Different books, despite different storylines, may still address similar themes. What similarities of themes did you find in your paired texts, and how are they obvious in the character's behaviour?       Throughout two of F Scott Fitzgerald's books, ‘The Great Gatsby' and ‘Tender is the Night', comparisons can be made between the themes that are dealt with in each book. These themes that are portrayed, include materialism, the corruption of dreams and idealism, which all

which could lead to major economic failure. Tourism is one of the biggest incomes in France, they make over 200 million a year through tourists. “With tourism accounting for 78% of the eurozone’s No. 2 economy last week’s truck attack on the French Riviera deals a new blow to an industry that had yet to recover fully from the bloody assaults in Paris in January and November last year, which were also claimed by Islamic State” (Reuters) Tourism in France was down 20% before the attacks in Nice and

South of France would tend to be a little dull for those more interested in the fast-paced nightlife, visiting Antibes might prove to be quite an enjoyable experience in itself just yet. Located along the French Riviera, Antibes sits directly on the water and is positioned in between the familiar French cities of Nice and Cannes. As much beautiful scenery as there is to see throughout town during the daylight hours, there are just as many things to keep you entertained at dark. So if partying runs through

“The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.” This quote by James Adams shows the concepts of a dream that is linked to hard work and opportunity. In Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and Ridley Scott’s American Gangster, Gatsby and Frank portrays the theme of the destructive nature of dreams. The Great Gatsby follows the story of a charming yet mysterious man named Gatsby

Define "The American Dream". In what way does Death of a Salesman point out the hopelessness of chasing this dream? Are there any rewards? The idea of the American Dream is truly subjective. To some, it is living in the lap of luxury in all aspects. To others, it is a chance at a better brighter opportunity for themselves or their families. Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" portrays the promise of the American Dream in the form of opportunity, freedom, success and wealth; the ability to acquire

The Great Gatsby: Jay Gatsby’s Greatness In modern-day society, one will measure one’s greatness by wealth rather than the content of one’s character. In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jay Gatsby is great.

Jay Gatsby’s rise from a poor farmer boy in North Dakota to living a lavish lifestyle

The American Dream is represented as trying to reach for a luxurious life with not many obstacles to overcome. When it comes to the social ladder, people are concerned with where they stand in relation to others. The Great Gatsby by F.

The American Dream is defined as: “The ideal that every US citizen should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative.” In theory, if someone were to genuinely follow through by working hard, being determined, and having initiative, such a dream could be obtainable. A majority, of the time, however, people lose sight of these ideals; which results in the purity of the American Dream being marred. In the novel The Great Gatsby by F

The mystery of Jay Gatsby is the only thing that keep me intrigued at times where the long-winded descriptions and adjectives became a bit too much for me. I did not get the concept of the book at first because I thought everything from the beginning to the end would be told from Jay Gatsby's point of view. No one seemed to know anything factual about this man, yet everyone knew of him because of his wealth and lavish parties. I was surprised at how low key the book or rather the author introduced
