The Grapes Of Success
.... did not have enough money to buy them. "And the failure hangs over the State like a great sorrow." Steinbeck further supports his thoughts with these chapters; he uses startling images of screaming pigs and dying children to help maintain that the migrants were not getting any chances to work for their living, maintain their dignity, eat enough to survive, or feel hope for the future. He is sending an direct plea straight to Washington D.C. for federal aid and attention for the migrants, and an i .....

The Grapes Of Wrath 6
.... stated "Someday we're gonna get all the
jack together and were gonna have a little house and a couple of acres an' a
cow and some pigs." (Roberts, 187). George's dream ran deeper than a love
for farming and independence. The motivation for this dream was not just a
product of the poor state of the country and widespread unemployment,
but it was a dream that could ensure a happy ending for Lennie. George is
anxious to secure his own place so that Lennie can live the type of life where
he c .....

The Great Gatsby
.... he then goes on to say "tolerance has a limit".
With Gatsby, Nick admits he makes an exception of judging. He is prepared to suspend both the moral code of his upbringing and the limit of his intolerance, because of Gatsby's "extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness". This is an exception that he will make for Gatsby and not anyone else in the novel. Nick overlooks Gatsbys bootlegging, and his association with Meyer Wolfshiem, the man Gatsby said fixed the world series in 1919. Yet he is co .....

The Great Gatsby 12
.... then later on his eyes represent God to a man who was wasted by society; a resident of the spiritless wasteland of society.
Yet another symbol in The Great Gatsby is the green light on the end of the Buchanan dock. This light represents hope and dreams to Gatsby. It represents his love for Daisy and his need for a companion, or in Nick's words, "He stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way....Involuntarily, I glanced seaward- and distinguished nothing except a single green light...th .....

The Great Gatsby 13
.... burst of melody from its three-noted horn. It was the first time he had called on me, though I had gone to two of his parties, mounted in his hydroplane, and … made frequent use of his beach” (Ch. 4, pg. 63-4). Nick was quite lonesome after his move to New York. He had a decent job in the bond business and lived in a small bungalow. Basically the only acquaintances he had were the Buchanans and Jordan Baker, to an extent. It is not human nature to live a desolate and lonely life; humans are so .....

The Great Gatsby 14
.... clearly shown when he hosts these immense parties that he creates to impress others but to mostly lure in Daisy so that he can meet her again and finally show off his social status to her. But before this could happen, Nick, Gatsby’s new neighbor and cousin of Daisy, meets Nick. As they began to talk, Gatsby starts to discuss portions of his past to Nick and he seems the need to shows proof to back up his claims. For example when Nick was with Gatsby in his car heading toward New York, Gatsby boasts .....

.... the blame for Myrtle's death. "Was Daisy driving?" "Yes. . . but of course I'll say I was." He also watches and protects Daisy as she returns home. "How long are you going to wait?" said Nick "All night if necessary." States Mr. Gatsby. Jay cannot accept that the past is gone and done with. Jay is sure that he can capture his dream with wealth and influence. He believes that he acted for a good beyond his personal interest and that should guarantee success.
Nick attempts to show Jay the folly of .....

The Great Gatsby 3
.... the past to the present. Is it healthy?
In this case, Fitzgerald is saying no its not healthy. He says it ruins a person and things change. Is Gatsby great? In some ways he is, you have to admire a man who lives his whole life devoting himself to his passion and never getting sidetracked. But you also have to realize that some things are foolish to live a dream upon, because nothing ever stays the same. Things change and when you reach a goal you realize it wasn't what you remember. Fitzgerald tac .....

The Great Gatsby A Goal Of Cor
.... a white supremacist. He feels that "the white race…will be utterly submerged" by the minorities (17). This is probably because he has no friends that are minorities and most if not all of his business associates are white. Tom has arrogance about him, an air of superiority, that he feels gives him control over those around him. Tom also takes great pride in the fact that Daisy is his wife, not only because she is beautiful, but also because she "is the most expensive item on the market" (Fetterly .....

The Great Gatsby And The Hollo
.... “I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from Nowhere make love to you wife.(137)” He doesn’t take into account that he has been doing the same thing with Myrtle and plenty of other ladies. Another hollow character in the novel is Daisy. Daisy portrays the conceited blonde woman who relies on wealth and good appearance to survive. Thus, she marries Tom and then later on wants to marry Gatsby due to his riches and appeal. However, she is also revolting and doesn&# .....

The Great Gatsby Ending
.... it just like the dream.
The grass was just as long and uncared for as Nick's symbolic that Gatsby's
dream was just as dead to him now as the dream had been dead to Nick. Both the grass and the dream were just as alive as they were dead in that though
Gatsby could no longer care for either one during his death, there would always
be someone else to carry on the dream, and a new resident in the house to cut
the grass.
"I spent my Saturday nights in New York because those gleaming, dazzli .....

The Great Gatsby Greed And Wea
.... out or these other races will have control of things.” Tom is the perfect example of the kind of amoral people described in the book. Greedy, ignorant and wealthy.
Myrtle Wilson is just the same. She is dishonest towards her husband and speaks highly of herself. But she is one over Tom because she takes him for granted. He is the one buying all of her clothes and beauty accessories. He even went as far as to buy her a dog. This doesn’t seem to bother Tom a bit though. At her party .....

The Great Gatsby, How Is It Re
.... the meaning of this mysterious act? Clearly, the meaning of it is he is awaiting the return of Daisy’s love.
Gatsby’s personal dream symbolizes the larger American dream in which we all have the opportunity to get what we want. Jay is convinced that Daisy still loves him, as this is shown when he takes the blame for Myrtle’s death and then watches and protects Daisy as she returns home. Jay cannot accept that the past is gone and done with. He is sure that he can capture his dream with .....

.... of Daisy as property not as a person, and does not think he needs to treat her well since she is his. Tom and Gatsby both share the trait of being dishonest; Tom shows this when he sends Wilson to kill Gatsby instead of telling him that it wasn’t Gatsby driving the car that it was Daisy, and Gatsby is dishonest in the way that he made his money and what he did to do what he was. Tom and Gatsby both had things in common and things that were different but I would say that they are more alike.

The Greeks Versus Their Gods I
.... tends to shy away from worshipping Aphrodite (10-16). This is important because it sets in motion the actions of the play when Aphrodite decides to get revenge on Hippolytus. The divine relationship between the gods is a bit different, however. Over the course of the play, Artemis does not interfere in the actions of Aphrodite, which shows that the gods, while divine, do have restrictions; in this case, it shows the gods cannot interfere with each other. (1328-1330) The gods are sometimes evil and revenge .....
