The Green Light The green light at the end of Daisy’s dock is a significant symbol within the book. To Gatsby‚ the green light represents his dream‚ which is Daisy. To attain her would be completing Gatsby’s American Dream. The first time the green light is seen in the novel is also the first time Nick sees Gatsby.

Dante sought to show that the Roman people had acquired their ‘world empire’ by divine right. By doing so‚ according to Joseph Canning‚ Dante gave “powerful expression to the myth of Rome‚ deploying a mass of republican and imperial examples drawn from Roman history and literature”.

of this poem I have noticed a change. It was brought up in class‚ the passage where Dante the narrator explicitly addresses the reader. Again‚ on page 229‚ Dante stops to take a moment addressing the reader‚ “If‚ reader‚ you are slow now to believe / what I shall tell‚ that is no cause for wonder‚ / for I who saw it hardly can accept it.” (Canto XXV‚ 46-48) I am curious about Dante’s purpose. In these passages‚ Dante the author steps in and takes over the story from being told by his character. Is

In The Inferno‚ Dante descends through the nine circles of Hell‚ encountering increasingly serious sins‚ most of which are crimes. The levels of Hell can be interpreted as a gradation of crimes‚ with penalties in proportion to their relative gravity of sin. While crimes are transgressions against human law‚ Dante’s Christian orthodox ambitions translate the treatment of these seemingly earthly crimes as sins‚ transgressions against divine law. For the purposes of this paper‚ the two terms can be

Light From personal experience I would say light within architecture is what makes you feel uplifted as you walk into a room or a space. Light can be controlled and manipulated within certain spaces by adding light or having an absence of light. Light can completely change the dynamics of a room or space and can also have a very strong effect on the mood. Light within architecture can either be natural or synthetic‚ both creating a special experience within a room. In my research I will
