Jordan Baker‚ a catalyst‚ helped to convince Nick to have Daisy and Jay Gatsby over for tea to reunite the lovers. The static character of Jordan Baker is not just immoral and dishonest‚ she has some good characteristics such as beauty‚ and has a boyish charm. Another positive trait of Jordan Baker is that she represents the “new woman” of the 1920s. In the 1920s‚ women felt more free (because they now had a right to vote) and found that there was more to life than being a housewife; Jordan Baker

I was talking about time. It’s so hard for me to believe in it. Some things go. Pass on. Some things just stay. I used to think it was my rememory. You know. Some things you forget. Other things you never do. But it’s not. Places‚ places are still there. If a house burns down‚ it’s gone‚ but the place - the picture of it - stays‚ and not just in my rememory‚ but out there‚ in the world. What I remember is a picture floating around out there outside my head. I mean‚ even if I don’t think it‚ even

I found Descartes’ way of thinking very interesting when compared to Aristotle. Descartes doubts the existence of God when he decides to start over and completely ignore his senses. He states in his third meditation‚ “…and I do not yet even know for sure whether there is a God at all…I must examine whether there is a God‚ and if there is‚ whether he can be a deceiver.” (25) Descartes makes a goal for himself to find out if there is a God and who he is. According to Aquinas we will never be able to
