- 3185: Symbols in The Great Gatsby
- ... the same way that they have no real understanding that acts have consequences for which one has to be morally responsible. (Northman 24) This accident also has another meaning. It foreshadows Myrtles and Gatsby's death. The automobile, a symbol of wealth, serves as an instrument of death and destruction. This minor accident is also of special importance because it is related to the argument about “carelessness” between Nick and Jordan later in the chapter and because it foreshadows the accident that kills Myrtle. It is fitting that the automobile, the symbol of material wealth in America, should be the instrument that ultimately leads to Gatsby's death. (Northman 24) The moral values of the time, as Fitzgerald shows us, is greatly declined in the novel. Gatsby, although he treats Nick as a good friend, is only concerned with one thing. He ...

- 3187: Blue Hotel
- ... hotel, the reality is that "hell" turns out to be the red-lighted town saloon where the Swede is eventually murdered. Another recurring topic in Crane’s writing is the responsibility for a man’s death. For not acting upon his knowledge of Johnnie’s sin (his lying and cheating at the card game), the Easterner is portrayed as a betrayer, with guilt eating him inside. At the beginning, no one at the hotel would discuss fear or death with the Swede. Thus, in repentance on his part, the Easterner comments, "Every sin is the result of a collaboration" (Crane 1645). Indeed, in the end, the conspiracy of silence between the 5 men involved in the murder leads to a brutal result: The Swede "losses fear and gains death" (Solomon 257-258). A rhetorical question is left then for the reader to reflect upon, posed innocently by the Cowboy, "Well, I didn’t do anythin’, did I?" (Crane 1645). In conclusion, it can ...

- 3190: Big Game
- ... a bunch of college students are out having a good time whereas in "Big Game" middle-aged vacationers are trying to uncover their roots.
