Answer:
The first sentence refers to Daisy: the sole and intense purpose of Gatsby's existence. She represents that thing "beyond the stars" that Gatsby aspires to. His entire adult life has been devoted to becoming the kind of man he thought would be worthy for Daisy to marry. Daisy's family was wealthy and socially respectable; Gatsby came from nothing. Their youthful love affair ended in tragedy because Daisy felt she couldn't marry someone with no money or social standing. In becoming wealthy and socially viable, Gatsby also became decadent. The "purposeless splendor" of his lifestyle is revealed to be far deeper and more significant, as Nick realizes Gatsby's singular purpose is to win back Daisy. In Nick's eyes, this makes Gatsby even more impressive and admirable, because Gatsby represents chivalry and romance in a decadent modern age.
Answer:
The main idea that the author Caitlin Kenney seems to address in this essay seems to be that even though money has no direct relationship with the level of happiness of a person, it has some influence, to a certain extent, of making the person believe that her life is much better than that of the ones poorer than her.
Explanation:
In the study of how incomes have any impact on the overall happiness of a person, Caitlin Kenney's "High Incomes Don't Bring You Happiness" delves into what it is that makes money an important factor of our lives and do they have any connection with how people feel about their lives.
Starting the essay with the question<em> "How much do you think it would take to make you happy?</em>" the author implores into the issue of how high-income groups seem to be relatively happier than the ones in the lower-income groups. Referencing to the study by psychologist Daniel Kahneman and economist Angus Deaton, the study further reveals how certain amounts of income seem to have a lighter effect on people. But overall, even though money has no direct connection with how happy a person is, there is still some effect it has, like influencing people to believe that the life they live is much better than the ones lived by the poorer people.
