The Great Gatsby Dialectical Journal

Authors Note: This Chapters kind of like a Introduction, but I plan for the other chapters to be longer.

Arriving back at his apartment, Booker found Tom curled on the couch, his gaunt face a mask of misery. Dressed in ill-fitting sweats, the borrowed clothing swamped his slender frame, giving him the appearance of someone much younger than his twenty-five years. There was a bucket next to the couch that smelled faintly of vomit and Booker averted his eyes, unable to stomach the sight of the foul smelling liquid. His lower body ached, and all he wanted to do was take a hot shower and go to bed. For the first time since Tom’s arrival, he was aware of the enormity of what he was taking on. He could say goodbye to his carefree bachelor’s life, he was now responsible for a sick and emotionally damaged

11. What type of pants does Tod try at the thrift store? He tries flared pants.

Raskolnikov speaks this quote when he confesses to Sonia. It is significant because it shows he has realized he is not one of the extraordinary men he theorized about. “The devil,” or perhaps foolishness and pride, caused him to murder, and through his guilt he now knows he is not above morality or the law. Raskolnikov also claims that if he were extraordinary, he would not have come to Sonia in anguish. This quote proves he has seen the failure of his own theory.

Walking down the streets of the busy city, a few people spotted them. Malessica could hear her name being called by many civilians, who swarmed her trying to get a picture. Isaac had civilians trying to get pictures with him. Isaac never imagined his personal space would get violated in a city like Costelios.”

20. “The docking module – which looked a lot like a giant version of a propane container you might hook up to your barbeque, only orange…” (Pg. 188) A simile is used to describe the docking module by comparing it to a propane container.

Looks like he’d have to double his efforts to make Virgil sleep, after he discussed his nightmares that was. As a few minutes passed, an idea struck him. He pulled out his phone and switched on Snapchat. He angled his phone above him, smirked at the camera and took a picture of the two of them, adding the caption; ‘Finally got the anxious boi to sleep’ followed by the sleepy emoji and emoji with shades, then uploading it to his story. He also made it a point to take another one with his normal phone camera, just in case he didn’t get to see him like this again. He placed his phone back in his pocket and sighed. What a night. Now he was exhausted. Remy looked over at the clock below the TV and frowned. 1:42am. He glanced back at Virgil, then shrugged. It’d take too long to carry him upstairs, and that would more than likely wake him up, so… looks like he was sleeping here tonight, not that he was complaining, after all, he got to see more of that cute face. So, he shut off the TV, and removed his shades, placing them on the side table behind him, then made himself comfortable. “Sleep dreams, Virge.” He whispered, cuddling a bit close to him, shutting his eyes and joining his friend in the realm of rest. As far as he knew, Virgil had no nightmares that

Harry—and by extension the audience—gets to skip all this (unconsciousness will do that to you). We can assume it's a fairly uneventful trip from where he, Ron and Hermione are found and taken to the school's nursing station, where he rests comfortably until Dumbledore shows up for one last magical bit of plot exposition.

After Peekay wakes up to Hoppie suddenly gone, he finds a note addressed to himself and the end stated, “Say always to yourself, ‘First with the head and then with the heart, that’s how a man stays ahead from the start.’ H.G.” (103). This quote means that it is important to think first before putting all of your feelings into what is that you’re doing. I noted that the author used rhyme in this quote. Rhyme can be used to remember things easily and the reason why the author used rhyme was so that the reader can understand that Peekay is going to continue to remember this quote and so that the reader can also remember what Hoppie said. Peekay wins most of his battles by having a plan first and then using his emotions to perform in the ring. This quote is what Peekay always said to himself during the whole story, meaning that he applied it to everything he did, especially boxing.

It took Harry longer then it should have for him to regain lucidity. The first thing he felt was the slightly too firm bed beneath him, followed by the rise and fall of someone else’s chest and the smell of cigarettes, which made his nose recoil in disgust.

Harry fell silence in the darkness before scrubbing his eyes with the backs of his fists feeling exhaustion rear its ugly head and creep in bed beside him. His lids and head hung heavy. He wanted sleep, needed it. Though it was rare for he and Louis

    It was 7:01 am and Samantha was still sleeping. Today was Monday. Sam walked into Samantha’s room and said, “ WAKE UP!!!!!” Samantha quickly got up and started yelling, “ WHY WOULD YOU YELL!!!!” “Cause you are a deep sleeper”, he said.

“Alright Jenna, you asked for it.” Hannah ripped all the covers off my bunk and pulled me onto my feet. I wasn’t ever going to get any sleep living with her. “Let’s get dressed before the others wake up.” There was the upside to being pulled out of your bunk at 5:00 am. Nobody else was awake.

A loud knock wakes me from the deepest sleep I’ve had in a while. Running my hand across the firm chest that I’m nestled into, I smile to myself. This, laying in bed with Jacob’s arms around me, feels too damn good.

So that night they fell asleep right there on the couch with no more questions the rest of the night, and the morning it was pretty quiet, except for Nick, and him not understanding what was happening.
