The Mystery that was Jay Gatsby “I carry on a little business on the side, a sort of sideline, you understand” (Fitzgerald 87). In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, this is the closest Jay Gatsby comes to revealing how he actually made his fortune. And even here, he doesn’t reveal much, but Nick Carraway assumes it’s something illegal when Gatsby goes on to say, “It happens to be a rather confidential sort of thing” (Fitzgerald 88). Gatsby is a mysterious man. Because he is evasive and even

In Major League Baseball the general belief is that the more a team spends on their payroll the more games they will win. With the absence of a salary cap baseball may seam unfair to the smaller market teams who can't bare the salary costs that the larger market teams can. In Michael Lewis' Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game Lewis depicts just how the Oakland Athletics have been winning in an unfair game for almost a decade. The A's are a small market team that doesn't have nearly the

to pursue these based off the fact that I can talk, watch and play sports whenever necessary. After graduation in 2020, my plan for my career will have begun. I plan on returning back to Chicago and getting involved with sports teams around the area such as Chicago White Sox, Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, Chicago Blackhawks, and any teams affiliated with these teams. My plan is to work my way up to a marketing director, and being in charge of the sales and the different promotions each team can do

When a person´s birthday comes around does he/she ever wonder what happened on his/her birthday before he/she was even thought of? Do they ever wonder about the special events that happened on that day besides their birth? I was astonished to have found out how much had happened on October 19. I was born on October 19, 2000. My parents are Billy and Teresa Summerlin. I was born in Mission Hospital on a Thursday morning. It was fifty- eight degrees and it was dark outside. My doctor was Dr. David

Bessie Coleman left a legacy not just in Texas but in the United States that few pilots could ever achieve. She may not have been the first African American to earn a pilot's license but she was the first female African American. When people hear of famous African Americans their first thought automatically goes to Rosa Parks or Martin Luther King Jr but nobody has heard of Bessie Coleman. It is thought that Bessie’s life was shaped by the tragedies she endured. First Bessie was born in early 1892

Leader Integrity Leadership integrity is incredibly valuable to solidity of our society. First of all, I must give the definition of a leader. A leader is a person who leads or commands a group, organization, or country. This is only what the dictionary defines one as, which is very vague. I would have to define a leader, whether good or bad, as someone in charge or takes the responsibility for a group of individuals or equipment. It matters not if this person does this correctly. Someone can

“The more money the louder it talks”- Arnold Rothstein. The Jewish mafia and the faces of it were very prevalent people in the 1920s and made lots of illegal money and were very corrupt. Money, money, money and more money, that was their goal. Most lived a lavish life of a Hollywood gangster. Arnold Rothstein,Hyman Abrams, and Israel "Ice pick Willie" Alderman were a few of these mobsters that broke prohibition laws, ran illegal business and gambled. Arnold Rothstein, who heavily influenced the character

This past year, the curse that lasted over one hundred and eight years, was uplifted from baseball’s most beloved team, the Chicago Cubs. Baseball is known as America’s pastime for a reason. It has been in around since the early 1900’s. It has been apart of my life since birth. The World Series is like a holiday to my family. And if our team, the Chicago White Sox, are playing in it, it gives us a sense of pride and hope. It changed the way I look at life, when I saw the way the professional

Argumentative Essay Drug testing!! Is it necessary? I think that drug testing for athletes should be required because athletic students should be held to higher standards because they represent their school in many ways. Also playing a sport is a privilege, not a right and they should abide by the rules. Another reason that we should drug test athletic students is that the student may need serious and we can get them that. First of all athletic students should
