On Lies My Teacher Told Me
1,053 wordsJames W. Loewen, in my opinion, makes a very valid argument in Lies My Teacher Told Me. He argues that teaching (of history) today relies too much on the textbooks which glorify the United States and its imperfect leaders and heroes. His examples, in fact, are very surprising to those most unfamiliar, or deceived, in their understanding of American History and are painfully obvious to those fairly educated in the events of our nations past. Personally, I agree with Loewen's statements and find h...

One reason for Wils...

1,107 wordsFrancis Scott Fitzgeralds novel, The Great Gatsby, is full of symbolism, which is portrayed by the houses and cars in an array of ways.

It is the ninth part of August Wilsons cycle of dramas, where he speaks about the struggle of black Americans against slavery.

Wilsons Garage Tom Buchanan
1,850 wordsWhen 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
3,251 wordsNICK 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.

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.

World War Ii League Of Nations
937 wordsHistory of the League of Nations- Through my studies and research I have come to the following conclusion about the League of Nations: despite all of President Woodrow Wilsons efforts, the League was doomed to fail.

From the day when Congress voted on the Fourteen Points, it was obvious that the League had a very slim chance of being passed in Congress, and without all of the World powers, the League had...
