Great Gatsby
"I don't understand, why…I never heard from you again. How can you show up here, now, expecting anything?"
It was one of the rare times Daisy's face masked its natural resplendence, and harbored a look of puzzlement that bordered, at the corners of her tiny mouth, on contempt.
"I got called overseas. You think I wanted to go? My heart, everything I had up to that moment, was with you. They don't ask you when it is time to be shipped out, they simply tell you and do it. Besides," Jay added, looking incredulously at her, "I'm here now. Things can be different."
The shriek of Daisy's cry alarmed Gatsby and Daisy both, the latter of whom rose to her feet to better shatter the forced amicability of the waning afternoon light.

Suddenly he whirled on her, with a fervor and candor that she had not seen in years.
"Listen Daisy, I'm a realist. No matter how I color the thing, you're absolutely right. I couldn't handle the situation. It would have been torture for me to go all that time thinking of you, wondering who you're with, and writing congratulations at the mention of your-*."
He quickly regained his composure.
"You are married, and I acknowledge that in much the same way that any other man would. But my question to you is, is this," he gestured at her, her clothes, the vague direction in which her house was, "happily ever after?"
"I don't believe in forever anymore," she quipped, averting her face from his. "You ruined that for me."
"But," he said, walking towards her so that she had to make a concerted effort to conceal her face again, "I'm here now. And…

sociological readings. One is by Herbert J. Gans, and the other by Peter L. Berger. While the readings are interesting, they are also relevant, even though, in the case of Gans, the narrative goes back to 1971, The Uses of Poverty: The Poor Pay All By attempting to associate poverty with "positive functions" Gans is stepping out into a narrative that would seem at the outset to be risky. After all,
Dirty Harry" Stars in Action Hero -- 1984 Hamlet "Hamlet: The Tragedy of Hamlet, Action Hero of Denmark." This thesis statement or subtitle for Franco Zeffirelli's 1984 movie version of Shakespeare's Danish prince may not be catchy on a box office marquee (although neither is "The Passion of the Christ," for which Gibson is now equally well-known and which did quite well at the box office). However, this appellation is
