paragon of perfection

Explanation:

To Gatsby, Daisy represents the paragon of perfection—she has the aura of charm, wealth, sophistication, grace, and aristocracy that he longed for as a child in North Dakota and that first attracted him to her. In reality, however, Daisy falls far short of Gatsby's ideals.

Daisy symbolizes perfection in the eyes of Gatsby. She has charm, wealth, grace, and sophistication, which is what Gatsby was longing for when he was young. This is the main underlying psychological reason why Gatsby has such strong feelings for Daisy. This is why to Gatsby, she symbolizes the perfect soulmate/partner, and someone who can help him out of the situation he is in mentally. However, in reality, Daisy will not solve all Gatsby’s problems.

In reference to a symbol that relates to the theme, the symbol in which Daisy conveys is sophistication. She relates sophistication to negative connotations, and people believing that if your sophisticated then you must be a bad person. This relates to the theme of the story because with Gatsby’s wealth and sophistication, has come negative beliefs about him, which are superior because nobody is willing to disagree with those beliefs.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
