"I’m inclined to reserve all judgments, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me..
Most of the confidences were unsought —
frequently I have feigned sleep, preoccupation,
or a hostile levity
when I realized by some unmistakable sign that an intimate revelation was quivering on the horizon;
for the intimate revelations of young men...
are usually plagiaristic and marred by obvious suppressions.
Reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope.
I am still a little afraid of missing something...
as my father
snobbishly suggested, and I snobbishly repeat, a sense of the fundamental decencies is parcelled out unequally at birth."(The Great Gatsby, page 1)
no title, but other then that you did a good job making his writing seem rythmic and calming
ReplyDeleteThanks any the title is 'Don't Judge Me'
DeleteLong selection indeed, what did the speaker hint towards being afraid about?
ReplyDeleteI think he feared being like his father.
