In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald uses both repetition and symbolism to draw readers’ attention to the theme of time—and in particular, the past, for which his main characters yearn. The novel begins “In my younger and more vulnerable years…” and ends “borne back ceaselessly into the past.” Fitzgerald goes on to use some 450 time-words, including 87 appearances of the actual word ‘time.’ The Buchanan lawn is described as “jumping over sundials”; Gatsby knocks over a clock during his reunion with Daisy; and Klipspringer plays “In the meantime, In between time—.” The clock, sundial and frequent use of ‘time’ all reinforce for the reader the importance of the theme of time and the inevitability of time passing. Fitzgerald seems to want to remind the reader that time will always get in the way of Gatsby and his dreams, and his desire to return to the past—there’s no turning back the clock.

If cell phones are dirtier than toilet seats then I would expect to see more bacteria grow from the swabs off of cell phones than from the swabs off of toilet seats. This is because we are defining “dirty” as how much bacteria is on something. If something has a lot of bacteria on it, a swab will produce a lot of bacteria colonies. If something has less bacteria on it, a swab will produce fewer bacteria colonies. Since the phone swabs produced more colonies than the toilet seat swabs (6.7 times a much). I have strong evidence that cell phones are dirtier than toilet seats.
