effects would be ones applied to music. They function in advancing the narrative because they help progress the scene. For example, as Mr. Bean hits the road with Sabine and Stepan, and we get to the bridge in Cannes, beautiful instrumental music starts fading in. The music fades out as soon a shot of the whole bridge for ten seconds goes away and transitions into the next scene.

Tom Buchanan. Gatsby’s means to this end – his monstrously ornate mansion, weekly lavish parties, Rolls-Royce and pink suit - make him a perpetrator of avarice. Once Gatsby’s dream of Daisy fades away –similar to the iconic representation of the fading green light on the dock- so does the “driving forth” of Gatsby’s money. His dream of her disintegrates, much like the American Dream that was prominent in the 1920s. Thus, Fitzgerald portrays that not only Gatsby is guilty of this thirst for…

is the protocol model in which two nodes can communicate with each other iff they locate in each other’s communication range Rc. Further, in order to capture other disruptive physical characteristics of the wireless channel (e.g., the multiple path fading, and the interference, etc.) rather than only the diminishing effect of the transmission distance, the authors in [Gupta and Kumar 2000] modeled wireless channels incorporating these effects and called the model as…
