you come to the admission that it has a limit.
Conduct may be founded on the hard rock or the wet marshes,
but after a certain point what it’s founded on is not of care.
From the East last autumn the world was needed to be in uniform and forever moral attention ;
wanting no more riotous excursions;privileged glimpses of human heart begin to appear.
Exempt from reaction
everything was represented by an unaffected scorn.
Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures,
something gorgeous,
something heightened,
sensitivity to the promises of life,
its sense can be registered ten thousand miles away.(Fitzgerald 6)
What made you choose this part of the book?
ReplyDelete@Iliana Well i actually changed the passage a lot, if you read page 6 , you can tell it was altered. I felt like this passage had a meaning but wasn't well described in the book ,so i took out some words and switched it around to make it sound like what it really is. I feel like this passage is trying to tell two things, that tolerance has a limit and Conduct, after a certain point is not taken seriously, or not cared for,and personality is where it's all founded at.
