The Effect Of Daisy's Transition Into Elementary School

Improved Essays
When Daisy was three years old, she went to a head start program around the corner from her house. Before going to the head start program her grandmother would watch her during the day while her aunt worked. As a result she became very close to her grandmother and saw her as a mother figure. This affected Daisy because it was a struggle for her to get attached to her teachers and peers. She would cry when her aunt dropped her off and would not listen to the teachers. As Daisy got older it was time to transition into elementary school. Daisy’s aunt sent her to a catholic elementary and middle school so religion could be apart of her daily learning. Daisy was already attending on Sundays with her aunt and was also able to join the church dance

    As the details involving the relationship between Gatsby and Daisy start surfacing, its effects on Gatsby’s life begin to become more evident. Some might argue that Gatsby’s love for Daisy can be considered positive because it helped to create Gatsby’s wealth and drives him to improve. Others, however, can respond by saying that illegitimately made money and being stuck in the past will only result in danger and suffering. Although love inspired Gatsby to make money and to keep on pursuing his dreams, the negatives of Daisy’s influence far outweigh these slight benefits. Illegal methods for producing fortune became popular in the twenties after the illegalization of alcohol (prohibition).…
