    Growth and getting older is something that is as inevitable as death in this life. It is not up to us whether we will grow in age, but we can control how we embrace our lives and grow to develop a personality and a community as well.

    Gatsby Centered and Related Lana Del Ray’s soundtrack “Young and Beautiful” did not necessarily target the entire Gatsby as a whole, although it did strike a chord regarding the relationship between Jay and Daisy. However, when you put the song into perspective with the specific mentality of Daisy, it’s very ill-fitting and not suiting her character. “Young and Beautiful” could easily be labeled as an artistic success because of its rich, haunting tones, but whether or not it matches up with a critical analysis of Gatsby is debatable. A listener who deemed the track an artistic success in relation to the spirit of the book probably only watched the movie.…

    Fatherhood Movie Analysis

    • 7 Pages

    ANALYSIS These movies provided us with a clear fundamental message of fatherhood and the challenges that a father figure has to face in this world. From the beginning of time, no matter what your beliefs are regarding history, the male father figure has always displayed a trait of a "Provider" and "Protector". If we look at the history from a biblical perspective, we see the Prophets and the Messenger of God as a leading father figure in most biblical events. From the story of Abraham (Hazrat Ibrahim A.S.), when he had to face the most testing of tasks, which was to sacrifice his son, in that situation we see a deep love and the instinctual urge to keep his son safe. A Prophet is a man who never questions the commandment of God, yet in this case, Abraham was left in a state of worry, since he needed to fulfill his Lord's commandments, whilst his love for his son was also keeping him from taking such a step.…
