and communication. The issue of preventing
international terrorism became global, in full
sense of this word. No longer can people expect

Great Gatsby: Book vs. Film Before the invention
of television and film the art of story telling
was restricted to theater and literature. Theater
was and still is performed live by actors who tell
some kind of story through their performance. But
theater is still limited greatly in its ability to
convey setting to the viewer. In order to fully
grasp the power of any story one must believe, in
