Thoughts on Mr. Fitzgerald
Although this was not assigned as a blog in class I still felt I should voice my opinion on this novel "The Great Gatsby and illiterate how I feel about this great piece of American literature.
Many people I have talked have told me the same thing, that the first three chapters are boring and hard to read, but I personally believe that Fitzgerald's writing flows so well that the first few chapters are really good and I couldn't stop reading for a while, before it I finished chapter 3 and realized that I had just read chapters 1-3 in thirty minutes, I love this book. On a scale of one through ten, I would have to give this book an eight. I will enjoy reading the rest of this book asap.

A Peom in a Book
And so it happened
that on a warm windy evening
I drove over to East Egg
to see two old friends
whom I scarcely knew at all.
Their house was even more elaborate
than I expected,
a cheerful red-and-white
Georgian Colonial mansion,
overlooking the bay.
The lawn started at the beach and ran
toward the front door for a quarter of a mile,
jumping over sun-dials and brick walks and burning gardens
finally when it reached the house drifting up
the side in bright vines as though from the momentum of its run.
The front was broken by a line of French windows,
glowing now with reflected gold
and wide open to the warm windy afternoon,
and Tom Buchanan in riding clothes
was standing with his legs apart on the front porch.

Conforming- Good, Bad, or Useless
People always asks me why I am so different and why I don't just "act normal" or be less weird. People ask me to conform with society and I tell them "no, why should I?" I'm nice to people, I treat everyone equally and i don't act as though I am better then anyone at all. I mean, its not like I ask for much, just respect and equality, that doesn't mean I want to look and act like everybody else. I like the way I am and the way that I act. I want to wear a lock around my neck, and wear my favorite trench coat without any one calling me stupid or acting like I'm going to shoot up the school or something. I'd rather live in peace without the "popular" people trying to put me down.
What I'm trying to say is I don't care what other people think about me, if Im cold, I'll wear my trench coat, and if I'm in love I'll wear a lock around my neck. I honestly don't care what others want me to do or what they want me to look like, because I like the way I look and act.

Outward Apperances
I have learned many thing within my life and one of the most profound things i have learned is that outward appearances are often deceptive. I have been bullied all my life both physically and mentally and I have come to learn that a lot of the "pretty" people are some of the worst bullies of them all. This probably roots from their belief that they are better then everyone because they are better looking then everyone. For example,(I will not use real names to spare the people involved of shame) a guy normally referred to as "good looking" by the name of Ralor Todriguez would treat me like was a lesser human then he was just because I'm different. Many people who are good looking usually become popular because everyone wants to go out with them so in conclusion society today is mostly based on appearance In my opinion society's empty love of beauty and wealth are in sequential all I want is for people to be good to each other no matter how the other looks.
