Beavers. Together, both of these ladies create a successful business. Throughout the film we see both their daughters, Jessie and Peola, grow into beautiful women. The Imitation of Life is relevant to our class due to Bea and Delilah’s success after the Great Depression. The three literary devices best captured in Imitation of Life are the plot, characterization, and theme. The first literary device effectively used in Imitation of Life is the plot.

Furthermore, such combative action makes America appear more threatening to other countries. According to “balance of threat” realism, countries that view a great power as a threat have a much greater likelihood of engaging in balancing against that threat (Lecture/Waltz 2000). And even though no country currently occupies a position with which it could engage in hard balancing against the United States, other nations have already begun to use soft balancing techniques against the US. Soft…

face the truth lead to their tragic consequences, but in real life I believe it is not the case. The Great Gatsby and ‘Othello’ are both stories beautifully constructed by William Shakespeare and F. Scott Fitzgerald. I believe that the refusal to face the truth for Gatsby and Othello, was definitely an element used by the authors to construct them as tragic protagonists. Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby is an ambitious and hopeful character. He is the protagonist of the novel and he is…

The Great Gatsby written by Fitzgerald narrates the story that a rich and handsome man tried hard to achieve his dream and the woman he loved, but ended with death. The novel represents a materialist, corrupt and depraved society where people degenerated both materially and spiritually. This society was generally going down rather than went "from nothing to nothing" (p. 103). In this essay, why people of all classes would ended the same and how people lost morality will be stated. It will also…

Walter is constantly the one to bring the conflict to the scene, and if he simply listens to the opinion of wife, these matters would not get out of hand. As Walter’s disagreements with Ruth become habitual, their relationship slowly enervates. In Great Gatsby, Jay is seen revolving his whole self around Daisy, Walter simply cares for himself. Hansberry writes “I guess between two people there ain’t never as much understood as folks generally think there is. I mean like between me and you—”…

All the characters in The Great Gatsby have almost a non-existent relationship with nature. When one thinks of the colour green, they usually associate it with nature or the environment. For Gatsby, however, this is a symbol of his dream to have Daisy. When Tom and Daisy run away from East Egg, Gatsby realizes that “the colossal significance of the light has vanished forever.” He attaches all of his dreams, hopes and goals to this green light so much, that when it is suddenly gone, he is…

Particularly, the Great Depression had a great effect on John Steinbeck’s work showing his frustrations with freedom versus confinement, justice, and man vs. nature. To illustrate his dismay, Steinbeck uses the theme of freedom versus confinement to show how his main characters live…

after the completion of the daily farm routine. Even though each town set their own schedule, often communities, including Bradley, South Dakota, chose to remain open for business on both Wednesday and Saturday evenings. In the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression of the 1930s, South Dakota prairies thirsted for moisture, wetlands dried up, and months of toil in the fields yielded meager returns.

If you were an African-American during this time, you were even further from grasping any dream. With all the hardships and loneliness associated with the Great Depression, what was there left to dream for? During the Great Depression, John Steinbeck took the dream for a better life that many people…
