I’m one of the lucky ones. At least that’s what mother always used to tell me. I wonder what she would say now. Father had a different view on things. He demanded that I never leave the house and that the world know nothing of my existence. I didn’t sneak out of the house till age 13. Who knew that 3 years later I would be on my own? What about your wonderful loving parents, you ask? They’re gone now. “Executed for crimes against The City”. Drifting in the ashes that surround this hellhole I…

Political cartoons are frequently made by artists to express their frustration with certain issues, politicians, and sometimes even the public as a whole. What initially appears to be a simply humorous cartoon is actually so much more. In these two cartoons, two completely unrelated issues are addressed: the Flint water crisis and global warming. Yet, both topics are discussed by displaying criticism that natural disasters are frequently disregarded until one’s career is at stake and even then,…

highlight in this essay show how coaches have helped to develop character in athletes, how they pushed them to be the best on and off the field of play, and illustrate how they stepped into the lives of athletes and became so much more than just a coach.

The Rev. Pat Robertson made a very unfortunate pronouncement about the Haiti tragedy on this last Tuesday night. Here is what I think about: I am thankful God does not:1- Judge us as a human would do.2- Save us as a bulk processing3- Change his love towards us4- Delay His promise Despite what “Times magazine” web page says about his self-promotion on the prediction of events, I would like to say that many people, including himself, forgets about the moment we live in history. The measure of…

  "(...) Daisy, who was sitting frightened but graceful,  on the edge of a stiff chair."   Then there is Gatsby,  who is so conscious of his appearance,  that he almost knocks over the clock.  Again the reader is presented with evidence of nervousness and awkwardness,  as it is very common behaviour to be rather clumsy when one is unsure of ones self,  due to the presence of a person one is attracted to.  After this small incident Gatsby also…

“The Love of the Last Tycoon” written by F. Scott Fitzgerald should remain on the reading list for many reasons. The novel is written in two points of view, has a wide spectrum of characters, and has multiple different conflicts. The author wrote this story for an advanced reader, who is able to understand who is speaking,and keep track of the multiple events that go on simultaneously. The novel is very short, but in this case the saying “quality not quantity” comes into play. The book can also…

On the dustjacket on which Fitzgerald had insisted for Gatsby, a pair of sorrowing beautiful eyes, presiding above orgiastic neon, bears a foetus. And in this novel, high above the urgent, suave contestings, like an adult far removed from the fevers of sibling rivalry, a craved symbolic…

charges when it was obvious he committed the crime. Even today, people with money often get cleared of charges because rich people can afford lawyers and poor people often cannot. Another example of someone with money who got off the hook is in Scott Fitzgerald 's novel, The Great Gatsby, when Daisy runs over and kills Myrtle but does not get in any trouble because she has money. Having money provides stability and security. Working hard and making a lot of money is what the the American dream…

The True Story of Ella As she walked down the dirty path in the woods, she kept looking behind her, with a sense that she was being followed. The sky was dark with only the moon to guide her. The only sounds that could be heard were the soft hoots of an owl and the hints of music from the festival. The girl clutched her bag even tighter as she walked down the road. ***** When Ella was born, she was raised to be a wonderful child, who was kind and courageous. The day that Ella 's mother died…
