Reaction to Foxdale Trip

To be honest, before we went on this trip, I hesitated and thought to myself that I wouldn't like it there, or even worse, the people there wouldn't like us.
But I got over these things the moment we set foot there as we were greeted and welcomed there with pleasure from everyone in there.
I really enjoyed talking to Nancy from the retirement community as there was, to my amazement, a lot of things in common between the two of us. For example, we are both outgoing people, we both enjoy watching movies and we both would love to travel to new places and to countries we've never been to before.
Honestly, nothing was challenging about it.
My advice would be ; Do not miss the opportunity to go just because you're not sure you'll like it, you'll never find out what it's like to go and be there unless you actually go on the trip and be there!

Summarizing what I read

In this chapter, one thing happened as Gatsby wants Nick to know something ( a secret ) so he tells Jordan Baker ( one of Nick's friends ) about that secret and Gatsby asks her to tell Nick what he told her but Nick starts to feel suspicious, because why wouldn't Gatsby tell him that secret himself instead of asking Jordan ?

"The Great Gatsby" favorite quote

My two main characters finally meet! and I chose to quote what Nick Carraway said about Jay Gatsby when Gatsby introduced himself to Nick for the first time, I found Nick's words about Gatsby  rather majestic and enchanting.

"He smiled understandingly—much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced—or seemed to face—the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just so far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey"

Th Great Gatsby ... Extensive reading

                               

                                Upon reading the third chapter of the book, my feelings varied from feeling confused and thrilled to being surprised and feeling the curiosity about our mysterious main character that only a few had ever met and a fewer that seemed to know anything about him, not even his own neighbor Nick, knew him. 

                                In this chapter, Nick got invited to one of his parties, and to his amazement, out of hundreds in the party, he was the only one with an actual invitation from Gatsby himself ! 

                               Everyone was making speculations and wild guesses about him in the party, some said that he killed a man while other said he was in the American army..!

Reaction to "The Great Gatsby"

Today I was attracted to the book to the point where I forgot that I have to take notes and write my reaction for extensive reading..
Today I read the second chapter of the book "The Great Gatsby" there weren't a lot of surprises in this chapter .. The story is still "being cooked" that's how I would express it

Extensive Reading + Outline .. A Twist.. The Great Gatsby

After getting my book a few days ago "The Great Gatsby", I finished reading the 1st chapter of it where the characters of the books are introduced. And in the attached pic I'm afraid that's where I'm supposed to have written the outline which is not really clear (not even close).

I can say that what surprised me so far about the book is simply the way the author writes, I've never read anything in my life that's written in such a great academic, literary and an elegant way.
The way he gives a special touch to each character and the way he introduces the characters is simply magnificent.

Extensive reading "Freakonomics"

After reading the first chapter of the book "Freakonomics" I can simply summarize what I've read so far by quoting the author "teachers and criminals and real-estate agents may lie, and politicans, and even CIA analysts. But numbers don't." it's a book that'll explore the hidden side of  . . . everything.
