My Reaction to Kubuku Rides Again (This is it)
Kubuku Rides Again was written by Larry Brown in
1988. This intense story portrays a powerful theme
of alcoholism and how damaging it can become. In
fact, alcoholism is very destructive because in
most cases the user is unaware of the negative

addictive drug has caused. I loved reading this
story because I could relate to it. I compared the
destructive theme of alcoholism, and the
dependency that is c...

Great Gatsby Fitzgerald F Scott Fitzgerald

... picture in his mind to mundane reality. The
Great Gatsby abounds in touches like these. The
Great Gatsby has inspired probably as much
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
seems possible that criticism will exhaust the
novel. If This Side of Paradise resembles the
Wellsian novel of saturation, where everything is
included, The Great Gatsby...

government marched into Vietnam, it was because it
feared a growth of Communism in a region of close
proximity to communist China. When the United
