Characters in the Great Gatsby

There were a lot of characters in the Great Gatsby that I liked, but there were some that i didn't like so much. The one that I liked the most was Nick because since the story was told from his point of view, it was easier to tell what he thought about the other characters and about the events happening in the book. Tom was the character that I liked the least because of many reasons. One is that he had almost no respect for his wife Daisy throughout the book. For one thing, he gets mad at the fact that she and Gatsby spend so much time together, but at the same time he is cheating on Daisy with Myrtle. I had some sympathy for Gatsby because after meeting and falling in love with Daisy, he doesn't see her for 5 years. Then when he finds her again, she's already married to Tom. Even though they grow close to each other again, at the end of the story she still stays with Tom and Gatsby ends up murdered. It was almost like he kept getting hope that he and Daisy could be together but it proved to be false hope each time.

The Highlight of My Summer

This past summer, me and my family did many interesting things. Unfortunately, this also meant that the summer flew by very quickly, and it felt as if school started way too early. Among the many things that I did this summer, the highlight was going to India in late August for two weeks.
My parents and I went on a very brief 17 hour flight from JFK Airport to India on August 16. We spent most of the first few days in India getting used to the 10 hour time difference between the two countries. After a week or so of relaxing and visiting relatives that we hadn't seen in almost 5 years, we went to two engagements and two weddings over the course of a very hectic week. The most memorable part of this "vacation" was getting to see cousins, uncles and aunts, and grandparents that I haven't seen in a long time.
I arrived in New York on September 4, immediately missing most of my relatives and friends I left behind in India. I can't wait for the next time I can go back there, or hopefully some of them can come here to America.
