passionate backing for the Palestinian cause since
the 1930 s, they often acted in a cautious,
constrained way based on national or
self-interest. For decades, the PLO depended on

Falling Action Civil War

works, because author was able to give readers an
insight on the essence of war from very unusual
perspective. If author lived today, he would have
been in jail, since being a mercenary is now
considered as the criminal offence. In For Whom

The Vilification of Women in The Great Gatsby and
Ethan Frome Women have played an important role in
American literature. Unfortunately, this role was
often negative, without cause to be so. Edith
Wharton's Ethan Frome and F. Scott Fitzgeralds The

in which women are needlessly vilified. In The
Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald presents three women in
an especially bad light. Daisy Fay Buchanan, the

Imaginary, because the story is a fantasy; but
perhaps a great deal of Oxford is imaginary
anyway. In Oxford, likelihood evaporates. At about

All Souls announced that they had just spent an
