Enchanted

1. Fitzgerald depicts Gatsby’s celebrations as theatrical events by there being an orchestra, “admission tickets” and props. “By seven o’clock the orchestra has arrived;” this is overdone as it is just a party and there is no need to bring an entire orchestra for it. Also, there are people that are “paying” to enter the event and usually events are free and one does not need to pay for a party but “People come for the party with a simplicity of heart that was its own admission ticket.” Finally,…

dove-white mountains that soared into the clear blue sky, trapping the glimmering sun behind them. Lying in a great line like the spine of the land. As if they were giants that roamed the land, only to lie down and never get up again. Falling into an enchanted sleep, perhaps their humanities still remain. The range was high to the west and low to the east, curling around a magnificent lake, and hypnotizing woodland that stretched from one side to the other. As you walked closer it looked like a…

Within the book entitled, “The Great Gatsby,” Nick, who is the narrator of the story throughout the entirety of the story, is reflecting upon a couple of the most tragic years of his life. However, the author for this book is none other than F. Scott Fitzgerald who was a well-known author and was a major literary voice. His primary occasion for developing this piece of literature was due to the political and social changes in early 1920s. Fitzgerald directed this passage toward the people who…

the Duke of Athens and if any citizen has any sort of dilemma, they would feel obliged to go to Theseus. In the 5th and final act of Shakespeare’s play, Theseus goes on a poetic rant on how the main characters of the play are exaggerating on their enchanted night, and how he sees poetry and love to be foolish. Theseus’ speech is appropriate to him in the way that his character is the pure embodiment of rationality. (Shakespeare 5.1.2-22) Thus, he tries to reason and challenge many of the things…

The Dead by James Joyce exhibits the particular character of Gabriel as the primary character of the article. Gabriel is a person who is in his last phases of life and expects demise at any moment. He no longer feels the same about living, and it is appeared, however the perspective and the symbolism used. One of the principal artistic gadgets used is the perspective which the article is exhibited: third-individual. For example, the storyteller describes the occasions encompassing just…

According to the article, Allan Miller says that a story will never become viral unless it meets a "different , stricter set of standards". I infer that knowing what the source and information verified is like a key to an enchanted door. Nevertheless, if an author does not include both sides(the "ups" and "downs"), it is a persuasive article. If one article is a judgment article and the other includes both sides, the news is not "created equal". I have read several articles…

communities when Google and Youtube did not exist. People learned through what they heard, which made oral storytelling the best method of assimilation for them. They learned of the great wars fought by their ancestors, the bloodshed and carnage. They sat enchanted by tales of forbidden love, heartbreaking and raw. Little by little they listened and little by little they absorbed so much knowledge of the world they lived in, so many lessons, so much wisdom inherited from history. Storytelling is…

princess was not a title, but rather a fairly unoccupied career path. I wanted to be an unabashed social climber. This all seemed so very reasonable, since they all seemed to have to work hard at being kind to local villagers, animals, and inexplicably enchanted objects to achieve their goal of being promoted to nobility. Or rather, they had to do all of this to remain in power. Never were they asked to write down their goals, or to visualize what they wanted. They never had to consider how to…
