In today’s society, community and culture are all filled with different types of personalities which shape someone to who they are. A personality can ultimately determine the type of person someone is. In “One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, “The Great Gatsby” by F.

Jose believed that getting made fun of for not being sexually active made “it was necessary to point” (Marquez 195). This demonstrates how he indeed does have an anger issue which provoked him and made him kill his friend because of his dream to marry Ursula. In Psychology Today, the article “Why We Dream” written by Hara Estroff Marano talks about why we dream in the first place. The reason and real meaning behind people’s dreams is because they want those things to happen in reality. Compared to the Great Gatsby, Jay demonstrates his dreams in a different way where he portrays himself to be a selfish individual because all he wants is to be with Daisy. Gatsby’s “unattainable dream” (Fitzgerald 149) is to win over Daisy by throwing many amazing parties, constantly wishing that she will eventually show up to one of them. At these parties, Gatsby always hides himself until Daisy finally arrives. This shows his selfish self when he disappears at his own parties and refuses to greet anyone but the love of his life. In Psychology Today, the article on “Why Love Can Make You Crazy” by Dena Domenicali-Rochelle shows how love can make you go crazy in relationships because you love that person so much and cannot live without them by your side. Anna in the Golden Notebook shows herself through all of her notebooks. Her writing is who she is, expressing herself on every single page. As Anna thought about her life, she confessed to her
