She thought that our math teacher was a horrible teacher who couldn't teach and her attitude problems. It was quit astonishing how I could only concentrate on Ms. Smith's positive attributes while my best friend was only able to the negative things of our teacher.

The only reason why my best friend and I had two very different opinions about her personality was because of the way we perceived her. Likewise in ...

... with god-knows-who. All of his past experience with alcohol had been rather one sided, but hell, he'd seen Cocktail, he could fake it. Usual customers didn't demand this kind of improvisation, anyway. Beer was the word of the day. Draft, light, and others came straight from the keg, and they emptied as fast as he tapped them. However taxing this was on him didn't matter. He had cash. "Excuse me?" Travis said, speaking also with his eyes, which brooded quizzically over the dark hollows of his sockets. "Absinthe," whispered the boy sitting at the counter. Clothes containing no shortage of black were draped over his skinny frame, his eyes also holding dark half moons, swirling ...

... Nora sees nothing wrong in spending big on Christmas.

... grace one of them. He bought clothes to show to her, and even died for her. "It makes me sad because I’ve never seen such--such beautiful shirts before."(pg.98) What made that gesture sweet was not because Gatsby displayed the beautiful shirts for Daisy, but because he bought the shirts just to show Daisy. His greatest deed for Daisy was taking the blame for Myrtle Wilson’s death. "But of course I’ll say I was."(pg.150) That was the ultimate sacrifice.
