Love can prove to be the most beautiful emotion out of all that can help one self or another evolve and bloom the pedals of their personalities and/or mindset that would leave the sweet scent of Romeo and Juliet. Or love can prove to be a fallout that would aide in the shattering or destruction of oneself or another which would leave a stench of The Great Gatsby. Personally, I feel that love should be a trigger that sets off a growth in oneself. The growth should be a positive force that evolves, teaches, and connects you a little more to the center of your personality. It shouldn’t have a negative impact that make you deviate from the main attribute that makes you special as an individual. An example of this is the effect on Jo March after

Love is classified as the stereotypical eccentric and bubbly emotion with a fairly positive connotation. When you feel love, you feel like you are walking on air and you don’t understand it but all you know is that you are feeling the quintessence of happiness. In a relationship, love makes you feel a oneness with another human being. You feel like you are the only two people in the world and nothing can break it apart. Love can do all these things but it's not all happy. When
It may seem as if F. Scott Fitzgerald intended for the parties in chapters two and three to highlight how luxurious and fun life was in the 1920’s, with all the parties and wealth that everyone had of course it would seem like heaven. Although it's deceiving, Fitzgerald actually is talking about how alcohol, materialism, and how new technology negatively affects the characters lives.

Love is a force that inspires us to feel more, do more, and sometimes sacrifice for the object of our attention. Poems, music, relationships are all written in the name of love. There are six kinds of love, according to the ancient Greeks:
“The greatest thing in life is love, and be loved in return” (Eden Ahbez). “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things” (Cor 13:7). Love also influences all things. It is a powerful force that drives people to do things they would normally not do. In the news, there are several instances of murder in the name of love or robbing a bank because a person needs money for the person they love. There are also everyday instances of moving cross country for the person you love, leaving the person you love just to see them happy, or choosing another career path just to be with your significant other. In the literary works The Epic of Gilgamesh and Medea. Gilgamesh and Medea prove
Love is said to be one of the most desired things in life. People long for it, search for it, and crave it. It can come in the form of partners, friends, or just simply family. To some, love is something of a necessity in life, where some would rather turn a cold shoulder to it. Love can be the mixture of passion, need, lust, loyalty, and blood.

Love can do many things. It can be both harmful and beneficial. Love can scar, and love can inspire. Love can torment, and love can encourage. Love can irritate, and love can comfort. The unseen force of love can go even further than that, though. Love can
Sanjana: Hello everyone! This is the Early Morning Show, and I’m your host Kara. Today we’re paying tribute to Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald and will remember him and his work by watching an interview from 78 years ago, that to place in this very building. Before we start I’d like to say that Francis was a creative man, and died of a heart attack while writing what would soon be his last piece of work, The Last Tycoon.
To be rich is many things. One could be rich in money, knowledge, power, or love. In the setting of the book The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the rich which he defines is having money. It seems that most people are well known because they have money, and any event that concerns them is interesting to the public. This is true for Mr. Gatsby; the rich, mysterious character who captures all of the attention. This story follows the main character Nick Carraway and all that he encounters during his short time living in West Egg, New York. Nick describes all that happens pertaining to his neighbor Mr. Jay Gatsby, his cousin Daisy and her husband Tom Buchanan, and their guest Jordan Baker. In this novel he uncovers the unhappiness of the characters, and the not so hidden affairs which occur. By the end of the book Nick concludes who he thinks Mr.Gatsby is and why he was obsessed with Daisy. Some events that happen in this book that have caught the attention of the audience are the few instances of mild language and sexual references. These were reasons The Great Gatsby was challenged and put on the Banned Book list of 2000-2009. Although this book is banned, it should be available to all who choose to read it, but to understand the level of content discussed it is seemingly appropriate for an older audience. Not only does Fitzgerald capture the intriguing life of Mr.Gatsby, but his use of sharp social insights throughout the plot is a key attribute to this book.

For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the
