His love for her isn’t really based on her, he doesn’t even see her efforts to hide herself under an unfeeling shallowness. He is more in love with what she represents, and what he wants—wealth, power, respect. He needs a dream to focus on, and she is everything he has always wanted for himself. Gatsby is a dreamer, he lives for and in his dreams. But his amazing ability to focus on and achieve his dreams makes him great.

Janie did not want to marry Logan, but she did so because Nanny told her “that she would eventually come to love him.” Ironically, Logan wanted to force Janie into the servitude that Nanny feared.

At heart, his actions arose from the fear that Janie would leave him. Two m .....

would shrink back from the charac .....

Windows, doors, expensive equipment, books, plates, and Doc's prized phonograph were all victims to the raucous crowd before Doc arrived. The place was trashed, and everyone left before Doc even got there. By the time Doc pulled .....
