On "The Young Housewife" Peter Baker The details of this poem are so unassuming that they may easily be missed. The young woman is not in a negligee‚ she is "in negligee." One also must do a sort of double-take to figure out how the speaker could know this if she is behind the walls of a house.

WOMS 205 When I get asked who my favorite artist is‚ I have to think for a while. My music taste is very eclectic ranging from the Grateful Dead to Wiz Khalifa.

Gatsby himself is an example of one of those characters. Nick‚ however‚ is the one who sees the emptiness in those traditions. Fitzgerald
