstrous vermin. Immediately after realizing he had transformed, Gregor explains, “Well, I haven’t given up hope completely; once I’ve gotten the money together to pay off my parents’ debt to [the boss] that will probably take another five to six years… But for the time being I’d better get up, since my train leaves at five” (4). The quick transition of Gregor’s thoughts from the initial shock to his economic duties reveals his ironic nonchalant attitude towards his nonsensical transformation and
The second idea highlighted by symbolism is the idea that “time is money.” After Gatsby’s first encounter with Daisy when they were younger, he did everything in his power to become a good fit for her and her lifestyle. Five years had passed since they were in love and in those five years Gatsby served in the military, returned and became rich, and did everything
Gatsby creates an illusion of Daisy over a five year period after facing her rejection. Gatsby views Daisy as a symbol of his rise to the top. Daisy initially rejects Gatsby due to his lack of money and their different social positions. He then “invented just the sort of Jay Gatsby that a seventeen-year-old boy would be likely to invent.” This invention also makes it impossible for Daisy to fully know him, and consequently unable to love him.
2. How does Nick describe himself at the beginning of the novel? Nick describes himself as someone who does not pass judgment on people. He is from a well of family from the midwest.

When Tom leaves the room to make the guests cold drinks, she kisses Gatsby and tells him she loves him. The nanny brings Daisy’s child to see her. Gatsby is stunned by the child as he did not think it to be real and Daisy does not appear to be very maternal
