.... to better understand the situation that each character is experiencing. The first example of flashback that Fitzgerald provides takes place on page 79. In this flashback, Jordan explains to Nick how she first met Gatsby. She explains to Nick that when the girls were eighteen, he was with Daisy Fay in her “little white roadster.” This flashback is effective because it gives us an idea of how Daisy and Gatsby’s relationship was purely based on beauty and not friendship. The placement of the above quote was essential because it allows us to experience early in the novel how Gatsby had a relationship with Daisy. This first example of flashback by Fitzgerald prov ....

.... consciousness PERCEIVES reality, but does not CREATE reality. We are forced to live within the confines of reality. Hence, "wishing does not make it so." There are definite laws of causality which are in effect, and are inescapable. She attempts to derive a morality from this view of metaphysics. She believe that man (sic) is a certain type of being: a rational animal. Man is the only form of being which must actually think in order to survive. This, to her, implies that it is RIGHT for man to think. The good is that which is useful to and promotes life. The life in question is ones own life. However, one doesn't have the responsibility for the lives of others, exce ....

.... that they meet in conditions and in an open area which is away from the prying eyes of society, suggests that they are up to something secret, and as we know they are witches, we assume, whatever they are up to, will be evil and something they do not wish to disclose to anybody else.

The evil witches seem to be at ease in weather conditions such as these, and it appears that they also have control over the weather. We see the witches deciding which type of weather they should meet up ....

.... the gun to her parents. Only in week, her parents and Alice went to see a doctor. By that time she already had a glob of whitish scar tissue. She also remembered the words of her doctor, "Of one is blind, the other will likely become blind too." It is amazing how childhood may influence the future.
