Discuss Fitzgerald’s use of symbols within The Great Gatsby. Throughout his novel ‘The Great Gatsby’, F. Scott Fitzgerald uses symbolism. Symbols are objects, characters, figures or colours used to represent abstract ideas or concepts. The first symbol we see appears at the end of Chapter one.

The most widely known of such arguments is that of St. Anselm from Proslogium of St. Anselm, which states that God is considered a perfect being unlike humans or any other world subject. The fact that he is perfect in a world of imperfection proves his existence. God is also the highest conceivable idea of perfection, and therefore

In some ways, “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson could be seen as controversial. Within the first paragraph, we are left with two main questions; “what is the lottery?” and “why does it happen?” A major theme that answers the first question is all about tradition. Yes, the lottery is a tradition in many towns. No one has ever questioned this tradition, even though it is quite inhumane. In all honesty, you could compare this story very well to The Hunger Games just because of what this tradition consists

It was a hot Sunday catholic morning, a usual for Spring, Texas, I had my creative imaginative mind and the world to keep me entertained. I was in my preppy Sunday clothes in front of the church waiting for the bells to tell me to come inside. I ran off and played with friends while also feeling an eerie sense of someone or something watching us. We continued to run around until the eventual loud and beautiful chimes of the church bells ring. As my friends and I ran for the church's doors, expecting

Guildenstern fail to interpret the meaning of these things, because they seem to lack such basic information as their own identities, and as a result spend the entirety of the play in a state of constant confusion. Their confusion stems from both the sheer randomness of the universe, illustrated by the bizarre coin-tossing scene, and the ambiguous and unclear motives of the other characters, who pop onstage and deliver brief, perplexing speeches before quickly exiting. The play ultimately suggests that the prominent

philosophy of deconstructivism, as the structure’s appearance takes primary focus. This deconstructivist philosophy is represented in Zaha Hadid’s Beko Building. The structural properties of the building defy the architectural norm through the randomness of the building’s shape. As is displayed in the building’s site plan the structure takes on an irregular ‘water-droplet’ form - comprised of multiple layers and storeys- that highlight the importance of form rather than function.
