    Tom Buchanan is labelled as a hulking, hyper-masculine, and aggressive. The way Nick describes him, he seems to be “one of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterwards savours of anti-climax” (Fitzgerald 10). Tom is born into old money, and because of that, he is able to have many opportunities in life that benefited him such as his ability to go to Yale and receive such a high education. Also due to the fact that Tom had virtually no financial worries, he is able to live more of a carefree lifestyle that eventually led to his somewhat uncaring personality. While living nearly his entire life surrounded by those of similar upbringing, Tom has learned to be racist and proves it by even telling…

    Split like his identity, perhaps a self-fulfilled wish, two brain wavelengths occupied the ragged man. The descent into shame dampened any defenses Bruce would’ve had since the transformation lacked completion; however, his frantic mental state allowed his other half access to his side of the brain – leaving the physical form a human flux between the two borderline personalities. Rather than shield puny Banner in a cocoon of darkness, an inkling of green lingered ever so possessively; a lack of the human’s hysteria preventing him from succeeding entire control. Banner’s self-destructive thoughts came to no surprise, but if he didn’t want it, the stronger half would’ve gladly taken the role as the core personality.…

    I think Tennyson should not be mad because Brewster was just trying to help Tennyson out. Tennyson probably figured since he’s taking Brewster pain away, that Tennyson would not be mad. Because if Brewster helps out Tennyson, then Tennyson could get right back up from a fall or someone pushing him without feeling anything. Brewster was just trying to be nice and help out.…

    James Baldwin accomplished things when he wrote “Sonny’s Blues—not only is the story a memoir of the lives of African Americans in Harlem in the 1950’s but also a story about the struggles and decisions that affect family and brotherhood. Harlem, the setting, traps the African Americans who call it home; it traps them in a life of poverty, crime, and anger. Two brothers choose very different paths: the narrator becomes a respectable teacher whose goal is to assimilate into a white society, and the other is a jazz musician, a heroin addict, also hooked on a life of crime, who turns to music to find himself and connect to his community and heritage. Baldwin depicts the plight of African American men in the urban communities through such themes…
