The Creative Ways of Fitzgerald

And, after boasting this way of my tolerance, I come to the admission that it has a limit.
Conduct may be founded on the hard rock or the wet marshes, but after a certain point I don’t care what it’s founded on.
When I came back from the East last autumn I felt that I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever; I wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart....

If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life, as if he were related to one of those intricate machines that register earthquakes ten thousand miles away.
This responsiveness had nothing to do with that flabby impressionability which is dignified under the name of the “creative temperament.”— it was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again. . (Fitzgerald 6)

Marry for Money?

     Love is indescribable. When you deeply love someone, and your ready to tie the knot, you do it! Some people get married for the wrong reasons like to get legal documents, or because their drunk in Vegas! The worst thing someone can do, is marry for money. Marriage is about being with someone you love and care about. If you marry someone just because they have money, you will more than likely be unhappy, be diagnosed with depression, and die. Marrying for money is shallow, and selfish. Everyone is capable of finding a job, and making their own money, but laziness becomes a big factor.
     What comes out of marrying someone for money? Yes, you can buy fancy clothes, and nice purses, but that money could possibly run out. What would happen then? You would be lonely, and money-less! Point blank do not marry for money. When you think about it, its really not worth it.
   

Assimilation.

     Assimilation is the diversity of people in one area. Smaller groups of different cultural ideas come together to gain and share information. Take the U.S for example, it is referred to as the "Melting Pot". This nation among many things is the definition of diversity.  People from all over the world come to the U.S and "rub off on us".

     Beneatha is an African American woman. These typical woman don't usually take guitar lessons, of horseback riding lessons, or go to college to be a doctor! Since America has changed, woman received the right to vote, take on male oriented jobs, and are seen differently by most of the male community. The reader can tell Beneatha is concerned about assimilation, because all she wants to do is fit in.

     

     High school is the perfect example of assimilation. Whether your a jock or a gangster or a nerd, you may have so many things in common. Obviously they all have something different, but that's what assimilation is all about; The sharing or gaining of ideas.

Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover!

   You might lose the opportunity on being friends with a truly amazing person, if you take one look at them and say "ew i don't like her." Some people that don't know me say i'm stuck up. I don' know where people get that! Time to time i get the occasional "Denise, is so CONCEITED!" , but honestly? I'M NOT! People judge me because i actually take the time to comb my hair, and groom myself! Like its not my fault some people like going ugly to school! I actually am a really nice, down to earth person once you get to know me. I think outer appearance is super important. say your preppy and you see a goth girl? If your nice enough you'll go talk to her, BUT if your not, you will not go talk to her, promise! Me? ill talk to anyone that's around me, but the way people present themselves, is the only thing that matters. My family is not rich but we may have luxuries that other people don't have. Doesn't mean we judge! Some people just need to stop judging and  come talk to me or add me on facebook or twitter or something! Then they'll know what kind of person I am.
