What is Gatsby's true background? Did Nick ever go to the war? How much are the pearls worth in today's currency? How did Mrytle explain the broken nose?

Town Tattle

The apartment was on the top floor--

a small living room,

a small dining room,

a small bedroom...

The living room... crowded

a set of tapestried furinture entirely too large...

the only picture... a hen sitting on a blurred rock.

From a distance... the countenance of a stout old lady beamed down into the room.

Old copies of "Town Tattle" lay on the table...

a reluctant elevator boy...

a box full of straw and some milk...

large dog biscuits... decomposed apthetically in the suacer of milk...

(Fitzgerald 33)

The Sad Truth

Since the dawn of man, people have been judging others based only on their appearance. Romans use to leave a baby to die if it looked like it had any deformities. Some people might try to say they don't judge people on how they look, but more often than not they do. I know I have judged people by the way they look. Sometimes the people we judge are actually good people, but we don't give them a chance to show us what they are really like. I have become real good friends with people that I would not have hung around if they were not friends of my friends. There are also some people that look very innocent on the outside, but they might be doing a lot of bad things and just never got caught. If people were just judge by what they have done and not how they look, the world would be a much better place. There are a lot of people that get passed up for something they might have been really good at, but since they didn't look the part they were not given a chance. It just goes to show that old cliché is true; you can't judge a book by its cover. In the future my significant other's looks and amount of money will not matter. What will matter is if she is a nice person and we both respect each other.
