“All right… I’m glad it’s a girl. I hope she’ll be a fool–that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool… You see, I think everything’s terrible anyhow… And I know. I’ve been everywhere and seen everything and done everything.” (Fitzgerald, Chapter 1)
Daisy Buchanan delivered this quote in chapter one of the Great Gatsby book. She found out that one of her friends were pregnant and it was a girl. She was glad about this because she believes that as long as a girl is a fool, she will live better. If a girl is not a fool, she will get her feelings hurt easily and she will always be in dread and sorrow worrying about everything. But if a girl is a fool, she will be careless and not understand what is going on. That is also how she wishes her daughter to be. Men treat women like toys and unless a girl is a fool, she will always get hurt knowing her husband or man is playing her. Daisy has experienced this with Tom. Daisy knows Tom has a mistress in New York. Tom's mistress rings him all the time and the rumor has spread everywhere. Daisy is very hurt because of this. Tom and Daisy constantly fight and argue because of Tom's affairs which eventually leads Daisy to have an affair with Gatsby. As dumb and annoying as Daisy is, she is still smart enough to figure out what Tom is doing behind her back. Daisy believes that as long as a girl is dumb and a fool and has a pretty face, she will get along well. Other than that, she will always have troubles worrying and such. Daisy has gone through a lot, done it all, and been through it all and hope all girls are beautiful fools because it is the best thing a girl can be.

On January 20, 2015, President Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States, delivered his State of the Union speech in the chamber of the United States House of Representatives. Obama was invited on December 19 by Speaker of the House, John Boehner, as a tradition. The speech was addressed to the 114th United States Congress. The speech was broadcasted among many televisions, radios, and webcasts from the White House. Many famous guests attended the speech hearing. Guests included First Lady Michelle Obama, Astronaut Scott Kelly, former Cuba prisoner Alan Gross, immigration reform activist Ana Zamora, Dr. Pramav Shetty, education beneficiary Rebeka Erler, and many others. The focus point of the speech was improving the American economic situation and fighting against terrorism which was mostly directed to the threats and damages of ISIS. Obama suggested making community colleges free. He made a proposal for new taxes in Wall Street. Obama also stated that he would have no more campaigns since he already won both of them. This speech was very significant because it was the first time that a United States president had used words like "lesbian", "gay", "transgender", and "bisexual" in a State of the Union Address to protect human equality rights.
Obama's speech was very effective and smart and impacted the citizens of United States. His speech gave bisexuals, gays, lesbians, and transgenders more freedom and a chance to live their life without fear. The law now protects people who have same sex relations. People will now have more freedom and better education.
