Daisy Gatsby

"Your wife doesn't love you," said Gatsby. "She's never loved you. She loves me." "You must be crazy!" exclaimed Tom automatically. Gatsby sprang to his feet, vivid with excitement. "She never loved you, do you hear?" he cried. "She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me. It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart, she never loved anyone except me!" "She does, though. The problem is that sometimes she gets foolish ideas in her head and doesn't know what she's doing. And what's more, I love Daisy too." Gatsby walked over and stood beside her. "Daisy, just tell him the truth - that you never loved him - and it's all wiped out forever," he said earnestly. "I never loved him," she said without hesitation. The words seemed to bite physically into Tom. "I want to speak to Daisy alone," he insisted. "She's all excited now -" "Ev

What if Daisy had Instagram?

If Daisy Buchanan had an Instagram account, I would follow it immediately. Although she is selfish and shallow, she appears to be sophisticated and charming. Thanks to her family and Tom, she enjoys a luxurious lifestyle. It would make sense for her to post at least once, if not twice every day. Daisy is described as wearing clothes that reflect her wealth, and going after guys that are wealthy. Since Daisy loved money and material luxuries, she would have kept up with the latest trends and conformed to societal expectations. She knows how to act in public and gets uncomfortable when things are not perfect. This indicates that she would would have had a high-quality Instagram, that is worth following. Daisy's life is visually perfect. Her hair is always perfect, her jewelry is amazing, and her clothes are fashionable, and her house is beautiful. Her Instagram would likely show all these lavish things in her life. I also searched for Daisy's name on the app to see if there were

The eyes of T.J. Eckleburg

 In Great Gatsby, there is an interesting symbol that is located in the Valley of Ashes. It is the billboard of the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg. It is seemingly looking down on the people who live there. This symbol is described by saying that it has giant blue eyes, lying beneath an enormous pair of yellow glasses passing over a nonexistent nose. The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are really an advertisement for an eye doctor, but they represent so much more in the story. To Nick, it appears that they represent the waste of the past, similar to the abandoned medical practice of Dr. Eckleburg. Throughout the years, the eyes have faded by the sun and rain. This could represent the fact that since the eyes are becoming less noticeable, so is the crime and fraud that is taking place there. We know that the Valley of Ashes is located between East and West Egg. It is almost as if both of these wonderful places are hiding this terrible valley from view. As for the eyes, it looks like they

Economics Explained

Substitutes and complements are related goods of a product. They are very important because they can change the demand for a product. They affect your life every day without you even knowing. We can define one of these fancy words as follows: a substitute is a thing that can be used in place of another thing. Eyeglasses and contact lenses are perfect examples. If the price for one thing is low, the demand for the other thing reduces. For example, imagine that you are in a store that sells both eyeglasses and contact lenses. Now, you see that the price of contact lenses is four times the price of eyeglasses. Then, you automatically buy the eyeglasses. This is the simple way to understand the 'cross-elasticity of demand'. Now, there's this other term called complements. Complements are basically stuff that is bought together, meaning it wouldn't make sense to use one without the other. So, of course, buying one item more leads to buying the other item more. Complements ar
