in today's class we talked about a lot of things. a topic that stood out to me was making it in america. some believe that if you don't come from a wealthy family you won't be able to be successful in life. i believe that if you fully commit to something & work hard for it , you will achieve your goal. i know this from experience from having terrible grades & doing bad to turning it all around & maintaining higher than a 3.0. most people can talk  about their dreams & goals & what they're gonna do about it, but actions speak louder than words.

In the last 100 years society has definitely changed. There's not so much racism or sexism against women & there is definitely more respect for women. We have learned to show more respect & less hate. Not that it has fully been erased, but there has been a big change.

Chapter 3 Remix

In chapter 3, Nick meets Gatsby. Gatsby throws a big party to show of just how wealthy he is. Nick doesn't realize he's speaking to Gatsby until he announces himself. They get along as if they were brothers & they were very interested in learning more & more about each other.
