My M.O.M. On My Big Question

The phrase M.O.M. means minuet of mindfulness. It’s a thoughtful thinking process we do at the beginning of class everyday. During those seconds of me thinking to myself a lot of thoughts and visions come to mind. But during my 6 minutes of M.O.M. specifically thinking about my big question I thought about if it is illegal to drop out of high school right away, I also thought if it’s even possible to be taken serious if you don’t even have a high school degree. And then I came to one thought that I couldn’t get out of my head for 3 minutes. Can anyone drop out of high school and make it somewhere. Like does it take a certain person to do so or can any person that can follow simple steps do it. 

Nick Cardinal Virtue

What his “Cardinal Virtue” means is that it is true but also a big deal and can mean bad. But what he means by his statement is that he feels like he is being rude but he is the only one telling the truth in this story and with the people he has meet and talked with over his life time. Now I feel like we all see Nick as a un humble character. Even though all he has said about other people and how they talk with others and react to one another is true it shouldn’t give him the right to say he is better than everyone, even though he is. Many people have different opinions I assume but I just feel like he was not being humble at all and was a little arrogant.

B.Q.G.S.D.

So my big Question was about weather or not we need a High School education to be successful in life. I got many different answers when I would ask people about this like “of course you need one” or “why wouldn’t you want to get an education, it will help you in the long run” and also “you will be port of you don’t pass high school”. But I remember seeing a man on an add that was saying that he became a millionaire without passing high school. And I know that your obviously not supposed to always believe an add that pops up on your YouTube video but I was very curious on if this was true or not. I still have to research more on this man. But other things I would like to know that is about my “Big Question” is weather or not it matters when you drop out of high school. Or if you always have to do something in a certain way if you want to become a millionaire. Or if you can even be a millionaire any more since everyone might know about this. I still have many questions that need to be answered and I hope I can find them.

Gatsby pp 38-48

It’s these pages of the Great Gatsby many very interesting things had happened. Daisy was talking about why should Tom and his wife even still be together. But then goes on to say that they can’t get divorced because she is a catholic and doesn’t believe in getting in a divorce. And then the story goes on and tells the reader the narrator (Nick) goes for some whiskey and it definitely shows he is drunk on the pages and his way of words. This was happening all throughout the chapter and it was actually cool because I never expected that to happen at all and it’s something I never seen at all in any book. So as we dive deeper in the chapter we can all see that Tom is a selfish prick and doesn’t even care for his “loved” ones. Because Tom broke mertles nose out of an annoyance because she was saying “Daisy, Daisy, Daisy...” and didn’t stop until Tom swing his huge fist at her. If she can do that to her imagine what she will do to a person he is actually angry at.

-made a certain sentence look like they were drunk in which they were
-Tom broke mertle’s nose with his fist because she was annoying him
-as the second chapter was progressing the narrator was getting more and more drunk to where you can see it on the pages
-Tom is selfish and doesn’t have any regard for human life. He puts down his wife and he feels like she should always put her in her place

Gatsby pp 27-38

Now as we are progressing more into the “Great Gatsby” everything is getting more interesting and confusing at the same time. It’s very interesting because now we find out that Toms wife has a significant other which is poor and works as a mechanic and she even acts like it is nothing. Because she is all up in jim and right when Tom roles in by she is not like that at all and she tells Tom to go get some chairs and as he is gone she gets back with the mechanic and when Tom returns with the chairs she wanted to leave. Then I also stated that it’s getting confusing because the wife basically has two moods she gets in like when she is with Tom she is all high and mighty with all this money and when she was with the mechanic she was poor and calm. These characters are very confusing and the couple seem to not like each other at all and they probably shouldn’t have gotten together in the first place. But that’s just my opinion based on what I have read and I’m sure there will be more to learn about this lovely couple.  

-Toms wife was cheating on him with a mechanic and she acts like nothing is happening. She tells tom to go out and get chairs while she makes plans with her significant other.

Gatsby pages 11-22

What happened during dinner, whats toms problems, and are these people happy

Between the pages of 11-22 of the Great Gatsby a few interesting things have happened. Like when they were having dinner. Which the main character Nick was having dinner with a wife and a husband that were fighting over a few things. And the wife was very sure of herself and changed the topic quickly. And the husband was a racist and believed that the whites need to keep things in order. While Nick was just trying to have a nice dinner. The husbands name was tom and he had a problem with his wife and many other things. These people aren’t happy to what I have read and seem to be hard to please. And the wife explains that her new born  daughter is a fool and I really want to know why would she, a mom of a new born daughter ever call them that.

-Why would a mother say something that mean about her own daughter
