From Gatsby to Daisy

Dearest Daisy,
words cannot explain nor tongue tell the incompletness I feel in my life. Darn the war for separting you and me. We were meant to be. We still are. You know that I was, am and always will be the only man who will ever make you happy. I certainly feel this way about you. When we kissed on that night, five years ago, I knew for certain that you were an irreplacable part of my future. Those days we spent riding around in your white roadster. Oh how I wish we could go back to that.
We still can and you know it. All you have to do is to leave that beast of a man you call your husband. You know he does not love you. You are just a trophy to him. But to me, you are my everything. All my wealth is meaningless to me without you in my life. I threw so many lavish parties in hope that you would somehow show up to my house.
For the past five years, you have never left my mind. I have never been with another woman because I knew that you were the ONE. Not even at my own parties. I stayed away from my guests, suffering ridicule, all for you. I love everything about you. Your voice cast a spell on me the very first time I heard it. I will treat you the way you deserved to be treated. Why don't you let me love for who you are and not who you should be.

your one and only,
Jay

Digging for more than gold - Passage 3

" I was immediately struck by the number of young English men dotted about; all well dressed, all looking a little hungry and all talking in low earnest voices to solid and prosperous Americans"

This quote shows one of Nick's underlying perceptions and also an aspect of the 1920's. Nick Carraway describes the English men as " all looking a little hungry and all talking in low earnest voices" and the Americans as " solid and prosperous". The way in which he describes the English and the Americans gives off an idea that he perceives Americans as above people from other nations. The young English men seem to be look up to the Americans as roads to wealth and prosperous.The quote also shows that the English men are looking to fulfill the American dream through the Americans. The "low earnest voices" of the English men show that they are humbling themselves before the Americans. It also portrays America a place like no other, where opportunity is found. As if, the young men could not find their fortunes in England. They had to come all the way to America to find their fortunes. This shows the 1920 view as America as the place to be, the only land of oppurtunity.

mile 1 in my shoes

Alright! well for beginners my name is Joshua John. You can call me Josh Or J John. If you can, try not to mix up my first and last names. BUUT if you do, no worries. Okay, let's see. God is a major part of my life. I always try to do what is right. I was born in India, on a late June 26th morning. I moved to America in 2007 and I have lived in Bloomfield ever since. I live with my parents and two younger brothers. I love playing and watching Basketball. I do not have a favorite team but LeBron James is my favorite player. I also love playing Volleyball. I also love watching football( I do not have a favorite team but I usually side with the less popular team). I absolutely adore music. I listen to a variety of music( even French music). I also like to read. I don't like the cold very much. I like to trek when I get the chance. Oh and before I die, I want to do a couple of things. I want to go sky diving, bungee jumping and para sailing. I also want to learn how to surf. Soooo....anybody want to go skydiving? :) I am open to new ideas and i always try to see matters through all possible perspectives. I am impatient at times but I try my best not to be.
