Depiction Of The American Drea
Words: 1016 / Pages: 4

.... Both the noble intentions and the resulting failures of the American Dream resemble the intentions and corruption of Jay Gatsby in the novel, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. F. Scott Fitzgerald included many examples of the American Dream in the novel. Myrtle Wilson is an example of this. Myrtle, who was married to George Wilson, a low income mechanic, desired money and a higher social status. This desire, which is equivalent to the desire for money in the American Dream, eventually led to the death of Myrtle. Myrtle was having an affair with Tom Buchanan in spite of the fact that he was awful to her, for example, “…Tom .....


The Narrative Of The Life Of Frederick Douglas
Words: 1199 / Pages: 5

.... daily, "a very severe whipping… for being awkward" (101), to being able to find his own work and save some money, "I was able to command the highest wages given to the most experienced calkers" (134), he is able to give the reader a more true picture of slavery. His poignant speeches raised the ire of many Northerners, yet many still felt the slaves deserved their position in life. Douglass, for his own safety, was urged to travel to England where he stayed and spoke until 1847 when he returned to the U.S. to buy his freedom. At that point, he began to write and distribute an anti-slavery newspaper called "The North Star". Not only .....

.... to amass wealth to reach her economic standards. Once he acquires this wealth, he moves near to Daisy, "Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay (83)," and throws extravagant parties, hoping by chance she might show up at one of them. He, himself, does not attend his parties but watches them from a distance. When this dream doesn't happen, he asks around casually if anyone knows her. Soon he meets Nick Carraway, a cousin of Daisy, who agrees to set up a meeting, "He wants to know...if you'll invite Daisy to your house some afternoon and then let him come over (83)."

Of Mice And Men: Loneliness And Friendship
Words: 467 / Pages: 2

.... is different and valuable. Their basic relationship is seen to be the starting factor in their dream. “Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest men in the world. They don’t belong no place…. With us it ain’t like that. We got a future. We got somebody to talk to that cares about us….” The theme of loneliness is explained in many ways. Old Candy has only one dog and when it is killed, he hears of George and Lennie’s dream and attaches himself to them so that he won’t end up someday totally alone and friendless. Even after Lennie kills Curley’s wife, old Candy still wants to join George and carry out the .....


A Farewell To Arms: Overview
Words: 298 / Pages: 2

.... no direction. Frederick's actions are determined by his position until he deserts the army. Floating down the river with barely a hold on a piece of wood his life, he abandons everything except Catherine and lets the river take him to a new life that becomes increasing difficult to understand. The escape to Switzerland seemed too perfect for a book that set a tone of ugliness in the world that was only dotted with pure love like Henry's and Cat's and I knew the story couldn't end with bliss in the slopes of Montreux. In a world where the abstracts of glory, honor, and sacrifice meant little to Frederick, his physical association with Catherine was t .....


A Rumor Of War
Words: 555 / Pages: 3

.... in that he just wanted to get the war over with and be home alive. He does not seem like the kind of person that would intentionally kill innocent civilians. When Caputo gave the orders to kill Le Du and Le Dung, I don’t think that he knew that were not Viet Cong. During war, innocent people are killed all the time in trying to win the fight. I do not understand how action is only taken on selective occasions. I am sure that many innocent women and children are killed when bombs are dropped unexpectedly, I do not see how this is any different. The sole aim of this war was to kill Viet Cong. I think that it would be very difficult to disting .....

.... Old Major is a prize white boar who helps point out to the animals that no animal in England is free. He continues to tell the animals that the their labor is stolen by man, who benefits alone. The animals in return get near nothing, just enough to keep them away from starvation. Old Major gave many speeches to the farm animals about hope and the future.
