Summary Of ' The Night ' By F. Scott Fitzgerald

"Yes", Susie said, "It should be really great". She was so polite. I really liked her. I usually like Phoebe's friends when I meet them. Watching the two of them helped me get my mind off of how I was about to face my parents. I was worried about my mom. I really was. I tried not to think of how hysterical she'd get. Phoebe said mom and dad were coming home at around seven o'clock. It was around four o'clock now. Soon enough they'd come home, see me, and deal with me. So, we got off the bus at 72nd street, said goodbye to Susie, and walked home. Phoebe seemed all cheery. Kids don't understand situations like this. I mean, old Phoebe, she did, but I guess she was just really happy to be with me, and that I was home and all.

Ready Player One hits some of the same situations as in the holocaust or for the book that we read “Night” like taking people spread out over a good area and combining them into a small dense area. They both also touch on the topic of how when someone is killed or something is blown up now one raises an eyebrow or if they do no one does anything about it.

The narrator suffers from catalepsy, a physical condition in which the individual cannot move or speak for hours or, in extreme cases, for months. According to the narrator’s explanation, what are some of the ways that one can tell a cataleptic is still living?

Fitzgerald began working on ‘Tender is the Night’ during the late 1920s but found it difficult as his wife Zelda’s mental illnesses and their money issues had affected him. When Zelda had her first nervous breakdown in 1930s they were living in Europe and she was hospitalized in Switzerland. It became certain that she would never recover fully. Fitzgerald's father died in 1931, which can be seen in the novel portrayed as Dick’s father’s death. Combined with his insistent alcoholism, these misfortunes and setbacks overwhelmed him. Fitzgerald had settled in suburban Baltimore by 1932, and had finally settled on what his novel was going to be about. The books plot was about a gifted young psychiatrist called Dick Diver. He marries one of his patients, Nicole Warren. Dick had virtually limitless potential and when he decides to decision to marry a woman he falls in love with who is mentally ill, he eventually descends into depression and alcoholism as their disaster-prone relationship fails. The book went through many versions and took a lot of time; the original story was to be about matricide, the act of killing ones Mother. “Such a laboured birth of his fourth novel had never been the writer’s original intention” (Blazek, 1). The book can be described as a thinly-veiled somewhat autobiographical novel due how similar the story’s main plot is to Fitzgerald’s own life. It is echoing Fitzgerald's difficulties with his wife Zelda. It also depicts the damaging effects of having

I went Into Elie Wiesel 's Night having read the book in various stages in my life. It seems to follow me through my schooling years. In junior high I read it in standard English class, just like any other book I would have read that year. In high school I read it for a project I was creating on World War II, looking at it from a more historical approach. Being a firsthand account of concentration camps made it a reliable source of historical information. But during previous times when I was reading, I never thought to take a look at it from a theological point of view. Doing so this time really opened my eyes to things and themes I hadn 't noticed during previous readings.

“Night” is a book based on the childhood of the writer Elie Wiesel and his experience during Nazi-Germany. He writes about his experiences from 1944-1945 the height and downfall of the second World War.

In Night by Elie Wiesel, he tells a story of him in the concentration camp ,in WW2, called Auschwitz. The story begins with Elie seeing how the Germans were losing the war and he thought he and his fellow jews would be safe. Instead, he notices the Germans start moving them and taking their things. Then they are shipped to the camp. In the end of the story they are liberated and saved from the camp they moved to. Throughout the story Elie’s relationships with his; father, God, and the SS change

Any visitor to the French Riviera in the mid-1920s, the setting of F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night, would describe Dr. Richard Diver as a charming, respected, well-mannered physician. Dick is a noble man who has dedicated his life to the health and protection of his beloved wife without thought to himself. Furthermore, he gives wonderful parties and is a reliable source of help to any friend in need. In fact, "to be included in Dick Diver's world for a while was a remarkable experience" (Fitzgerald, Tender, 27).

“ And I thought you didn’t have it in you.” Beth smiled, but it was a smile Liz had never seen before it was like Beth finally had a real friend, and from there there was no turning back.

Charles Scribner III in his introduction to the work remarks that “the title evokes the transient, bittersweet, and ultimately tragic nature of Fitzgerald’s ‘Romance’ (as he had originally subtitled the book)” (Fitzgerald ix). Tender Is the Night parallels Fitzgerald’s own struggles with his mentally ill Zelda, and the characters are carefully constructed from his interactions with the social elite of artists,

It was night, and I was walking Kaitlyn, my best friend, back to her house from the park. “Thanks, it was fun hanging with you”, she says smiling.

"Fuck off, Blake" I said, getting up, grabbing my burger and leaving the house. I was halfway down the road when I realised that I was in my socks and had left my jacket back at the house. I shivered, rain seeping into my socks, but kept walking. I walked into the shopping centre and people were staring at me, my hair wet and walking shoeless. I felt a body smash into mine and I stared up from the ground seeing that Nash had knocked me over.

(Approximately 1 year after the eviction of the nobles), swimming in neck-high waters, Bob, gasping for air- was being approached by a floating vessel, with horrifying shrieks of cannibalistic pirates that were ready to slaughter him if they seized him. As the approaching vessel came closer and closer, he was panting harder and harder- he soon heard the shrieks louder and, louder, and with a tone that can only describes being hungry. Bob imagined in his head, the carnivorous pirates swooping him up from the dark blue voidless waters, and devouring him whole. Vulnerable in the voidless waters, Bob felt like he was in solitude,, himself swimming in a body of water bigger than he can imagine- filled with appalling, awful creatures ready to kill him. Bob recalls prior to this incident, something that led him to leave the kingdom something that would change his fate.

Waknuk is the hometown of David, Petra and Rosalind; the three had to flee their home by night when they got news of Sally and Katherine being captured. David and Petra left home and travelled down a path to the riverbank, where they met up with Rosalind. For their travel they utilized two great horses owned by Rosalind’s father to go on their journey for safety. David, Petra and Rosalind travelled in a southwesterly direction until they came to a stop in the early morning. The three started their journey again in the late of the evening through the night in the same direction till they came to a stop in Labrador, where Petra was sending letter shapes to the Sealand woman of their current location. They continued on their journey until the break of dawn and then rested. Just after sunrise Michael informed them that he and the search party were on their trail and they needed to get going. David, Petra and Rosalind hustled their things together and made their way, continuing in a southwesterly direction into Wild Country. They made another stop in Wild Country to eat. When it was a little darker they pushed on towards the Fringes, until they were captured by the Fringes people and taken even further into the Fringes. Eventually, the Sealand woman rescued David, Petra and Rosalind and they travelled to Zealand via a flying craft that she had came in during the evening.

This time when Lance is able to open his eyes, he’s not being dragged. He’s not even in the desert anymore. He’s in a house, or something like that.
