The Great Gatsby: Reader Response Jewels Hinton Wishum English 11 P5 “This isn’t just an epigram--life is much more successfully looked at from a single window‚ after all.” (Fitzgerald 4). This Novel is like an exceptionally elongated poem. Poems are usually meant to be taken apart and analyzed because there are many ways to view it. The Great Gatsby is a fine example of this. There are many symbols and representations of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s view of the 1920’s as a whole. He demonstrates

I choose this quote because it shows how Gandalf is perceived from the hobbits. I think Bilbo’s opinion will change if he decides to go on this quest and I hope he has a better opinion of Gandalf and adventures. I think this quote shows that Gandalf has been out of the radar with the last line with Bilbo saying “I had no idea you were still in the business” which I interpret that Gandalf has been away. Maybe on a big quest? This quote came from Thorin while talking about the quest. Thorin is very

first thing to remember is that she doesn’t run from danger. A great quote that expresses this idea is “... but having jumped off a mile-high cliff while being chased by murderous beasts didn’t leave us much choice is the matter.” This shows you that Vega will take a risk in order to continue her adventure and keep her friend safe. Another quote that further proves this is “ I had just stood there as the inficio was coming to kill us.” That line from the story shows that sometimes Vega Jane can get

How fitting‚ that A Long Way Home - a chilling memoir of Saroo Brierly‚ should evoke Charles Dickens opening line in A Tale of Two Cities “It was the best of time‚ it was the worst of time”. The best of time when Saroo ultimately is adopted into a good-hearted family in Australia‚ the worst of time when Saroo’s family in Khandwa is engulfed in the lugubrious belief that their beloved son is gone forever. Notwithstanding growing up with devoted parents in Australia‚ Saroo is still manacled into the

this quote relates to the play as a whole. “And yet to say the truth‚ reason and love keep little company together nowadays” This quote from act 3‚ scene 1 in Shakespeare’s play A Midsummers Night Dream‚ seems so insignificant when Bottom‚ a simple and silly workman with the head of an ass‚ expresses this to Titania Queen of the Fairies. She has recklessly fallen in love with Bottom at first sight as a result of the love potion placed upon her by Oberon King of the Fairies. But this quote in fact
