... picture in his mind to mundane reality. The
Great Gatsby abounds in touches like these. The

critical commentary as any other twentieth-century
American novel, but it is so intricately patterned
and tightly knit, so beautifully integrated
through a series of parallels, that it hardly

860 words
Pythagoras must have been one of the world's
greatest men. However, he wrote nothing and it is
unknown how much of the doctrine of Pythagoras is
due to the founder of society and how much is
later development. Sometimes he is represented as
a man of science, a mathematician, and even as a
preacher of mystical doctrines. None of these
traditional views, however, should be rejected,
for he contributed his genius in each field.
