Walden

The quote “If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer”  means that they live in such a way that is thought of to be unnormal by most people. I was on e watching this tv show where 2 of the people on the show lived in a tent in the middle of the woods. They were very odd people.  My first reaction was why would anyone want to live thier life in a tent in the woods. I like going camping, but  I would never survive living in a tent year around and not having an actual house. Their lifestyle was a very strange. The quote "I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live sturdily and Spartanlike..." show that he wants to live simply without materialistic items. I think that since you only have one life you should live it to the fullest and make the best of it. 

Chapter 5

One quote the shows that Gatsby's dream is to be with Daisy is, "...his distraught eyes stared down at Daisy..." (86). Also at the end of the chapter, "His [Gatsby's] hand took hold of hers, as she said something low in his hear he turned toward her wish a rush of emotion"(96). I think that Daisy will just stay with Tom.
One quote the shows that Gatsby's wealth is, "He took out piles of shirts and began throwing them, one by one, before us, shirts of sheer linen and thick silk and fine flannel..."(92) Another quote that shows Gatsby's wealth is, "There was nothing to look at from under the tree except Gatsby's enormous house..."(88). This is important because Gatsby wants Daisy to think he is wealthy becuase Daisy married for money and he is in love with Daisy. He is trying to impress her.
