Modernism Reflection: WINTER DREAMS by F. SCOTT FITZGERALD I found F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short story “Winter Dreams” to be very avant-garde and elitist as it tells of the rise of Dexter Green‚ a hardworking‚ middle class man who becomes caught up in the pursue of wealth and status. In his quest to be part of the ‘old money’ elite‚ he meets Judy Jones‚ a beautiful and youthful woman who further fuels his desire for greater wealth. The story addresses the ‘American dream’ where it was believed

Furthermore‚ she tells the readers of substitute techniques of achieving the same ends. The title of the book is enough to make us understand that it was a hint of a spring season with no bird songs

I agree that Winter Sonata is the pioneer of Hanryu. Like the article describes‚ Winter Sonata contain different elements which catch the eyeballs of middle aged women. The ‘pure love’ plots‚ the romantic and slow-paced scenes and the choice of actors blended and created a chemistry action which provide rooms for the audience to fantasize and envision themselves in the scenes of the drama. Winter Sonata not only fulfills the sensational needs of the middle aged women‚ but also fulfills their psychological

I never did like driving in the winter. I was almost always running late‚ time just tended to escape me. In the winter‚ everything required a sluggish attentiveness that I didn’t have the tolerance for. Driving had always been a tranquil and lulling thing for me‚ up until I hit solid black ice. I never expected to spin out of control like that and I was so sure that the only way this could end was with my car upside down in the middle of the road. My knuckles were white from gripping the bitter

Isaiah Bradley’s character in "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" serves as a symbol of the historical and ongoing racial injustices faced by African Americans‚ particularly those who served in the American military during the world war. His experiences as an African American super soldier show us the systemic racism and marginalization that black soldiers have endured both during and after their service‚ with no recognition‚ respect‚ or rights. Bradley’s experience shows the harsh reality of America’s

Those Winter Sundays In the poem‚ “Those Winter Sundays‚” by Robert Hayden‚ he tells a familiar story about the relationship between a parent and a child. The story is that more times than not‚ the child is oblivious to the sacrifices. He talks about the father still getting up on Sundays after a long work week‚ and how he would build a fire to warm up the house before his kids would get out of bed. He would also polish his child’s shoes. He would do all this and no one would ever thank him. “When
