Great Disappointment

The Great Gatsby is a story of luxury, mystery, adultery, and disappointment. A common misconception is the belief that F.

as a person is kind of impossible for me to decide. So I 'll pick two words: son and brother. The reason for it being impossible, is because half of who I am is brought about from me being a son, and the other half from being a brother. So to have me choose between the two wouldn 't do me any justice. Nor would it accurately describe me as a person, the morals I follow, and why I follow those morals. By being a brother and son, it brought out certain distinctive qualities that might 've remained…

injustice to my son. How would Seneca suggest I explain to Thomas why his father isn 't around? Do I propose to a child, yearning for his father, that he too, lower his standards? Or would it be more beneficial to teach him to love himself enough to demand the treatment he deserves from the people around him?
