F Scott Fitzgerald Fitzgerald Has Created
1,644 words

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 Nick's stance towards those
characters and the world he describes with those
of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 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 au...

equals punishment. You do the crime, and you do
the time. Once you have done the time, you have
paid your debt to society and justice has been
done. Because our society defines justice in this
manner, the victims of crimes often seek the most
severe possible punishment for their offenders.

by inoculation with Kipling's magic, said
Carrington. Though many of Kiplings works really
conveyed some authoritarian ideas, but he was a
great artist and much of his writings were still
sometimes rather misinterpreted. Only additional
knowledge of Kiplings life would allow the reader
deeply understand his stories, because inside them
he included just enough about the life to let a
reader understand them. Rudyard Joseph Kipling was

peculiar interaction between Zinaida and Volodiy.
Volodiy's behavior toward Zinaida is universal
expression of feelings of infatuation. Volodiy's
invisible expression of feelings toward Zinaida is

today. Race and gender were very important
characteristics that determined whether a person
had the opportunity to make money. The 1930 s were
