Catcher In The Rye - The Conte
Words: 498 / Pages: 2 .... prep. It is a school that typifies the idealistic American school, where the dirt and grind does not have a space, at least not on the surface.

A Literary Analysis Of Jack Kerouac's On The Road
Words: 524 / Pages: 2 .... his eyes. For every borrowed Cadillac and every hitchhike on back of a pickup truck, the reader is along for the ride.

Consequently, James Gatz, under the influence of characters like
Dan Cody and Meyer Wolfshiem, underwent a self-transformation to become
Gatsby, a n .....
