The Great Gatsby!

I think that the last line of The Great Gatsby is describing how we move towards the past without us noticing. The ocean is always violent in the night, but come dawn it turns silent. Ceaselessly we move forwards in our minds. But what we don’t realize is that our actions speak louder than words, such as Gatsby where he was fixed in the past. He kept thinking that it was summer and that the party wasn’t over. He wanted to stay in the past so that he could keep working on getting back the love of his life.

In the beginning of the book Nick wants to move forward. He comes in and wants to get away from the past, but he is so focused on his goal that he continues sub-consciencly to remain in the past. The boat symbolizes each of the characters and there journey that they want to do. The wave is the problems and there materialist mind. The way that the waves go up and down is the same thing that goes on with each of the characters. There sense of being on top or wanting to go above others. Trying to compete against each other, the game at some points going really high up with parties, and lower when they are in small groups.

Adopt A Beach

For this Article they are informing the public about the adopt a beach program which is run by I love a Clean San Diego organization. The program is all about adopting a beach and then going to help clean it up couple times a year. The one thing that this article is missing is the requirement that are needed for adopting a beach, and what is the time limit. this applies to the MSB work because its all about getting started in beach clean-ups and helping the public to get informed about what happens on the beach.

Gatsby 1-4

i think that gatsby and nick are detached from there environment around them because they like to keep there emotions and opinions to themselves. one more than the other because of how gatsby is more mysterious than nick. he likes to have people wonder about what is happening in his house and his affairs. while nick likes to just sit back and enjoy the show from the side lines because he critiques what other people say and do.

MSB Organizations

The San Diego River Park Foundation

The guiding vision for the River Park is presented in the San Diego River Park Conceptual Plan which was developed through a series of community meetings by The San Diego River Park Foundation. The plan was completed during the summer of 2002


This organization is connected to the state government because of how it connects with community engagement.

The great gatsby

I think that the narrator is a women. it seems that she is somehow falling for Gatsby, or as if they knew each other from long ago.

I would imagine that the author is trying to make the narrator a part of the story and also try to make it as in they are a big part of the story.
