John Buchanan presents his thoughts on the concept of “Shared Meal” by citing the “World Communion Sunday” as a concrete manifestation of various faith denominations to celebrate the Last Supper of Jesus with His disciples.

Tom Buchanan was my character of choice because of his interesting role as both a bystander in Jay Gatsby’s relentless pursuit for Daisy and his side story arc with Myrtle.
