Although she acknowledges the beauty of the house and especially what surrounds it, she constantly goes back to her feeling that "there is something strange about the house."

expressed her opinion as to Jane Bennet's relationship towards a gentleman. She
says it is probably better not to study a person because you would probably know

goes as far as to say that "it is better to know as little as possible of the

The Mending Wall
Words: 758 / Pages: 3 .... and is happy at the destruction of any barrier. In "Mending Wall" the boundary line is useless:
There where it is we do not need the wall.
And, to stress the point, the speaker facetiously adds:
He is all pine and I am apple orchard.
My apple trees will never get across
And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.

beautiful daughter, and her relationship with her husband is of a
comfortable nature. It is true that her life is not very exciting, but it
is unreasonable to think that she would trade all that she had in her
marriage to Tom Buchanan for Jay Gatsby. At that time, divorce was very
uncommon, and it was very unlikely that any woman would leave her husband
for any reason at all.
Everything that Gatsby ever did in his whole life was based upon

expensive mansion because of Daisy. Jordan Baker said, "Gatsby bought that
house so that Daisy would be just across the bay."(Fitzgerald 8 .....
