Causes Of Civil War
1,269 wordsThere were many causes for the American civil war. Some causes were underlying and some were immediate but all were vital in the cause for the American civil war. The differences in the lifestyles between the north and the south were an underlying cause. The south had an economy that was based almost entirely on agriculture.

Makes It Clear Jem And Scout
1,381 wordsWhen Harper Lee published To Kill A Mockingbird in 1960, she did not yet know that it was going to be made into a movie. The movie, filmed under the same title around that time, differs from the book at some points. The main themes of the book and the movie are different. While the novel mainly deals with racism, patriotism, and the mob attitude of society, the movie partially ignores these, if not totally. The movie concentrates more on the scenes dealing with Tom Robinsons case. The issue of r...

F Scott Fitzgerald Death Of Gatsby
926 wordsMany characters were responsible, in part, for the death of Jay Gatsby, the main character of The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, but each to his or her own degree. Tom Buchanan, a wealthy member of a socially solid old family, played a minor and relatively indirect role in the death of Gatsby.

Great Gatsby Fitzgerald Bad Person
830 wordsIn F. Scott Fitzgeralds novel, The Great Gatsby, the subject, Jay Gatsby, eludes extensive description of character. During the extent of the narrative the reader creates his own opinion of the individual. Fitzgerald intended this to create suspicion towards Gatsby. Despite the questionable characteristics, Fitzgerald did have reason for describing Gatsby as great. Such a reason is not clearly found on the surface, but more so on his driving spirit and determination. From the introduction of Gat...

Verbal And Dramatic Irony
758 wordsVerbal and Dramatic Irony The word irony came from Greek language and initially meant error dissembler. Irony actually means that in some way the appearance of things is different from what they are in reality in terms of action, situation or meaning. That is quite unusual when there is a gap between what is said and what is meant, and that would represent verbal irony. Dramatic irony shows the difference between what is thought about a situation and reality. We can point out verbal irony when s...

However, there is a fine line between what many of us think is the American Dream, and what Fitzgerald thinks is the American Dream. One must be able to differentiate between Gatsby's ideal...
