He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas.

1922's America
The year 1922 marked the dawn of a period of epochal social
alterations and economic prosperity in America.
Cultural convections perceived as out of date die ushering in
new ones. Women seem granted rights to participate in voting,
something that causes them to see themselves as equal to men.
Jingoism (extreme patriotism) and racism rise abundantly
The ardent push by religion fundamentalists to the government
to prohibit the consumption of alcohol sees bootleg whiskey
business greatly hampered with by people.

Introduction of ' The Great Gatsby'
The Great Gatsby is a captivating must-read chef-d’oeuvre(a masterpiece
especially in art or literature). Like Fitzgerald, Nick is a native of
Minnesota and an advocate of Midwestern values.
novel’s setting is on the long island dominated by prosperous wealthy and
poor communities of East Egg and West Egg.
Daisy Buchanan as a Fairy Tale Princess. Basing on the several evident
parameters, for instance, the character traits, the behavior of prince and
princess, and gender distinctions amongst others.
Fitzgerald’s masterwork stands out as a variation and sophisticated
version of the fairy tale.

Character Traits/Princess Behavior
Character of Daisy Buchanan
Typical princess who never grows.
She rejects Gatsby and marries Tom
Buchanan
wholly bored with life.
shallow and lacks maturity.
This is a typical response from the society
towards people exhibiting wild
characteristics in fairy tales.
6. z Gender Distinctions
Gender distinctions are evident comparable with traditional fairy tales,
which more often than not tend to bring out the gender differences in terms
of allocation of roles and responsibilities in the society.
Daisy informs that the survival of women relied on their husband’s fate.
Women disguise themselves as fools, just like her to benefit both socially
and materially from men.
The other side of the coin tends to show the plot of the writing to be
somehow not purely that of traditional fairy tale since females in this
society, seem to have some absolute rights.
7. z Construct and Conformance
to Traditional Fairy Plot
The plotting and writing employ smiles and metaphors to provide a vivid
description of places and people. For example, wheat fields are compared
to “the valley of ashes”
The social setting makes the novel more consistent with the traditional
plot for fairy tales.
Analogous to traditional fairy tales, in The Great Gatsby, no one seems to
be individually worried about issues surrounding spiritual, political, and
economic matters.
Just as fairy tale ends with a promise of a happy life ever after, The Great
Gatsby sums up by promising something like happy life after convection.

Nick laments that
“…Gatsby was overwhelmingly aware of the youth and mystery that wealth
imprisons and preserves, of the freshness of many clothes and Daisy, gleaming like
silver, safe and proud above the hot struggles of the poor” (Fitzgerald 41).
This piece looks like an attempt to achieve fairy tale quests. Symbolism and
figurative language are sufficiently used by the author, who gives the novel a
more feel of a fairy tale.
modern-day social challenges like corruption. In real life, this represents
aristocrats, which took a long time to establish. Symbolically the author
tags them “old money” (Fitzgerald 54)
The green light is yet another symbol that depicts Gatsby’s dreams.
As Gatsby comments, “you always have a green light that burns all night at
the end of your dock” (Fitzgerald 79), The green light gives a permit to move
on to pursue dreams.
9. z
Conclusion
The Great Gatsby is a tragic novel which perhaps reminiscent of tragedies
such as the downfall of central characters in a tragic flaw typically called
hamartia appearing in ancient Greek plays- Sophocles (497-405 B.C).
The novel documents the rise and fall of two exclusive noble phenomena:
American society and Gatsby. The tragedies involving flaws encountered
extend from one ridge of idealistic naivety and on the other ridge enormous
corrupt behavior.
The tale, therefore, is a variation and sophisticated version of the fairy tale.
