Whenever You Fell Like Criticizing Anyone He Told Me

“In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since. Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, he told me, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had” (Fitzgerald 1).

2. The main idea of this quote is that not everything inherently given to you is meant to be acted upon. For example, say a woman has been cheated on by her previous boyfriend. From then on, she is skeptical, and has trust issues with future lovers; Those of which cause her to believe that it’s okay to have all of their social media passwords, and forbid them from being friends with other girls. Sure, she has the right to do so; She has been hurt. But on the other side of the spectrum, her future boyfriends didn’t do anything to deserve that. This quote still proves useful today, because it helps readers see another perspective than theirs, and question their moral standpoint.

Reasons: Some of the reasons I think this statement is not true are, even thought society has improved since historical times, society still has many problems and is nowhere near being a perfect world and fixing every flaw. We see and hear about people around us getting hurt everyday from various issues that have not been solved, yet we have not made a serious effort in order

“Whenever you feel like criticizing any one . . . just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had” (1).

In the first chapter of Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, the narrator, Nick Carraway, says that he is “…inclined to reserve all judgments” because the people he might criticize haven’t had all the advantages

The quote teaches a valuable lesson too. The lesson it teaches later in life or sooner is that if you just wait, soon it will later happen, you must be patient and later something unremarkable and so valuable you would do outstanding, and once you do that it will or should remain a memory or it should.

“You don’t change the world with the ideas in your mind, but with the conviction in your heart.”

Furthermore my interpretation of this quote is that the person who throws hate or violence, they are not making themselves better they are really making themselves worst. Doing these types of things makes other people upset and can lower their self-esteem. I have seen racism everywhere. For example, Donald Trump is not the best person because he is kind of racist, but he doesn't keep it to himself, he makes sure everyone knows it and that's rude. People don't notice how

I Agree with this quotation because it is very true, you can't determine a persons character by who they are when everyone is watching. Obviously everyone is watching so they are going to try to be a better person than they truly are. but when they're by themselves or "in the dark" they are going to be them true self because nobody is watching so if they make a mistake they can just say that it didn't happen because nobody was there to see it

“Humankind has been sustained not merely by its intelligence, but by its capacity to hope.”

“We as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves.” This quote is written by Barbara Jordan. This quote means we should judge people based on looks or their opinions of thing. We have to accept people no matter how different or alike are are.

“Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone… just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had” (Fitzgerald 1). In Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, the portrayal of the characters in the novel show them as hypocritical. This claim that can be shown through examination of three of the main characters and their actions: Nick’s honesty and judgement, Tom’s affair, and Gatsby’s nobility. Each of these character’s hypocritical flaws can be reflected by someone in Fitzgerald’s life, whether it be him or just someone participating in it.

I like your quote but I what find amazing about this quote, is the fact that it emphasizes how people who fail to learn will be condemned to repeat it. Condemned, here illustrates that the past which is hunting will be repeated. For example, many of us have heard or watched movies pertaining to the Holocaust; but there a section of the society who believes or pretend the holocaust never took place. For those people, when this event appears on the horizon the will be condemned because they refuse to believe the first

Now how this quote is still relevant to our society four decades after it was written. How, as the people of this world, can we call ourselves brave if we still have a fear of the unknown? How, as the people of this world, can we claim to be free is we are not equal? And how, as the people of this world, can we expect to put a ban on love? Or on who or how we love?
