men. During the 1920 s though, females began to
show some boldness and started to move away from
the stereotypes that were placed on them, and
strived to live their lives according to their own
version of the American Dream. The women of The

students to read. I think that the book shows
students that even if they have a dream it might
not come true. This book also shows that even if
you have almost achieved your goal it could be
ruined by some one else. his dream must have
seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp
it (p. 187). This book teaches that the harder
that you work for your dream does not mean it will
come true. Some people dedicate their selves to

Valley Of Ashes Great Gatsby

Could the color of her clothing tell me about the
type of personality that she has? At first, one
may think that this is a stereotype, however at
times it can be true. A person wearing a neon
green shirt and purple preacher pants is probably
more likely to be outgoing than someone wearing
jeans and a white polo. In literature, colors are
often purposefully chosen for different characters
to represent the character s personalities. In The

they are similar, and in some ways each is unique.
In this essay, I will compare and examine each of
the couples, and try to give some insight as to
why none of the relationships worked out. The
relationship between Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan
was probably the most one sided. The entire time

Clean Brooks begins the essay by stating that
Americans have believed that we are innocent. He
implies that our innocence is depleting.
Fitzgerald uses his wide array of characters
throughout the novel The Great Gatsby in order to
portray the image as he sees it, and perhaps what
Americans believed during that time, of the
innocent American. Brooks begins with basically a
walk-through of the story while still providing
details of the characters qualities that suggest
their innocence. His first c...
