Summary Of ' The Great Gatsby ' By F. Scott Fitzgerald

A cocoon can represent the kind growth and change called metamorphosis in Biology class. This symbol is good for Scout who shows her personal growth from a naïve tomboyish girl to a more well-informed and sophisticated young lady. In many incidents, she discovers how she should behave as she grows up during the story. Although Scout is a cute girl in hearts of her father, Atticus, and her nanny, Calpurnia, it is obvious to people that she is a quite unusual girl in their small town, Maycomb. She is unusually intelligent because she can read before she goes to grade one. However, her teacher, Miss Caroline penalizes and scolds her for this advanced skill. She is unusually brave and confident because she not only plays

What is intertextuality? Intertextuality is a word that introduced by Julia Kristeva, a philosopher, literary critic, feminist and a novelist. Kristeva defined Intertextuality as a “mosaic of quotation”, which means that all texts that are derived from the natural process and transformation of other type of content (Martin, 2011). It is also called referencing an original idea that has previously been produced. In essence, it is to take an original work of art and turn it into a whole new idea or artistic style. The following essay will explore of how intertextuality is used in Baz Lurhmann’s “The Great Gatsby”.

The roaring twenties was a time of freedom, wealth, romance, and innovation. Many significant advances in history occurred in the 1920’s, such as the invention of the automobile. Women gained many freedoms during this time. The most known betterment was women gaining the right to vote, and starting to obtain more freedom and respect in the world of politics. However, women seemed to still be suppressed in the social aspect of the world. This is evident in the fact that men dominated the relationship, and the woman did not have much say in anything. This is the situation Daisy had found herself in by marrying Tom and being repressed by his arrogance. Although Daisy had met Gatsby and fallen in love with him some time ago before she met Tom, he went off to fight in the war and asked Daisy to wait for him and he would return to her. She did not wait, evident in her marriage to Tom, showing she did not truly love him enough to put in the effort for their relationship. This evidence supports the fact that Daisy is not worthy of Gatsby’s time because he is stuck in love with Daisy from the past and she has moved on to a life of being taken care of, money, and deceitfulness.

Tord was nearly sobbing, on his knees, looking up with his mouth open like a pathetic animal. His whole body was covered in various scratches, bruises, cuts, and teeth marks. Tears flowed gently from the corners of his eyes, desperate for any attention from the brutal man with the keys to the handcuffs that were currently on him. He had been teased and fucked and slapped over again, for what seems like hours and hours, in complete bliss.

War changes many things. It changes people, families, towns, and societies. War changes the world and it changes people 's attitudes. One common trend seen after major wars is a time of economic prosperity, when the economy is booming and all is well. This was seen after both World Wars, in the 1920’s and the 1950’s. In each decade, everyone was returning from the war, spirits high, and looking to celebrate. The economy prospered, and all was well. One major change that came about from these wars and was seen in these eras was the attitudes that people felt for one another. In the literature of the two time periods, these attitudes are very accurately depicted. The first piece of literature is F Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, a 1920’s set novel that shows the way that people treated others. The second, The Death of a Salesman, the 1950’s set play, produced by Arthur Miller. Each of these pieces give insight to the way that people were treated and some of the negative consequences that can result from this. The third and final source, From Motor City to Motor Metropolis, by Thomas Sugrue, talks about how automobile producers treated their customers and how devious their tactics were. The common theme in all these sources is that human life is disposable in post-war decades. The common trend is that in times of economic prosperity, like the 1920’s and 1950’s, people become disposable in the eyes of other because materialism becomes the dominating viewpoint

Koko had been in our lives for so long, it was hard to even accept her passing. It seems like forever ago that I came home from a friend 's house to find that little brown and white puppy on the couch, when in reality it was nearly 13 years ago. I fell in love at first sight, her petite brown body was adorned with white patches on her paws, chest, and a single stripe running up her snout. We had visited her mother and the rest of the puppies weeks before, but I was completely clueless to the fact that my mother was going to bring one home, clueless to the fact that in a short few weeks I would have something I 'd dreamed of for all of my then 6 years: a puppy to call my own.
