FIRST IMPRESSION: SELF-ALLIANCE

My first impression on the essay was that we should not do what society expects us to do and accomplish. After reading that I got some understanding that people are afraid to go outside the box and speak their mind. For example, when teachers ask us if we have any questions, comments, or concerns more than half the time no one asks any questions when deep down we know we have something to say. Is it because no one is asking anything? Is it because we are afraid? Is it because we  are too afraid to get judged by our classmates? When I found out the first sentence was written in Latin I was curious and never seen that on an essay , I feel like it was there for us to find a meaning behind that to keep on reading the whole essay. All these words from the essay I never heard of till Dr. Preston analyzed mostly every sentence or two for us to understand which was so helpful and learned new words and meanings as we read along together.

The Great Gatsby chapter 7 notes

Gatsby stops throwing parties because he finally has what he want and it’s Daisy. He also seeks privacy. He fires his servants because he doesn’t want gossiping or rumors to go around and the Wolfsheim are sketchy. Gatsby’s reaction to Daisy’s daughter is super sweet towards her. Tom begins the confrontation because he pointed out Gatsby on saying old sport too much and saying he runs a bootleg operation causing Gatsby to lash out. After they head back Myrtle runs out on the road causing them to run her over and killing her. Daisy is Gatsby’s fantasy and it turned out Daisy was driving the car so Gatsby was outside waiting for Daisy to go to sleep but it doesn’t really seem to bother Daisy that she ran over and killed a women.
