Answer: I believe that the title, "The Great Gatsby" holds a much deeper meaning and message than most people infer from it. To explain, most people would typically read the title and infer from it "Oh, from the title this must mean that Gatsby was great!" but upon further analysis the term "great" allucidates to a much deeper message that I believe could be that during this time period, the public image of Gatsby was considered to be the image of coolness, elitism, etc. yet the personality and being of Gatsby character himself proves to be far from the perfect idealized man he was portrayed to be.
In my view, only the black plague and class inequality.
<u>The Black Death was a disease of the rat flea that spread and devastated Europe in the fourteenth century, but reached England again in the second outbreak in the sixteenth century.
</u>
The world wars happened in the twentieth century, so they are not an answer.
Unemployment and lack of manpower are the opposite of each other, but none have actually reached England. First, because the population of that time was basically rural and lived subsistence. The event of the Industrial Revolution caused a great demand by manpower, that was satisfied by the peasant class, that migrated to the city.
<u>However, class inequality has always been present. This comes from the age of feudalism, but it grew especially during the Industrial Revolution, which produced a capitalist bourgeoisie and a mass that worked in factories for low wages and abusive hours.</u>
I am expected to do what is right and be responsible of my decisions.
Sometimes, in making a decision that conflicts with my beliefs, I have to think first about the situation. I ask myself, “why is this in conflict with my beliefs?” I need to act in a mature way and understand that every decision I make create consequences.
So, the best way for me to make decisions in these situations is this. Before making a decision I have to consider what the consequences are going to be. If my decision implies lying to mom and dad, I won’t make it. If it means that I need to hide in order to not to be revealed, I won’t make it.
That is th best way to do what is expected even if ir conflicts with my personal beliefs.
Even though Elvis Presley died in 1977, his music is still popular to this day, along with the fact that Graceland in Memphis was his home.
