Authors create suspense by making the reader feel something wrong is going to happen in their novel. Some authors that do that are Edgar Allan Poe and Ray Bradbury in their stories, “The Tell-Tale Heart”, and “The Pedestrian.”…
Authors use many different tools to portray and create some fictional world inside the readers mind such as plot, point of view, characterization, symbolism, etc... “The Cask of Amontillado” and “The Lottery” are two very melancholy stories each in their own way. Edgar Allen Poe and Shirley Jackson both use excellent techniques to create the peculiar atmosphere and mood of their stories.…
The movie “The Great Gatsby” shows life in the 1920s, but there are some inaccuracies between characteristics of the time period and the movie. Despite these inaccuracies, most of the movie stays true to the time period. It accurately shows the imbalance of power during that time. Although the United States was industrializing, only a select group of people became wealthy. The workers, on the other hand, were dirt poor and had a much lower of standard of living. This contrast can be seen by Gatsby’s life and the life of the workers in the Valley of Ashes. The movie also accurately shows the cultural aspects of the 1920s, for the most part. The attire of the people is accurate. It is full of flapper dresses and gaudy accessories, which is what a normal party outfit consisted of then. It also does a good job of focusing on the music then. Music was a major part of that time period as it was being to emerge more. One inaccuracy was the style of music used. For the movie, they imitated the style of music but they modernized it and changed it to fit in this time period. The city was also incorrect. For the movie, they added many colors and there was always something new to be seen. They added onto the city for the movie to make it seem better and larger than life, when a city during that time period was still exciting but not as over the top. Despite these differences, the movie has many aspects that are accurate to the time period.…

In addition, the unique structure is evident in both “Chronicles of A death Foretold” and “The Great Gatsby”, but the use of structure was used to play the same purpose in both novel; and that is to demonstrate the chronology and its effect in justifying the death evident in both novels. In Chronicle of a death foretold the most prominent form of structure that was evident is narrative structure. The way in which the author divided the narrative structure of the plot and events is through 5 sections. The first section is the morning of Santiago Nasar’s Death, the second section is the historical aspect were the reader learns about the past of Bayardo San Roman and Angela Vicario, the third section is the morning of Santiago’s death which is…
In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the character Jay Gatsby always has an air of mystery surrounding him. Is Jay his real name? How did he get all of his money? What is he doing in New York?

After analyzing the story, it becomes blatantly obvious that Jay Gatsby displays every last one of these characteristics.…

The dictionary characterizes madness as "mental delusion or the eccentric behavior arising from it”. Emily Dickinson once composed that “Much Maness is divinest sense- / To a discerning Eye”. This statement raises the question of have writers like Mary Shelley, Peter Shaffer, J.D. Salinger and Zora Neale Hurston exhibited a “discerning eye” in creating some of literature’s most unconventional, seemingly irrational characters or have these writers put forth an alternative statement about eccentricity?…
Nick Carraway starts off the book by telling the advice of his father. “In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since. ‘Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,’ he told me, ‘just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantage that you’ve had’”. (Fitzgerald, pg. 7). In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s, Fitzgerald creates an artificial world where all the characters sole purpose in life is money, wealth and power. The corruption of the American dream is through materialism freedom, equal opportunities, and the chance everyone to succeed by the ambition in their hearts. The American dream became a mindset in all who set…
For Jay Gatsby idealism and truth play important roles in how he chooses to live his life as well as how others view his life. Every individual holds different ideals and matters of what they believe to be the truth. For individuals existence and truth pertains to only what the person knows and believes in; therefore, how one perceives things to be is how they exist. For Gatsby the only Daisy that exists is perfect and the embodiment of everything he desires. For the narrator, Nick Carraway, the way he views Daisy is messy and imperfect so she only exists that way. Written only in first person point of view, the story holds a certain biased opinion of Daisy that affects the opinion of Gatsby. For Gatsby reality, or reality as he knows it,…

The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is often referred to as the great American novel. The book’s immense symbolism and its many messages make The Great Gatsby a novel that has the ability to appeal to all who read it. Religion plays a key role in the book. For instance, religious beliefs in the 1920s influenced the main characters of the story in a significant way. The Valley of Ashes that is described in chapter two may also help to represent the moral dilapidation that the rich undergo in the 1920s. Lastly, Gatsby seems to represent Jesus in the novel, while T.J. Eckleburg represents God Himself and Wilson represents Judas. Overall, while there are many symbols in the Great Gatsby, religion is one that seems to come up…
Winning the heart of a long-lost lover, a dream only achieved by a lucky few.
