Gatsby was able to acquire his wealth in a small amount of time. “It was a factual imitation of some Hotel de Ville in Normandy‚ with a tower on one side‚ spanking new under a thin beard of ivory” (Pg. 11). This quote from narrator Nick Caraway accurately describes just how newly discovered Gatsby’s wealth was. The “thin beard of ivory” (Pg. 11) shows that Gatsby is not nearly established as other families whose ivory is strong and rich with heritage. Nick Caraway likes Gatsby and describes him as “An

Hatshepsut was 12 when she married her half brother‚ Thutmose II. She got married because her father‚ Thutmose I‚ who was the Pharaoh of Egypt (circa. 1500 B.C.)‚ had died. Thutmose II inherited the throne from Thutmose I. Thutmose II was the son of Thutmose I‚ like Hatshepsut‚ but not her full brother‚ because he was born to one of her father’s (Thutmose I’s) other wives. This was normal in ancient Egypt‚ as they had to keep the royal blood in the line of the throne. Thutmose II ruled for 15 years

Alice Neel’s painting titled David Bourdon and Gregory Battcock displays a relationship that appears to have gone dreadfully wrong. Alice Neel painted this painting in 1970 with the characters David Bourdon and Gregory Battcock as the titles suggests. With the different colors being used and Neel’s placement of these two men in the painting makes them seem to be at a cross road. This relatively large‚ naturalistic portrait being at 59 ¾ inches x 56 inches done on oil on canvas shows a failing relationship
