Huck And Jim Huckleberry Finn
897 words
Mark Twain's, Huckleberry Finn, although an
excellent book, has a very weak and unrealistic
ending. The two main characters, Huck and Jim are
turned into comic characters and the seriousness
of their journey down the river is lost. Twain
lets the ending destroy the plot of the book by
making it comic and unrelated to the episodes on
the raft. Leo Marx points out that the meaning of
Huck and Jims journey is lost. During their
journey, Huck and Jim develop a very close
relationship. Jim becomes li...

Daisy And Gatsby Jay Gatsby

F. Scott Fitzgerald Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald
was born on September 24, 1896, the only son of an
unsuccessful, aristocratic father and an
energetic, provincial mother. He was therefore the
product of two divergent traditions: his fathers
family, which included the author of the The
Star-Spangled Banner, after whom he was named. His
mothers family was, in contrast, typically
ambivalent American feelings about American life,

Miss Maudie Aunt Alex

The Maycomb ladies provide an excellent example of
racial prejudice, and a failure to see what it is
like in someone elses skin. They believe they are
doing well by making money for missions, failing
to see the hardship on their own doorsteps. Aunt
Alexandra is very important to the novel, To Kill
a Mockingbird, as she is a representative of these
viewpoints, disapproving of Calpurnia and
disassociating herself from the black community
entirely. Miss Maudie however is the counterpoint
to Aunt Al...

Grapes of Wrath, reveals mans indomitability and
endurance. Steinbeck potently suggests that there
is a distinct time in life where the choice must
be made to either sacrifice ones spirit, or to
stay true to ones self. In spite of their lack of
food and without having a direct promise of a
stable job, the Joad family perceptibly allow
their spirit to lead them to obtain their
individual goals. Evidently, the theme of
spiritual survival ultimately...

Harriet Beecher Stowe Uncle Toms Cabin

Harriet Beecher Stowe expressed a need to awaken
sympathy and feeling for the African race in the

Wilsons Garage Tom Buchanan

When F. Scott Fitzgerald turns on the heat in
Gatsby, he amplifies a single detail into an
element of function and emphasis that transforms
neutral landscapes into oppressive prisms. Through
these prisms which distort and color the lives of
Fitzgeralds characters, we see why humans
elation's are, as Nick Carraway describes them,
short winded (Gatsby 2). Heat is the antithesis of
Jay Gatsby. It is symptomatic of his undoing, his
nemesis. As he suited up in his cool demeanor time
and time again, p...

Fitzgerald Has Created Wilsons Garage

NICK CARRAWAY has a special place in this novel.
He is not just one character among several, it is
through his eyes and ears that we form our
opinions of the other characters. Often, readers
of this novel confuse Nicks stance towards those
characters and the world he describes with those
of F. Scott Fitzgeralds because the fictional
world he has created closely resembles the world
he himself experienced. But not every narrator is
the voice of the author. Before considering the
gap between author...
