Magical realism is when events, have a magical aspect to them, are entered or set into the mundane world and is naturally accepted into reality. It can include cultural and historical realities placed into ordinary worlds, supernatural people or creatures are otherwise viewed as normal, and even metamorphosis is considered a normal day to day event rather than a miracle. Magical realism may seem like other genres of fiction, however it has its own unique characteristics to characterize it as its own.

Towards the middle of the book Nick finally got to know Mr.Gatsby a little better. Gatsby had made it clear to Nick that he shouldn’t believe the rumours that he heard because Gatsby doesn’t want Nick to get the wrong impression of him. The reason behind this is because he knew that Nick had a closeness with Daisy so he was trying hard to impress those surrounding Daisy’s family life because

Bridge: This is a truth that is found in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, novel full of unlikable characters, two of which are unhappily married women having affairs.

Some of Ellis's uncertainty passed when he returned the safe ground of his profession, and spoke in a colder, more clinical tone, attempting to remind himself that girl across was him was a patient, one that needed help. And, that, imagining her as a sexual object, whilst simultaneously attempting to convince Emily not to view herself that way, was a conflict that wouldnt' end well. However, as he finished his summation, ensuring his voice was strong, and contained a certainty; one that he, as a male, a doctor, and years of life experience should be accepted as a greater authority than her; McHugh could retained the image of Emily, bent over, mouth open in pleasure, firm, young tits bouncing, as he fucked her on his desk.

The Great Gatsby by Francis Scott Fitzgerald and Passing by Nella Larsen are two significant historical novels that highlight the problems of the nineteen-twenties. These two stories, written within a decade, contrast each other deeply as The Great Gatsby investigates the deep socio-economic tensions of the early twentieth century whereas Passing investigates the deep racial tensions throughout the beginning of the twentieth century. An aspect intrinsic to both books is how these tensions relate to and hinder the American Dream, the idea that every American has an equal opportunity to achieve success through hard work and determination. Both novels present characters that

The Great Gatsby was written during the 1920s, which is also known as the Roaring Twenties. In the narrative F. Scott Fitzgerald gave a critical view of this time. In the 1920s and the 1930s there was a lot going on, for example bootlegging, drinking, criminal activity, and an evolution of jazz music. The women were also going through an evolution, in 1920 they got the right to vote and since then they changed a lot and they became known as Flappers. Women not only wanted to take care of their families but also wanted to have a career. “The independent New Woman, who rejected marriage for career and political action who often rooted her emotional life […] was gradually discredited. In her place came the flapper, who celebrated her sexual independence

Although the timeline is kept vague in The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald makes it clear that his work of art is based in the early 1920’s between World War I and the Prohibition. This was a transitional period in the United States. America changed after the war and as a result, so did life. The idea of the perfect life fluctuated as troops began flooding back to the United States, migrating to cities, picking up jobs, and buying houses for their new or planned families. The economy was booming, jazz became the new popular music, woman (more commonly referred to as “flappers”) and men were expressing their freedom by having parties and hanging out in clubs or bars, Henry Ford just introduced the Model-T which made automobiles

“The orgastic future that year by year recedes before us” is the unattainable goal of those living in Tom and Daisy’s world—a world where lives are wasted chasing the unreachable (Fitzgerald 180). In his 1925 novel The Great Gatsby, author F. Scott Fitzgerald suggests that making any progress whatsoever toward this aspiration often requires people to establish facades that enable them to progress socially, but that a crippled facade will backfire and cause detriment to its creator. In the passage where Nick realizes who Gatsby is on page 48, Nick observes two different versions of Gatsby—one that is reassuring and truthful and another who “pick[s] his words with care” (Fitzgerald 48). Nick is at first attracted to Gatsby’s constructed

For many years, America has struggled with equality. Through all the assumptions and stereotypes, America has been beat. The amount of inequality in America has dramatically decreased throughout the years. Social equality is something that everyone has always wanted. One of the biggest inequalities is African American rights. Constantly there was always a change being made that has made African American rights so much better. Within Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, the audience is introduced to social equality by Scout Finch in Maycomb, Alabama. Since she is so young, she struggles to understand why there is inequality in the 1930s. Her being young is one form of inequality. Through all the assumptions and stereotypes of character interaction in

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby explores the society of the 1920s and the fundamental clash between the East and West as a new money businessman lives a lavish lifestyle to win his past love. Although people with old money such as the Buchanans survive, Jay Gatsby dies. Gatsby, despite his dubious legality, literally and figuratively creates a self-made identity that collapses on the cusp of achieving his dream. In the scene beginning on page 110 where Nick imagines Gatsby falling in love with Daisy, Fitzgerald portrays the death of the American dream through charged stylistic devices.

The need to continuously monitoring physical phenomena has leads to many advances in sensing, computing and communication technologies. And a new technology evolves which is known as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Wireless Sensor Networks are a new kind of distributed systems that are an integral part of the physical space they inhabit. The massive growth in this technology has gathered the heed and imagination of many researchers, providing a broad spectrum of ideas to be implemented in various applications [2].
