F Scott Fitzgerald Fitzgerald Has Created
1,644 wordsNICK CARRAWAY has a special place in this novel. He is not just one character among several, it is through his eyes and ears that we form our opinions of the other characters. Often, readers of this novel confuse Nick's stance towards those characters and the world he describes with those of F. Scott Fitzgerald's because the fictional world he has created closely resembles the world he himself experienced. But not every narrator is the voice of the author. Before considering the "gap" between au...

Surveys show, for example, that supporters of elective legal abortion are especially likely to support In an earlier essay in America (9 / 26 / 87) I reported that in 1982 Americans o...

Attention From Men Five Ladies Women
377 wordsI attempted to answer the age old question by surveying five ladies who are self-proclaimed experts at the "art" of shopping. These five ladies, Joanne, Kim, Marie, Shirley, and Kimmie sat down with me individually and this is what I basically gathered from the discussion sessions. Shopping is an addiction of sorts. Women get thrills from purchasing styles du jour. Joanne stated that she had to buy at least one thing every time she went shopping just so she doesnt feel unfulfilled. She had to bu...

Democracy In America Elected Officials
1,179 wordsThe introspective argument produced by Alexis De Tocqueville in his literary work entitled Democracy in America of the American democratic system is both cynical and enlightening. His prospective as a Frenchman on the bureaucracy of this nation cast new light on a government that is proclaimed to be superior then all others.

Make Me Feel French Revolution
1,041 wordsOn reading 'A Tale Of Two Cities', my general impression is that the French chapters are a lot more interesting to read. I prefer the chapters set in France because they are much more exciting and I am carried away by the novel whereas I found, that in the English chapters, they were all about Lucie and her undying love for her father and husband. This was, quite frankly, tedious and a waste of Dickens' effort to put some sentiment into these chapters which are set in London, a long way from the...

Because of this reason, any government, no matter how despotic can attribute their regime as being democratic. From this idea, he hits the origin of imperialism, for colonization starts with a justification that the colonizer is more democratic, thus being more virtuous and civilized; therefore they i...

Treaty Of Versailles Ww Ii

Germany was being forced to pay astronomical amounts in war reparations every year, which made it impossible for this country to even ho...
