Prompt: How are you feeling about spring?

I have always liked spring a lot because it means that the weather will be getting nicer and the days will start to get longer. Spring is my second favorite season because the weather is absolutely perfect. It’s warm but not too hot and not too cold. But this year spring is different. I am not able to hang out with my friends on the weekends or take advantage of the nice weather. I do go out for a daily walk in the nice weather but I don’t get to really enjoy it. I also look forward to spring because it means that school is ending soon and summer is approaching. I feel completely different about fall. Fall is my absolute least favorite season. The weather is getting worse and it's literally four degrees outside. I can deal with cold weather if there is snow—which is why I like winter—but there is no snow in fall. Also pumpkin flavored things are not that good. I do like pumpkin donuts because they make me feel warm, but otherwise I don’t really care for pumpkin. I do love Thanksgiving because I get to see my family, but I also get to see them at Christmas and over the summer so it’s not that exceptional. All in all I like spring and even though this year will have an untraditional spring season it still ranks higher than the fall season.

Prompt: What was the best thing you ate today? Are you and your family eating different kinds of food? Are you purposely eating “old favorites”? The best thing I ate today was an omelette. Breakfast is one of my favorite meals to cook and typically I like to make omelettes. To start, I took two eggs and separated the whites from the yolks and placed them in two different bowls. Then, I took my hand mixer and whipped my egg whites until stiff peaks formed—this makes the omelet super light and fluffy. Then I took my separate yolks and beat them, with my hand mixer, until they were smooth. I poured my yolk mixture into my egg whites and gently folded the egg whites over the yolks until combined. I put my stove on low heat and put half a tablespoon of butter in a pan. Once the butter melted, I put a handle full of bacon bits into the pan and cooked them until they were crispy. When finished, I added my bacon to the bowl and folded them into my egg mixture. Then, I put another half tabl

Money vs. Morals

Throughout F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby the color white is often used to symbolize status, wealth, and purity. Almost every page references the color white to the high status estates of East Egg: “white palaces glittering along the water” (5). In contrast, the color black is used to symbolize pain and impurity: “‘I hurt it.’ We all looked—the knuckle was all black and blue” (12). These simple symbols demonstrate the societal division between races in the United States. Since the United States values wealth and money, discrimination continues to occur. In the America that is portrayed in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby we see two high status societies—East Egg and West Egg—, and we are provided insight into the everyday dramas and conflicts that plague the upper class. We see situations where the wealthy are exempted from the law—alcohol usage and speeding. We also see how the wealthy view the lives of African-Americans. On the first page of the bo
