As Atwood states, it is a reflection of puritanism Women, during the beginning of Puritanism in America, where supposed to be in charge of the children, and

events that transpired when Columbus came to America in 1492. I initially chose this this book because I wanted to know more about Europe's effects on America, and how Columbus altered the flora and fauna of America for better and for worse. As I started to read further into the book I immediately was captivated by all the information that was hidden within the text.

The concept of conformity vanished and in came the act of rebellion. Rebellion as a whole completely reshaped the United States of America and the morals that had.

We started a new life, leaving our past behind. Even though I left Ghana at a young age, I was always reminded of where I came from.

and even days, I would lay there contemplating my life. My mind would wander from topic, to situations, to moments, and back again, just thinking and wondering. So there I am one night, home from a long day of God-knows what. I felt myself ceaselessly tire and fatigue, yet weirdly energetic as if I was high from just the action of coming back home.

The Great Gatsby is an interesting metaphor and reflection on the Gilded Age of America’s history. The novel stands as a foundation of American literature and as one of, if not the best of, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s works. It is a complicated weave of relationships with additional ones created within the story. The story shows a lack of care for humans and their emotions in the 1920’s, a huge statement on the attitude of the time towards wealth and fortune growth. The story was enjoyable but at times

This was there first time ever coming to America, so we wanted to make this trip enjoyable and never forgetful. In order for us to go to Florida, we rented a 16-passagner van.
