controversy for mixed reasons, which recently
included the use of racial slurs and accusations

the struggle that ensues is the most suffusive
theme throughout The Great Gatsby. The fact that
we never really know the characters, and the
corrupt immoral things they do, directly represent
the 20 s high society lifestyle. The characters
continued to cheat on their spouses, let money
become their obsession, and debated the American
dream for the hopes of one day obtaining
happiness. But the fact remains that they have no
true morals or ideals o...

Huckleberry Finn is, almost all people would say
either Huck himself, or Jim, the black slave. They
are both essential to the story, though, and both
give to the story an alternate perspective. Huck
is the outsider, the nonconformist who just doesn?
t fit into society, and Jim is the runaway black
slave, fearing for his freedom, being persecuted
only on the grounds of the color of his skin. Jim
