A psychologist is a professional who evaluates and studies behavior and mental processes (see also psychology). In order to become a psychologist, a person must complete a doctoral (PsyD or PhD) degree. This definition of a psychologist is non-exclusive. In most state jurisdictions, members of other behavioral professions (such as counselors and psychiatrists) can also evaluate, diagnose, treat, and study mental processes.
Transcript of Symbolism is The Great Gatsby: Parties and Alcohol. Parties and alcohol are a very important and prevalent factor within the novel. They play a key role in progressing the plot and characters. During this time in American history prohibition was in full swing yet alcohol was readily available just as in the novel. Example #2:
The party strikes Nick as particularly unpleasant. Tom is disdainful of the party, and though Daisy and Gatsby dance together she also seems to have a bad time. As Tom and Daisy are leaving, Tom says he suspects Gatsby's fortune comes from bootlegging, which Nick denies. Daisy says Gatsby made his money from drug stores that he built up himself. Nick has clearly come to sympathize with Gatsby against Tom. Tom's disdain for the party is to be expected. But that Daisy has a bad time suggests that Gatsby might not so easily be able to recreate their love. There may be too many obstacles.
