Mrs Quack Diary

Decent Essays
I just cannot get any of my work done around here! I mean, mein gott these people are loud! Anne is the worst of them. She just never shuts up, so I can see why they call her Mrs. Quack Quack. She’s been complaining about how she has too little time to write in her diary, but why is she unable to write in it anywhere other than the desk in our room?

    She looked down on Nick for his class “new- money” and remarked contemptuously “You live in the West Egg”. She is for certain not afraid at all to speak her mind.

    Her homes have been her safe place and safety. In Paris, it was where she knew by heart and sight since she saw it before she went blind.
