D.O.S

In the book Death of a Salesman it shows who tells the truth and who tells the lie. As a reader I found out that Willy is very ambitious. " You and Hap and I, and I'll show you all the towns." - In this line I think that Willy is very ambitious because he is telling his son's  Biff and Happy about going to different states in America but he wasn't able to accomplish it. I also think that Willy is a cheater because when he was in Boston he was with a woman in his hotel room and his wife Linda didn't know all the crazy stuffs he does while he was in Boston. "You know why I had no address for three months? I stole a suit in Kansas City and I was in jail"-Biff. In this line Biff reveals the truth about what happened to him he is telling the truth to his father Biff is being honest. "And I never got anywhere because you blew me full of hot air I could never stand taking orders from anybody" I think  Biff is very mad and irritated on how he's father gave him orders and not giving anything to Biff,Happy & to his wife. I think Willy Loman was successful because he choose to commit suicide because in my own opinion I think Willy believes that committing suicide is the answer to their problems because if he commits suicide he knows that he can receive a money from the life insurance company and I think the reason why he committed suicide is to help his family pay their debts and so that his son will have a better future because back then when he was still alive he wasn't able to fulfill his tasks as a father because he's poor & his money is not enough to support his family.

Great Gatsby 4

In chapter 7 and 8 I think this chapter is about the difference between truth and lying. In my own opinion I think you should tell the truth because if you tell the truth that means your being honest to yourself and to the people around you. And if you are lying you can physically and mentally hurt people and you can hurt yourself. By lying things can happen because of  "lies" and there could be bad consequences from lying. for example in the book "The Great Gatsby" Tom buchannan was lying to Wilson about Myrtyl's death Tom is trying to put the blame on Gatsby about what happen to Myrtyl and the consequence was Wilson killed the wrong person because Tom and his wife Daisy hide the truth that Daisy is the one who killed Myrtyl and not Gatsby. That's why you really have to tell the truth no matter what happen because if you lie you can hurt people and also you can hurt yourself.

The Great Gatsby 3

In chapter 6 Gatsby wants to go back to the past and while I was reading this chapter I felt the same way as Gatsby did. I would like to redo my past and go back to when I lived in the Philippines and I was a very popular girl in my school and in the city I grew up in. I wanted to redo my past because back then I had a lot of friends and everybody knew me. I was in varsity basketball girls in my school and a music performer. When my family moved to America my life had changed. For example, nobody knows me here and they just know me as an ordinary person like them. But when I was in the Philippines everybody would run to me to take pictures with me and I would sign my autograph. In my opinion you can really bring back the past if you really want to and if you pursue it. Someday I may be popular here in America and in my school. I just have to become social and get involve with extra curricular activities at school.

Great Gatsby 2

In chapter 4 I found the story very interesting because Gatsby did so many things  to get the woman he loved. For example,  He bought newspapers to read about Daisy (the woman he loves), and her where abouts. Also, he bought a beautiful mansion across the bay from Daisy's house so he can catch a glimpse of Daisy because he is obsessed with the very beautiful girl in his world. One more thing that Gatsby did was asked Nick to invite Daisy for tea at his house so he can spend some time with her and possibly have a good conversation with her. Gatsby is very captivated with Daisy's gorgeous face. I think Gatsby is very romantic in the way he acts and he expresses his feelings towards Daisy. In my opinion,  Gatsby is the man that every woman dreams about and falls in love with in their lifetime. In my future, I would like a man like Gatsby to treat me like a queen and love me to death.

The Great Gatsby 1

In my opinion the theme in chapters 1 and 2 is about "relationships" between a man and a woman. In chapter 2 I found a quote that suggest that many woman are married after a certain time passes. The wife may want to leave their husband because they found another man to love because their not happy in their current relationship. In this quote "she really ought to get away from him, "And  they've been living over that garage for eleven years and Tom's the first sweetie she ever had." In my own understanding I think Catherine is talking to Myrtyl about her relationship with her husband Tom. Catherine is trying to explain that her relationship with Tom was tough because they had to lived in the garage for eleven years and it's not fun at all. Catherine is also telling that some woman will marry their husband in a certain period of time then they will divorce their husband because they are not happy with their relationships or whatever reasons.

Snows of Kilimanjaro

In the story Snows of Kilimanjaro, Harry is an opportunist character who reminds me a lot of my crazy dead father. I remember when I was still living in the Philippines my mom told me that my crazy father married her not because he loves her but because of the money that my mom acquired through my grandparents. My mom did not know at first about his real intention because she taught he loved her until one day he wanted my mom to sign the papers about my grandparents inheritance when his name was not included in my grandparents will and testament he got very mad and he filed an annulment for my mom because he was very upset that he did not get any money at all and he told my mom to call the marriage quits because my mom gave all the moneys to the less fortunate individuals in the Philippines, then he revealed that he did not love my mom at all he was only after of the inheritance from my grandparents. "Your dammed money was my armour"-is a very painful line and emotionally and psychologically distressful in Helen's part because Harry confronted her. Harry expressed his real feelings to Helen. In my opinion and in my own understanding in this story Harry is a very rude and mean guy because he was after of Helen's money. "I'm crazy as a coot and being as cruel to you as I can be".- Harry is killing the relationship the way Helen feels. "Love is a dunghill"- this line is very ridiculous because Harry is comparing love into a file of feces. this line makes me laugh because his comparing love into a file of shit.
