aged eyes

The eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg are blue and

gigantic — their irises are one yard high.

-They look out of no face,

but, instead, from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles

which pass over a nonexistent nose.

Evidently some wild wag of an oculist set them there

to fatten his practice in the borough of Queens,

and then sank down himself into eternal blindness,

or forgot them and moved away.

But his eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days,

under sun and rain,

brood on over the solemn dumping ground.

(fitzgerald 27-28)

Redo please

The position you apply for depends on your first impression when meeting the director of your position. from the moment you walk into view your at their mercy. The first impression can never be forgotten you can be known as the one who was nearly half an hour early, well groomed and confident or remembered as the person who walked in five minuets late with coffee stands on your shirt and out of breath. Most of the time you will not be given a second chance at a first impression, what is done is done and if you are granted with a second chance the memory of your first "oops" will still be there. The second time around you would have to do all you could to gain a new view on you. It all depends if any one is willing to give you a second thought though, how ever it is important to present yourself where you go as a respectable, responsible person.

Appearance and Personality... Think About it

If something looks good then we just might show the slightest interest in it. If a guy is well dressed then the girl just might give him the time and day, same for the guys if they see a fancy girl. But we don't just judge people we judge places, if there's a restaurant that has paint piling and is tagged up on the outside  this restaurant wont be very appealing, not very many people will even want to stop and  have a meal there. Appearance does matter to an extent, but we can't forget that whats in the inside is what counts. No matter how you dress yourself you're bound to catch some peoples attention,either for a flattering compliment like  "wow that is a very cute dress"  or a wake up call, "oh wow she looks like a Cruella De Vil walking around with all those animal prints". You want to be in the mix with everyone and at the same time you want to be noticed but sometimes you just might stand out like a elephant in the room. In the end do your insides look just as good as your outsides?Now a days you can't avoid falling into step with others trying to stay up to date with the latest trends.  We catch our self's when we realize were judging others and we know we've been taught that whats in the inside is what counts. As for relationships you obviously found something attractive about your lover ; the amount of money and looks didn't stop you from dating them before why would it now. of course it would only stop you from dating them if you wanted an upgrade aiming for the next sugar daddy.

Melting Pot...

Some people see assimilation as betrayal to their cultural. As if one was to ashamed of where their from they  act like the majority of the population; they would either add to their upbringing or they would get rid of some traditions. Assimilation is when we take new information and incorporate them with our ideas to fit in with our already existing beliefs . As for A Raisin in the Sun  there is a young women, Beneatha she is trying to become a doctor. This young lady lives with her family in a one bedroom apartment, all she wants to do is better her skills and abilities to improve her living status. Some say the career choice is out of her reach not only is it uncommon for a girl to be a doctor in this time period but one of Beneatha's race as well. Shes not trying to fight in or ignore who she is but she only wants to better her future, she sees what it cost to live with out stress and the first step to that is to get a education and have a career that guaranties a strong income. Shes living in AMERICA the land of opportunities, mixing her culture and lifestyles with other classes not changing completely who she is.

Happy Family...

Hmm... I guess saying that my family is more important than I'm, sounds better. Just kidding of course my family is more important than I'm. The one person that must always be in a some what good mood is my mom. If shes not in a pleasant mood she is like the queen of hearts, wanting off with our heads. The day  is like walking through a mine field you don't know what will set her off; once shes proclaimed her frustration all you can do is avoid her as much as you can and no harm will be brought upon you. As for my brothers I could careless if their day was not the bomb, their the last ones I need to be sure to please. But if I'm in the mix of their little PMS tantrum then I'm highly at risk of my head and weekend being brutally chopped. I suppose my families happiness has a great effect on  me happiness. So in the end it does go back to being about me. A happy mom means enjoying a calm productive weekend catching up on homework:)
