- 2791: Friends Cannot Be Objects (zen
- ... Sylvia and Chris with action-packed scenes that would also reveal 'inner meanings' of Zen and maybe Art and maybe even Motorcycle Maintenance.

- ... on his sword, and like them Hamlet dies by getting cut with a poison tipped sword. But that is not all that is needed to consider a play a tragedy, and sometimes a hero doesn't even need to die. Making Not every play in which a Hero dies is considered a tragedy. There are more elements needed to label a play one. Probably the most important element is an amount of free will. In every tragedy, the characters must displays some. If every action is controlled by a hero's destiny, then the hero's death can't be avoided, and in a tragedy the sad part is that it could. Hamlet's death could have been avoided many times.

- ... characters through various meetings and confrontations. Daisy Buchanan, Myrtle Wilson, and Jordan Baker have similar yet diverse personalities, as in shown through their interactions with other characters in The Great Gatsby. Daisy Buchanan, the narrator’s cousin, is a very insincere and fake person. When ever she speaks she exaggerates; some of her comments have no relevance to the conversation. For example, when Daisy has lunch with Nick Carraway she says, “‘I love to see you at my table, Nick. You remind me of a---rose, an absolute rose. Doesn’t he?’”(Fitzgerald 19). Daisy says this knowing that it may sound stupid, but she feels that all women should put on an act. Daisy makes a statement to Nick about when her daughter was born, “‘ She told me it was a girl, and so I turned my head away and wept. ‘All right’ I said, ‘I’ m glad it’s a girl.
