The Great Gatsby: Being Successful
Words: 601 / Pages: 3 .... America’s relationship with the color green and its correlation’s with The Great Gatsby. The green element in this novel is literally (no pun intended) taken from the green light at the end of the dock extending from his mansion. When we think of the color green we can associate it with a few things. The majority of the things in nature are green, leaves, plants, and the grass. Green represents a peaceful color; one that does not hurt the eye when put in direct line of sight. An example of a color that would lash out at you and scream, “hey look at me, I’m noticeable!” would be red. Aside from red being associated with violence it is .....

Macbeth - An Analysis Of Lady
Words: 566 / Pages: 3 .... to persuade
Macbeth into murdering Duncan after all. Then, when Macbeth arrived, just
after she finished praying for help, she acts as if she has a heart of stone and
that Macbeth is not a man if he is afraid of killing Duncan. This is a prime
example of her deception towards him, and how she acts differently when she
is alone than when she is around him.
Another example of her being two sided is the role she talks about
playing in Duncan’s death, and the role that she actually does play in it.
There are a few times in the play, mostly when she is attempting to persuade
Macbeth into committing the murder, that she says he should .....

Not only can Chaucer’s exquisite detail be seen in the physical descriptions of his characters, but it can also be seen as he describes the personalities of his characters as well. Chaucer not only describes his characters with astounding detail, but he also creates a very individualized specific personality profile that allows the readers to see what goes on inside the characters. Chaucer allows the reader to se .....

among young people 15 to 19 years of age has increased by 30 percent from the
years 1980 to 1990.
In my opinion David Burns brings up a valid issue in addressing the

suicide; other academics have agreed with the same findings. However these
academics have not specifically stated that depression is the only risk factor
of committing a suicide. They did not even suggest that depression is the
heighest weighted risk factor in committing a suicide. The impression the
reader gets after reading the in .....
