Clouds

turns out that Daisy and Gatsby were once in love, when they lived in Louisville (a Midwestern town, thus a signal of integrity in the novel). They still have feelings for one another. Daisy whispers to Gatsby, “I’d like to just get one of those pink clouds and put you in it and push you around” (p. 95). This absurd image of romance and escapism speaks of childhood. However, it also carries a certain gravity. Compared to Tom Buchanan’s hard preoccupation with money, and Gatsby’s friend…

It is pouring rain and you are numb cold. Your face is grim. Thunder and lightning crack across the sky. Your hear a sound, louder than the thunder. A cannon flies through the air and with a thunderous sound, crashes down on the mud and dirt before you. You are safe, the walls of the earthworks you had helped build earlier are still holding together. You see another cannon fly through the air towards you, but the effect is no different. The walls are sturdy, they can be torn down by the cannons,…

The autumn breeze was cool against his skin as Steve walked through the numerous gravestones at Arlington. The grave stones were a light grey that looked less grim in the bright sunshine than they would have had it been a grey and dreary day.

The day didn’t have to be gloomy just because he was here to visit the graves of several of his old friends. Old friends that had passed on and left…

Flabbergasted, I stand in awe…Wow!…

I am going to talk about the first three sections not the whole book, since it is a long book and it jumps around so much it would take a lot longer to talk about. This book is a hybrid of fiction and drama. The first section of the book is “The Pacific Journal of Adam Ewing” it is a journal written in the mid 1800s by a sailor stuck on an island while the ship he was on gets repaired. The journal has a total of fifteen entries…
