Prufrock response

  We read the love song of Alfred J. Prufrock in Dr. Preston's English class. After examining its flow I realized that this is a free verse poem. Something that catches your attention right away is the first  stanza that is in another language. The last line of this lengthy poem is similar to that of The Great Gatsby because both pieces of writing end with the theme.

wild wednesday 3/14

 Today, of coarse, is Wednesday and like all other Wednesdays we are given the opportunity to research information about college and careers. I mentioned in the last wild Wednesday post about horticulture but I aspire to be a real estate agent, kinda like my mother! During this time I hit up my mother about what websites might I want to look into and she referred me to this website. After her words of wisdom and guidance we discussed that if I was inclined to it I could become a real estate agent as early as 18 years old. Id still be a senior in high school with a license!! I couldn't express enough how grateful I am that I have her by my side.

the great gatsby essay prompt

prompt 3 - How does Fitzgerald’s characterization create a tone around the theme of happiness?  What is Fitzgerald’s attitude toward happiness?  Does it depend on love, on external markers such as wealth, on repairing or atoning for the past, or on something that is unattainable?

    Fitzgerald's characterization creates a tone around the theme of happiness through the actions, decisions, and word play used by  the characters. The main characters often play a facade to mask their true feelings and prove that they aren't true. This is shown when Gatsby tells Tom about the affair. He seems almost suave and carefree but we can infer that he was offended when Daisy left with Tom because Gatsby stood outside Toms house keeping an eye on Daisy.
    Another event that occurs can also prove happiness was that involving Mr. Wilson. Out of desperation, Mr. Wilson guns down Gatsby as he assumed Gatsby killed Myrtle Wilson and killed himself as a result. Again, we can infer that Mr. Wilson's love for Myrtle caused him to take drastic measures to avenge his loved one.

Wild Wednesday... ON A FRIDAY?!?!

As I was unable to post on Wednesday or Thursday, I figured, better late than never! So on Wednesday Mr. Preston gave me the opportunity to dive more into adulthood, I research some info about college! In my readings I obviously found out that Allen Hancock is among the cheapest and closest college in my general vicinity. Also I learned that if I cared to pursue any type of horticultural career, the best college around for that major would be Cal Poly. (to be continued)
