This experience took place in Limerick, Pennsylvania, in the year of 2007. It all started off when I was in the process of moving to a new house, in Fox Ridge. I was helping my mother unpack all of our belongings. When we were finished I was looking for an activity to do. I did not know who to spend time with. The main characters of the story were a young boy by the name of Nicolas Ashley and me. As a young child, I reflected on being overtly energetic and humorous. A few character traits that describe Nick include outgoing and athletic. Additionally, a third character was Mrs. Moser, our kindergarten teacher who can be described as intelligent and gentle. The overall mood of this passage, in contrast the tone cheerful. As a result, Nick and I would eventually become spectacular friends.
It all started when I arrived at the new neighborhood. I helped my mother unpack all of our furniture from the previous house. Then, after we were finished unpacking, I began to look for some friends that I could play with. One person was a girl that lived in the house behind me. The next week, I started at my new school. I was in kindergarten, and met a few people, one being Nick Ashley. Meanwhile, I saw Nick walking around one day and I went over to see what he was doing. It turned out that Nick also lived in my new complex. As …show more content…

When I had been injured, Nick was always by my side, which made me feel cared for. He has impacted my life in an unspeakable manner. He always is around and ready to help me whenever I need it. He is a huge part of my friendship and is for sure one of my best friends. The lesson or moral I learned from this occasion is to think before you act. In particular, when I injured myself, I did not think about what I was doing. If I were more cautious of what I was doing, I most likely would not have hurt my head. The conflict was solved by meeting many new friends. Nick has changed my life

    The maturation of Nick begins with his description of his time leading to his arrival in West Egg, “I graduated from New Haven in 1915, just a quarter of a century after my father, and a little later I participated in that delayed Teutonic migration known as the Great War” (Fitzgerald, 3). The protagonist comes into the story having not lived much of his life in the normal world that he desires to successfully conquer. He goes directly from schooling into the war, where he found heroic satisfaction. Yet, somehow, Nick is able to keep part of himself innocent and pure despite being in the horrors of war. It is not long after attending his first party at Gatsby’s that Nick confesses that “Every one suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known’ (Fitzgerald, 59). The level of Nick’s idealism and virtuousness begins at such an innocent pl...

  • The Great Gatsby Loneliness and Isolation

    1393 Words  | 3 Pages

    Nick shows evident signs that he feels isolated and, at times, lonely; the way in which he feels out of place in both East Egg and West Egg supports this. In Chbosky’s novel, Charlie is captivated by his own world of books; he is incapable of participating in school life and is hooked on the habit of writing letters to his “friend”. This shows how this theme is also prominent in my partner text. Both writers explore these themes through a variety of characters, and show that despite a person’s social class or wealth, the feeling of loneliness and isolation can affect us all. Nick states his view on life to the reader when he says, “Life is much more successfully looked at from a single window after all”.

    "We're moving!", my Mom said aloud to our family of four at the dinner table. All I could do was face palm. Ever since I was introduced to the planet, moving to different areas of the city or country has been a huge part of my life. It became a yearly thing. My mom was a traveling nurse, so wherever she finds a job that's more decent in salary or atmosphere, we would end up moving to an area close to where her new job would be. I always thought of it as an exciting experience when I was younger. Almost like an adventure or journey across the country. As I got older it became more annoying and upsetting; always having to throw away any items in order to save money to travel, leaving behind old friends and soon forgetting them, or not being

    Everything seems like it’s falling out of place, it’s going too fast, and my mind is out of control. I think these thoughts as I lay on my new bed, in my new room, in this new house, in this new city, wondering how I got to this place. “My life was fine,” I say to myself, “I didn’t want to go.” Thinking back I wonder how my father felt as he came home to the house in Stockton, knowing his wife and kids left to San Diego to live a new life. Every time that thought comes to my mind, it feels as if I’m carrying a ten ton boulder around my heart; weighing me down with guilt. The thought is blocked out as I close my eyes, picturing my old room; I see the light brown walls again and the vacation pictures of the Florida and camping trip stapled to them. I can see the photo of me on the ice rink with my friends and the desk that I built with my own hands. I see my bed; it still has my checkered blue and green blanket on it! Across from the room stands my bulky gray television with its back facing the black curtain covered closet. My emotions run deep, sadness rages through my body with a wave of regret. As I open my eyes I see this new place in San Diego, one large black covered bed and a small wooden nightstand that sits next to a similar closet like in my old room. When I was told we would be moving to San Diego, I was silenced from the decision.
