Give an example of how two characters in the story have different points of view on the same topic. Which character does the author seem to want you to agree with? explain your answer.(the great gatsby)

Nick and Gatsby have different points of view regarding whether or not the past can be repeated.

Explanation:

The Great Gatsby, a novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is about a man called Jay Gatsby, who desperately tries to get his ex girlfriend's attention.

Gatsby thus throws parties every night, attended by hundreds of people, hoping that Daisy would show up, or at least that she would notice him. He spends his time staring at the green light by the house where Daisy, his former lover, lives. The problem is that Daisy is a married woman now, and has a child. It is obvious that their relationship cannot go back to what it was. This is what Nick, Gatsby's neighbor and the narrator of the story, suggests. Nick arranges for the two of them to meet in his house, and really tries to help Gatsby. When, however, Nick sees that nothing that Gatsby does will ever be enough for Daisy to love him again, he says to Gatsby:  "You can't repeat the past."

Gatsby replies: "Can't repeat the past? Why of course you can!"

Nick is a realist in this case, while Gatsby's unconditional love makes him unrealistic.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
