Great Gatsby Anticipation Guide- Opinions

The statement "money can help us make people fall in love with us" is true in my opinion. I feel this is true because I feel as if you are out and meet two people who are both physically attractive and have a good personality who you like but one has money and one does not I think you would go for the one who has money. I think this because if I did not know either one of the guys prior and was just getting to know them I would try more with the guy with money because more money is appealing than less money. Also I feel as if people like to receive things and if you are in a relationship with someone who has more money and can afford to buy things and give you things you would be more enticed in the relationship and prefer that over a person who can not get things. Therefore I believe that "money can help make us make people fall in love with us"!

The statement "you can never relive the past" is true in my opinion. I feel this statement to be true because the past is the past and you can't ever go back in time and change it or relive it all you can do is move forward. I feel that if you do something once the feeling is magical and new and amazing but when you go do it again it still may feel amaxing but its nothing like the first time, therefore showing that you can never relive the past. For example when you fall in love for the first time you never get those feelings back, the next time you fall in love you may be happy and excited and giddy but you can never have the excitement of the first time you fell in love. Therefore I believe that "you can never relive the past".

Walden

Henry David Thoreau writes about the ideas of non conformity and living a simple life in a non materialistic world. Thoreau wrote "my house was not finished for winter but was merely a defense against the raincoat hour plastering or chimney the walls being of rough weather strained boards with wide chinks which made it cool at night". He is describing his some house that is oohing elaborate just something that will protect him partially from the crazy weather. He is showing that he lives simply. He also says "simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!" again showing that all you need is simple things it the best and easiest way to live happily. He then showed ideas of nonconformity by saying "I learned this at least by my experiment that if one advances confidently in the direction of their dreams and endeavors to live life which he imagined he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours". He followed his dreams and did something that everyone else would of though he was crazy for doing, but he didn't care he did what he wanted. Henry David Thoreau showed that you can live a some life and not conform to society's norm and still live happily and enjoy life even more.

The Tell Tale Heart and Squeaky Boots similarities

Edgar Allen Poes story The Tell Tale Heart and the Squeaky Boots episode of Spongebob have a lot in common. For example in The Tell Tale Heart the man kills his caretaker and is haunted by the sound of a beating heart which ends up being his guilty conscious which is similar to Squeaky Boots because Mr. Krabs continues to hear the squeaking of boots which is his guilty conscious of taking the boots and hiding them. Another similarity is that the man in The Tell Tale Heart snaps and confesses that he killed his caretaker who had an evil eye and in Squeaky Boots Mr. Krabs snaps and confesses he stole the boots. The last similarity is that in The Tell Tale Heart the man hides the body under the floor boards and in Squeaky Boots Mr. Krabs hides the boots under the floor boards. The story of The Tell Tale Heart and Squeaky Boots are both similar in many ways. They are similar in the way the crime was committed and how they dealt with it.
