GATSBY
Author F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote the story "Babylon Revisited". He was a successful author during the Great Depression and the Stock Market Crash, managing to make 40,000 plus a year. In 1939 his reputation and income went downhill and eventually in 1940, he died. He lived a life much like the characters he wrote about, especially that of Charlie Wales. In this story there is a man named Charlie Wales that has come to regain the custody of his daughter Honoria, and the big question is should he get it? In most cases, there is rarely a time when a man wants to take full responsibility for his actions, especially when it comes to children. Charlie Wales is a man that has turned away from his God given privilege to be a father. After realizing what he has done, he makes a change in his life and wants to come back and take care of his daughter. I believe even though Charlie Wales lived an unpredictable lifestyle
After some persuasion and coaxing, Marion could see that Charlie was quite sincere in his actions and decided he should get custody of Honoria. As she says, "Daddy, I want to come and live with you . Everyone should have a sense of family and be able to interact with their immediate family. Marion Peters is the sister of Helen Wales, Charlie's deceased wife. I don't think it would be right to take away the only immediate family that Honoria has left. Once he was out of the sanitarium, he realized that he had a drinking problem, so he decided to cut the drinking to one drink per day. at one point, he should still be able to raise his daughter. Making all of these changes in his life is shows that he is becoming a more positive person. The major obstacle in the way of Charlie receiving custody of Honoria is Marion and Lincoln Peters. He didn't want to miss out on her childhood, which is the most influential part of a person's life. Responsibility is an essential component of parenting. Despite what some may believe, being the biological parent of a child has a lot of value. The first sign of this was giving up custody of Honoria because he knew that he could do nothing for her while he was in a sanitarium. Honoria wants to live with her father and can't wait for the day when she will be able to.
