’The Great Gatsby’ by F. Scott Fitzgerald opens effectively and prepares the reader for the rest of the novel. Fitzgerald does this by using techniques such as symbolism and setting. The symbolism in the first few chapters of the novel is very important as it prepares the reader for the rest of the novel.

I must admit I had some reservations attending an AA meeting even though it was for school/research purposes. I’ve always felt these meetings are for the weak people who do not have enough courage and desire to square up to their problems. My skepticism of the Alcoholic Anonymous arose from watching the effect of alcoholism on families‚ relationships‚ children etc. and I always felt that these meetings were a way for alcoholics to self-validate their actions and decisions‚ neglecting the harm and

It is not “new” in the normal sense as most of them have been in the youth ministry for a while‚ it is that they have all changed and it seems like a “new” group. They speak

Walking into the AA meeting made me feel very awkward and out of place‚ but as the meeting began and everyone started sharing their stories I began to feel comfortable about being there.
