This quote was written to express that we always want more of something we cant have. Time is constantly going by and we always seem to want something more. This is just another reason to live every day like its your last and dont take things for granted. Time is the ultimate form of wealth and can be spent in the best of ways but can also be used poorly.
When making a new years resolution you have to set a reasonable that you think you can obtain to better yourself. My New Years Resolution is get into better shape. I live an active lifestyle but belive i can still better myself. The way the outcome will be different is i will set goals that i will obtain slowly such as speed up my mile time and be able to lift more. Eating better will also be a big part of this, giving me the energy to be able to workout everyday. RainEveryone who has lived cam tell you rain has an affect one way or another on your life. Notice how some movies use rain at funerals to emphasize sadness and depression. Using rain sets a kind of mood that can not be replicated by just normal daylight. I myself like the rain in small doses as long as it does not interfere with my activities. Some people love the rain and stormy weather because you don't have to worry about putting a good day to waste and just sit inside and watch Netflix all day. Having clouds around all day is like having sun glasses on all day it takes out the intensity of the sunlight and makes for a more calm soothing work day. The rain can be looked as booth good and bad depending on your personality type but does create an effect that can not be replicated by anything else in writing.
The Build Up or AttainmentAlmost always when you build something up in your head you give this product a lot of credit and make it seem as though this product would make your lifestyle better. This has happened to me several times especially when going to see a game or movie you usually build it up making it look like the best movie your ever going to watch. The reason this happens can be because of others that influence your opinion.
So far at this point in the book my favorite character in the book is Gatsby. Gatsby is by far the one of the most sucsessful people in the book. If Gatsby and i were to hang out it would consist parties and driving nice cars. This of course does not mean overall happiness but it would be fun for awile What the American Dream Looks Like.To make this American dream come true you don't need to be a billionaire but still a hard working individual. This dream includes having to work every week going to college most likely and a having a family. The idea is to have the white picket fence in a neighborhood where everyone knows each other.
The sentence "Catherine was a slender, worldly girl of about thirty, sticky bob of red hair and milky white skin." The reason this sentence stuck out for me is because when i hear red hair i think of my own red hair. this worldly girl is described with such detail its hard to forget about her.
The idea of the american dream is a universal term saying that anything you desire to achieve can be achieved. My family and i both agree that the american dream is one that consist of an upper class lifestyle. The only thing that my parents had to say that i did not initially mention was the idea to chase your own personal dreaam
The American Dream is the idea of coming to america and living an above average life style. This life style in my opinion includes having a big family with a big house. The whole package would not be complete without the dog, family car, and large pay check that supports you and your family's active life style. The american dream will be different based on who you ask and where they are from. But in america everyone has the opportunity to make this a reality.
