Rule Of Four

-As readers we come across many details in literature that hole significance, however the common reader usually misses the deeper

Gil 's older sister, Helen, is a divorcee whose ex-husband wants nothing to do with her or their two children, Julie, and Garry. Julie is your average rebellious teenager spending most of time concerned with

A separate obsession that Melvin faces is that of doubt. He finds himself constantly checking, whether it is turning off the light or locking the front door. Once Melvin steps foot into the front door of his apartment he closes the door and locks it, not once but five times. He repetitively counts one, two, three, four, five when he locks the top lock, and continues this

A soft breeze lifts off the Sound and brushes Nick Carraway’s face as he emerges from the shadows into the moonlight. His eyes first gaze across the bay to the house of Tom and Daisy where Nick sees past the walls to people who “...smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back to their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together...” (Fitzgerald: 187- 188). Nick’s head then turns to his side where he views Gatsby’ s mansion. His heart swells for the man who was unable to let go of the past, and move toward his future. With the two houses juxtaposed in his mind’s eye, Nick ponders his experiences in the East, and enters the car to take him home with a new

If, even for a short span of time, the front side of Gatsby's mansion is lit up and “looks like the World’s Fair" at two o’clock in the morning, the reader might then understand how the house becomes filled with an incomprehensible amount of dust and why the white steps are tainted by "an obscene word, scrawled by some boy with a piece of brick" (Fitzgerald 67). The combination of dream and reality is both good and bad. As Nick discovers, there is a "gray-turning, gold-turning light" in the mansion, and the challenge for him is to prevent himself from mistaking the lovely appearance for the true state of things (Fitzgerald 23).

In his film The Great Gatsby, Baz Luhrmann uses simple mundane objects to convey a greater meaning. This clip from The Great Gatsby serves an important function by abolishing rumors surrounding Gatsby’s past. For the third time in the film, the viewer gets a glimpse at how vulnerable Jay Gatsby is. After cleaning Myrtle’s blood off of his car, Jay begs Nick to stay with him until the sun comes up. Nick agrees to go inside with Gatsby; the door closes behind the two men.

Throughout the book I felt connected to one character, that character was George. George and I share similar qualities and our lifestyles can relate. One major characteristic I found in George is his ability

Nick Carraway experiences the feeling of being on the outside and looking into the inside many times throughout the novel. This is especially evident during his times at social events. One such example of the motif was when Nick was at the McKee’s daytime apartment party. After consuming a few drinks and listening to the frivolous conversations of Myrtle and Catherine, Nick takes a

The 4th amendment, search and seizure causes a lot of problems. Search and Seizure is the rights that police have when they enter in a home. The standard for conducting a warrantless search, probable cause, is the same standard necessary for a warrant to issue. An illegal search or illegal seizure is a violation of your Fourth Amendment rights, and any evidence seized must be excluded from trial. Normally police need a search warrant to enter into a home unless they get the consent to enter in the home without one they normally don't go go into a home without anything. A terry pat is when a police officer can detain or conduct a reasonable search for weapons where the officer has the reason to believe the person is armed. Auto stops is

For Nick, Gatsby's lies, his affectation and his fraud are no matter; nor is his failure to win back Daisy; what matters is the supporting belief in the value of striving for a marvelous object, not its predictable disappearance and meaninglessness. In a significant shift in of the novel's final sentences, Nick unites Gatsby's effort with a general, if unspecified, national collective.

McKee, who is nearly naked and sitting in bed. Nick uses ellipses in this instance not to relay his uncertainty about what events transpired, but also to, as mentioned before, allow the reader to come to his/her own conclusion about what transpired, whether it be the conclusion of a homosexual encounter or merely a lack of memories due to drunkenness. The final purpose of Nick’s elision that Bolton suggests is as a means to transition his narration to a different time period without breaking the flow of his narrative style. The elision serves this purpose when Nick describes an interaction between Gatsby and Daisy when they had first met, before Nick had known anything about their relationship, as well as when Nick briefly looks toward the future at the end of the novel, but abruptly returns to the present after using ellipses. Bolton ultimately comes to the conclusion that, depending on how the reader interprets Nick’s elision, the perception of the events of the narrative will vary

The 3-second rule in driving is to check if you are driving at a safe following distance. To determine if you are driving at a safe following distance, you first select a fixed object on the road ahead of your vehicle. When the vehicle ahead of you passes the object, you slowly count to 3 seconds. If you reach the object before completing the count, then you're following too closely. You have to make sure there are three seconds between you and the vehicle ahead gives you time and distance to respond to problems in the lane ahead of

His heart raced very badly. His mother knocked again. ‘Greg?’ Gregor looked at the doorknob, secretly wishing that it would never be turned. Now he heard conversation and the next moment the door flung open, revealing the affectionate couple, standing consciously in the hallway, half peering into the messy bedroom.

For making a cities more liveable and vibrant, Jacobs states the four rules. The first one is that district should be multi-use, serving a variety of functions, in order to assure & provide reasons for continual traffic. Second one is that blocks should be short to allow for the opportunity of varied experiences. Third one is that buildings of varying ages, types, and states of repair should exist closely together. Last one is that there must be a high density of people to foster intermingling and the idea of community. In my opinion, the four rules are very useful nowadays because many modern structures are built by following those rules. For example, the LA Rams stadium is not only a place for football match, but also a place for baseball
