Elocution

I find that at one point or another, we act as someone we are not in hopes of achieving something we believe to be out of reach. We tell ourselves that what we are doing is right to portray ourselves as ‘good people.’ The world created by F. Scott Fitzgerald in The Great Gatsby, is an exact representation of the one that we live in, where it is made clear that there are only those who pursue, are pursued as well as the busy and tired. The not so great great Gatsby devotes his entire life and happiness

words: “Jimmy was bound to get ahead in life. He always had some resolves like this or something”. The word choice of “bound to” establishes Mr Gatz’s belief his son was born to be ambitious and was destined to be great. He would often “practice elocution, poise and how to attain it” every day, showing his ambition from an early age. Young Gatsby had always believed in the American Dream, however, all that effort and discipline he put into this dream has only earned him ill-gotten gains and it set

In 2015, the applicant pool increased at 57% of business schools worldwide (Gellman). Today, a Masters of Business Administration defines a businessperson and unlocks the doors to the financial world. Modern business hinges on education, but when formal schooling was not widely available, artists considered other factors integral to a flourishing businessman and financial success. Authors, playwrights, and filmmakers recognized the value of formal education, but imagined experience, social dexterity

The American Dream is one of the most prevalent themes in The Great Gatsby. It is essentially the belief that, regardless of social class, anyone can become wealthy and famous. In the novel, Jay Gatsby attempts to reunify with Daisy Buchanan by achieving great wealth, but he fails and dies having been unsuccessful in his mission. Though it may appear to some that Gatsby, the main character of the novel, has achieved the American Dream, it turns out to be a massive illusion. When, following Gatsby’s

Walking into my fifth grade classroom for the millionth time, I searched around the room to see if there was anyone like me. A girl with chocolate skin. For as long as I can remember, I was the only one in my grade, ever since I started school. But this did not mean I did not have friends. Caterina and I were best friends that year. She was from Venezuela, had white olive skin with long blonde hair, and light eyes. One school day, when we were walking to P.E., she said to me “I like your hair because

It seems unusual to start from scratch with such a thing. With there being several types of accents, why must one feel like they should change theirs? As Text B illustrates, it seems as though it is celebrities in particular that are changing their accents to fit in with ‘showbiz’ and the latest trends or for a movie they will play a part in. Within seconds of meeting someone, we make judgements about who they are just by the way they sound. Attitudes towards accents are based more on social connotations

Starting from 1865 to 170, the African- American race was slowly developing and advancing in the US community, but even with the abolition of slavery and voting rights, people around them still scorned at them and viewed them as an inferior and lower species. Segregation was not looked down upon in the 1905s and 1960s. African Americans were tortured verbally and even physically in these times, known as the Jim Crow era. Social activists like Martin Luther King Jr. have worked hard a dedicated their

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE During my childhood days I used to visit my grandmother’s place in my native village. I saw my grandmother suffering from cervical spondylosis. I used to see her wincing in pain. For the entire village there was just one small hospital without even basic amenities which she could not afford to go. It was then that I noticed that in my country India, home to over a billion, has a low doctor to patient ratio and even fewer people who could afford treatment. From that day on wards

Joanna’s and Jane’s lifestyles. The Girls of Slender Means by Murial Spark is a novel about the girls who lived in the May of Teck Club during the year of 1945. There are many characters involved, but the one’s who caught my attention the most are Jane Wright and Joanna Childe. They represent different aspects of ideas, lifestyles and, also, have different perspectives on the “World of Books.” Joanna Childe was the daughter of a country rector
