but mostly just emotional. His use of adverbs is meant to evoke certain things in your mind, and also be extremely descriptive. His works also have a dramatic use of verbs, Fitzgerald also seems to use long, narrative sentences, especially in “The Great Gatsby," But while they are long they just add another sense of depth to the story without any more complexity. His sentences also see to start with one idea and end up a totally different one, but while they seem to be just random ranting,…

sense. Many passenger railways share tracks with freight trains, leading to major delays (The Economist). However, in major cities, light rails are becoming more popular. The claim that Americans aren’t interested in getting better at mobility is just plain false. More money than ever is being spent on public transit, airlines are saving in fuel costs, and trains are being implemented where it makes financial sense…
