“Damien, dear? We’re going to be late, are you almost ready, then?” The blonde asked, leaning in through his boyfriend’s doorway. He received an aggravated groan in response, as the Demon merely pulled his covers over his head. This was never easy, but Pip had gotten used to it over the years. “Please?” He pleaded, quickly floating over to Damien’s bed, and sitting on the edge. The raven-haired son of Satan growled from his hidden chamber of quilts, swatting away the ghost of a boy. “The teachers will be terribly angry with us if we aren’t there on time.” A bit of grieving in his boyfriend’s voice caused the demon to bolt upright, glaring at him. “So what? We’re already dead,” He snarled. Pip sighed, getting off of the bed in a last attempt to persuade him. Damien’s crimson eyes continued to bore into him; irritated as ever. “The only person that can hurt us is my Dad, and you know it!” …show more content…
You know how strict Mr. Satan is about punctuality!” The blonde pouted, checking his watch in a panic. He snatched his satchel off of his chair; already packed, obviously, and headed towards the front door. Groaning, Damien followed him, grabbing his own pouch of school supplies, and muttering an annoyed, “Don’t call him that.” “Bye, boys! Have fun at school! Say hi to all your friends for me! Stay safe!” Satan reminded them, cheerfully, as he waved to the two. He loved having Pip around the house; it really lifted a bit of the strain of being father to the antichrist that was always on him. Of course, being the sweet little boy he is, Pip waved back and called out a farewell to his
I had been in the village for all but a week when I realized there was something... wrong. There seemed to be an underlying atmosphere of fear and animosity. Of course, with my wide-eyed, innocent thinking at the time, I assumed the presence of Satan had damaged the townspeople 's trust of one another. Again, I blissfully accepted this, and I was wrong.
In chapter five of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the theme of loss of spirituality emerges in page 87 thru page 88. “‘I want to get the grass cut,’ he said...” to “He waited a moment longer, hoping I’d begin a conversation, but I was too absorbed to be responsive, so he went unwillingly home.” In a quote from Gatsby on page 88, “‘You wouldn’t have to do any business with Wolfshiem.’ Evidently he thought that I was shying away from the ‘gonnegtion’ mentioned at lunch, but I assured him he was wrong,” Gatsby offers to give Nick a job in side business after talking to Nick about inviting Daisy over for tea, and Nick declines the offer because it was just a favor and he doesn’t want to keep doing services for Gatsby to get paid.

The Great Gatsby tells a story of eight people during the summer of 1922 from the observation of Nick Carraway. It's a story about trying to achieve the unattainable, deceit, and tragedy. It takes place around the character Jay Gatz who becomes Jay Gatsby in an attempt to change his persona and attract his long lost love, Daisy. In Nick's telling of the story, Nick and everyone who knew Gatsby, thought he was great. Gatsby threw lavish parties at his beautiful mansion every weekend. He had money, even though no one really seemed to know how he made his money. Gatsby spends years of his life trying to win the heart back of Daisy Buchanan. When they met years ago, he was in the Army and didn't have much money. Daisy came from a wealthy family and she couldn't marry a poor man. This is what drives Jay Gatz to become Jay Gatsby and impress the girl to get her back.
As depicted by Scott F. Fitzgerald, the 1920s is an era of a great downfall both socially and morally. As the rich get richer, the poor remain to fend for themselves, with no help of any kind coming their way. Throughout Fitzgerald’s, The Great Gatsby, the two “breeds” of wealthier folk consistently butt heads in an ongoing battle of varying lifestyles. The West Eggers, best represented by Jay Gatsby, are the newly rich, with little to no sense of class or taste. Their polar opposites, the East Eggers, are signified by Tom and Daisy Buchanan; these people have inherited their riches from the country’s wealthiest old families and treat their money with dignity and social grace. Money, a mere object in the hands of the newly wealthy, is unconscientiously squandered by Gatsby in an effort to bring his only source of happiness, Daisy, into his life once again. Over the course of his countless wild parties, he dissipates thousands upon thousands of dollars in unsuccessful attempts to attract Daisy’s attention. For Gatsby, the only way he could capture this happiness is to achieve his personal “American Dream” and end up with Daisy in his arms. Gatsby’s obsession with Daisy is somewhat detrimental to himself and the ones around him; his actions destroy relationships and ultimately get two people killed.
Think about being separated from the one you love. You thought this person would be in your life forever and always. You may have spent days and weeks thinking and planning your future together, but then one day they disappear from your life. That person has moved on, and chose to live a life that no longer including you. It would be assumed in most cases that the love of your life is no longer the person they were before, so should you stick around and try to win them back? In the case of Gatsby and Daisy, Gatsby did not realize Daisy would be different, and although he still thinks he is in love with Daisy, is he in love with her for who she is now, or the idea of everything she used to be the answer may shock you, and this is all due to the unreal expectations he has for her to fill. Because Gatsby is not in love with who she is at the time they are reunited. Instead, he is caught up in the idea of who she used to be. The actions of Gatsby, how he talks about her, and the relationship between Gatsby and Daisy once they are back together again show who Gatsby is really in love with, and that is the old Daisy.
