- 1521: The Great Gatsby: Daisy's Love
- The Great Gatsby: Daisy's Love In F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, the character of Daisy Buchanan has many instances where her life and love of herself, money, and materialism come into play. Daisy is constantly portrayed as someone who is only happy when things are being given to her and circumstances are going as she has planned them. Because of this, Daisy seems to be the character that turns Fitzgerald's story from a tale of wayward love to a saga of unhappy lives. Fitzgerald portrays Daisy as a "doomed" character from the very beginning of the novel. She seems concerned only of her own ...
- 1522: Edgar Allen Poe
- ... Romantic imagination, dealing with the grotesque, the supernatural, and the horrifying. He defined the form of the American short story. As one might expect, Poe himself eschewed conventional morality, which he believed stems from man's attempts to dictate the purposes of God. Poe saw God more as process than purpose. He believed that moralists derive their beliefs, and thus, the resultant behavioral patterns, from a priori knowledge. In Eureka, we ... systems which, he professed, have no basis in reality. Yet Poe employed in his writing the diction of the moral tome, which causes confusion for readers immersed in this tradition. Daniel Hoffman reiterates Allan Tate's position that, aside from his atavistic employment of moral terminology, Poe writes as though "Christianity had never been invented." (Hoffman 171) Poe did offer to posterity one tale with a moral. Written in 1841 at the dawn of Poe's most creative period, Poe delivers to his readers a satirical spoof, a literary Bronx cheer to writers of moralistic fiction, and to critics who expressed disapprobation at finding no discernible moral in his works. ...
- 1523: Great Expectations. The Charac
- ... Estella: she has a cold personality but she is very pretty. Remember she was given to Miss Havisham at night which is when stars appear. Stella (without the first 'e') is the name of Sydney's beloved. Probably he gave his beloved this name because she was married in the real life and so, he could not reach her. Stars are far and they can not be reached by us. In GE Estella is presented as an impossible dream for Pip. In the same way Pip has expectations in a material level, Estella would be Pip's love expectation. In a Christian sense, the star is a quality applied to the Virgin Mary. Stars are used for orientation, to guide us when we are lost at night. We could say the Virgin Mary lights her sons in the night of sin. In the novel, Estella appears as a light, it is Pip's orientation and he always has her in his mind. If we look at the sky we can see different kinds of stars. One of them is a star which moves and shines in an ...
- 1524: On The Short Story Phineas Com
- ... with Phineas. "I had seen him at a distance around the school the previous winter, and gotten the impression he was bigger than I."(J. Knowles, 100) This quotation shows our first introduction with Gene's insecure character. One can see this because he immediately assumed Phineas to be "bigger than I,"(100) instead of waiting to meet him and then forming an opinion that maybe Phineas would be pleasant. His first impression of him was as a bully, therefore, we think that Gene is afraid of him, which would make him insecure. Another example of Gene's insecurity occurs just after Gene and Phineas meet. "That first day, standing in our comfortless room amid his clothes, he began to talk and I began to listen."(100) This quotation shows that Gene was ... insecure about his ideas and point of view. Throughout the story we also see Gene to be very envious of Phineas. An example of this occurs when Phineas and Gene were discussing sex. " I wasn't going to be opened up like that suitcase, to have him yank out all my thoughts and feelings and scatter them underfoot."(101) This quote shows how Gene was reluctant to tell his stories ...
- 1525: Japanese Capital Structure And
- ... the lack of independence and efficiency in decision making borne by Japanese managers seem to be the costs. The result for some firms has been a reduction in debt levels to those more resembling U.S. companies. The questions now have become: What is the optimal debt level for a Japanese firm? Should firms still be taking advantage of the benefits of their keiretsu relationship that have allowed them to take ... and conclude with the Mitsubishi capital structure/optimum debt level analysis. KEIRETSU AND THE JAPANESE CORPORATION Japanese corporations have outpaced rival firms in the US and Europe in terms of capital investment throughout the 1970 s and into the 1980 s. One of the main reasons behind the high level of investment is the better access to capital that Japanese firms have compared to their western counterparts-the result is that Japanese firms seem to ...

- ... and values of the director. These are also used to push across themes. The values and attitudes that are strongly pushed across in this episode are Relationships, Law and order, gender and race and Men s health. A major relationship that is focused upon in this episode is the one between Dianne and Margaret, who is supposedly Dianne s lost mother. The fact that Margaret gave Dianne up for adoption at birth means that this reunion will be a very delicate one. The close up of Dianne in the car before she gets out ... tension.

By mixing up the dates we start to feel that something isn t quite right. While Margaret is talking about the hysterectomy and how there we complications we are being lead toward the attitude that doctors aren t always right nor are they Gods. In the shower ...

For instance, if one has lost a love to something other than death, he may simply discuss it with his friends ... the positive, happy side of life.

Hagar's life was completely devoted to Milkman, her cousin and lover. "He is my home in this world."
