<span>Daisy Buchanan: Modest Mouse - Float On I chose this song because the lyrics are perfect for Daisy. The lyrics of this song are so “chill,” and that describes Daisy perfectly. She is so wealthy that she doesn’t have to care about anything. The first line of the song is “I backed my bar into a cop car the other day.” While Daisy never collided with a police officer, she did get in a car accident. Also, one of the lines is “bad news comes, don’t you worry even when it lands.” This line is exemplified through Daisy (and Tom) just moving whenever something bad happens. Daisy doesn’t need to worry, and her life is essentially one big “lazy river” in which she is just floating. Myrtle Wilson: Gwen Stefani - Rich Girl Myrtle wants to be wealthy. She wants to have money, and Tom is her way of getting to that money.

There are a few possible answers that come quickly to mind for this question. The first is that Nick is an extremely lonely person. Before the action of the novel starts (with his introduction to Gatsby and his rich lifestyle), Nick describes himself as being alone in a profession for which he holds no passion. He meets Jordan, who is certainly glamorous, but also has a sort of honest integrity about her absent from most of Gatsby's other guests. This is the second reason. He can tell there is something both childish and troubled about her, which suggests a depth he can't find in others, including his cousin. He has a story to tell, and she seems a person to share it with. Lastly, it's worth mentioning that he is attracted to her.
Answer: Popular Sovereignty
Explanation:
Prior to the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the slave status of a new territory would be decided by the Missouri Compromise which based the state's slave status on geographical location as it prohibited slavery in states to the North of the 36°30′ parallel (excluding Missouri).
In 1854 however, a bill that would later be known as the Kansas-Nebraska Act was introduced to Congress by Sen. Stephen A. Douglas who hoped to gain support from Southern politicians for a state to be established on land gained from the Louisiana purchase.
The bill called for the status of a state to be decided by Popular Sovereignty which essentially meant that the people of the state would decide whether or not they wanted to be a free state instead of Congress as had previously been the case.
With this act therefore, the new territories would decide their status by themselves.
