Yellow Raft In Blue Water
502 wordsWhen writers write from a place of insight and real caring about the truth, they have the ability to throw the lights on for the reader. (Anne Layout) When a reader can see a situation in a distinct and realistic way that appeals to his emotion, he knows that the writer has written with great insight.

Examining The Film Rendition Of Great Gatsby
750 wordsThe Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald captivates the reader and creates almost an addiction to the novel. I as the reader found it difficult to put down many times throughout the book. Sadly, I did not have the same feelings for the movies portrayal. In fact, the way I reacted to the movie was almost the exact opposite of how I reacted to the book. Obviously the producer of the movie had created different images in his head than I had created when I read the story. First and foremost, the perf...

He was very rich and thought that it made him superior to other people. He enjoys showing off his possessions, " I've got a...

People Gatsby Great
414 wordsThe Great Gatsby is one the best books to reference the period of the 1920 s. The book stood for tainted morals, and corruption between people and people, and business and business, and most of the time involving both. The message sent from the book shows us the success stories, and the all too familiar depression stories of the no job opportunities.

F Scott Fitzgerald J D Salinger
797 wordsThere are many writers like James Joyce, Patrick Kananach and Thomas Moore who use symbolism to convey and support indirect meaning in their writings. J. D. Salinger and F.
