Recommended: The impact of loss on a child

As I lay there in the pool floating along with the floating device watching the sky I was thinking about her. How was my life suppose to be complete without Daisy, she had become the only person who cares about me deeply. As the misery set in I knew that maybe, just maybe if I would have just told her the truth I would not have lost her. Daisy was the one I wanted to marry I loved and cared for her like no other person on this planet. She was the beauty and the light that showed in my light even more than my dreams, however I let her slip through my fingers, now I regret it all I just wanted her back. When I heard the click of a gun I did not even open my eyes i could see the shadowy outline through my closed eyelids as the gun is being lowered

    Can you single out just one day from your past that you can honestly say changed your life forever? I know I can.

It was destined to be an awesome day- or so we thought. The glory and euphoria of the Papal visit quickly faded into a time of incredible pain and sorrow, a time from which I am still emerging.

  • Essay On Daisy's Expectations In The Great Gatsby

    891 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Great Gatsby is an emotional tale of hope of love and “romantic readiness”(1.2) that is both admirable and meritorious .Yet, the question of Daisy ever being able to measure up to Gatsby’s expectations is one that reverberates throughout the course of the novel. Be that as it may, Daisy is never truly able to measure up to Gatsby’s expectations because the image of Daisy in Gatsby’s mind is entirely different from who she actually is. Even during his younger years, Gatsby had always had a vision of himself “as a son of God”(6.98) and that “he must be about his fathers business, the service of a vast, vulgar and meretricious beauty”(6.98). Gatsby’s desire for aristocracy, wealth, and luxury is exactly what drives him to pursue Daisy who embodies everything that that Gatsby desires and worked towards achieving. Therefore, Gatsby sees Daisy as the final piece to his puzzle in order realize his vision. Gatsby’s hyperbolized expectation of Daisy throws light on the notion if our dreams as individuals are actually limited by reality. Since our dreams as human beings are never truly realized, because they may be lacking a specific element. Daisy proves to be that element that lingers in Gatsby’s dreams but eludes his reality.

    I loved seeing the hope and enthusiasm she had in her eyes. The lady with a black hood kept arranging her work to the perfection. It was the flower lady. She was selling all kind of plants on our high street every day. Not many people were passing by in that weather, but she gave the biggest smile to those who did. The most powerful bosses, running successful projects, could learn from her. She was honest, and even with the horrible weather, she was making a lot of money. As if she went under your skin and turned the windiest and rainiest day into something totally different. She just simply knew, how to run her business. She just simply knew, the honest recipe for the right attitude. On the bus stop, was standing a young mum with a little boy in a pram. The rain cover blocked his view and he was screaming, but his mum was peacefully inhaling the grey smell into her lungs and didn’t make a move. She was looking into a paddle. Not even the reflection, made her put the cigarette down. The boy wasn’t screaming because his view was blocked. He was screaming because the grey smell sneaked under the rain cover and he was trying to get some fresh air. She joined us on board through the back door. I was sitting just two steps away. The boy was looking at me as if he was asking for help. He could be around two years old. Another lady, maybe Italian speaking, was sitting on the bus with us. She was on the phone and I didn’t need to speak the language to understand that she was upset. She was crying and repeating the same words all over again. I was thinking about my marriage. Every time before the driver shut the door, I wanted to get off the bus and run away. Naive as always. I thought that running would sort out everything. But I was on my way to meet Mike and I was already late. The traffic lights kept us on hold every couple of meters. The high street was too busy and it was still a long way to
