Jordan Baker‚ a catalyst‚ helped to convince Nick to have Daisy and Jay Gatsby over for tea to reunite the lovers. The static character of Jordan Baker is not just immoral and dishonest‚ she has some good characteristics such as beauty‚ and has a boyish charm. Another positive trait of Jordan Baker is that she represents the “new woman” of the 1920s. In the 1920s‚ women felt more free (because they now had a right to vote) and found that there was more to life than being a housewife; Jordan Baker

I was talking about time. It’s so hard for me to believe in it. Some things go. Pass on. Some things just stay. I used to think it was my rememory. You know. Some things you forget.

Cristina Garcia’s Dreaming in Cuban tells the story about three generations of a Cuban family and their different views provoked by the Cuban revolution. Though part of the same family‚ an outsider might classify them as adversaries judging by relationships between one another‚ the exiled family members‚ and the differentiations between political views. Although all of these central themes reoccur over and over throughout the narrative‚ family relationships lie at the heart of the tale. The relationships

I could say that they really trying to find ways on

A Comparison of Langston Hughes’ End and Cristina Rossetti’s Uphill The two poems‚ End and Uphill‚ by Langston Hughes and Cristina Rossetti respectively‚ have a common theme: death. However‚ the overall message of the poems is very different‚ as two distinct perspectives on death and its meaning unfold. Thus‚ Hughes’ poem describes death as an absolute final destination‚ as the title also indicates. The brief but effective title‚ “End”‚ suggests an ultimate state of nothingness‚ from which
