For real labels make me real ass suspicious now.
Iâm like youâre too pretty someone put way too much time into this marketing. And then I get worried. If you taste good then why did someone pour this much time in the marketing you?

Might as well ask why thereâs so many terrible wines with Beautiful labels or so many bad restaurants with beautiful names and aesthetics
Itâs marketing. Itâs specifically created to pull you in regardless of the quality of content inside
Never judge a book by its cover is really apt here

Lol đ
She rode the subway, she lived âpoorâ for aristocracy
Ergo your comment was stupid. As I said thereâs two sets of classes within each class. The âpoorâ for that class and the ârichâ

Reply to The Great Gatsby: I don't know why this book is so popular with English teachers by knerled
I find it rather scary that you think you can teach but you seem to have completely missed the point of the great Gatsby...
Itâs definitely not just about rich people and you are very shallow individual if thatâs all you ever got from it

You forget that youâre reading about two different classes of people.
They are poor for being kind of aristocracy in the United States.
The homeless and the tenant farmers and the slaves and all of that would be the ones living the kind of poverty that youâre thinking of.
In todayâs age the homeless in the atticâs and the people who will sleep on the streets or a different class of person, Then say a poor person who works as a waitress and has one child but somehow barely ekes out in existence in a studio apartment
Itâs two classes of people also poverty mean something different for each of them

Olive skin almost exclusively refers to a sort of European Mediterranean look... so yes, white
