In This Moment

what it is about. The Skin of Our Teeth by Thornton Wilder is a play that takes part in three acts. It follows the Antrobus family and their maid as they fight to survive each new disaster by, as the title suggests, the skin of their teeth. However, this is not all the show has to offer. Alongside the main plot another small story arises. The audience follows not only the characters but the actors as well. On occasion, the maid of the family, Sabina, breaks character to become her own self as an…

understand his motive for self-improvement. The description made me sympathize with Gatsby past and appreciate his journey to success despite it being morally wrong. Provided that I was placed in his shoes, I too would do the same exact thing that he did. This demonstrates Gatsby character traits of hard work and dedication. Chapter 6 shows the reality of life: “You can’t repeat the past,” but of course Gatsby fails to realize that; he continues to be persistent which is a character trait that I…

and rescued her from a husband who apparently neglected her. But after he got punched, he brood over the opposite scenario; that he was the villain and Marjorie's husband was the hero instead, “The situation had miraculously and entirely changed—a moment before Samuel had seemed to himself heroic; now he seemed the cad, the outsider, and Marjorie's husband, silhouetted against the lights of the little house, the eternal heroic figure, the defender of his home.” The fourth and final “fist” taught…

5.1 Yellow is the color of gold and stands for wealth Yellow is the color of gold not only stands for money, status and power, but also greed, lust and fall. In the novel, Fitzgerald used yellow to represent mammonish and decadent life of the American upper class. In The Great Gatsby, Daisy was known as “golden girls”, Jordan had yellow hair like withered leaves and Gatsby tied golden tie. To win Daisy, Gatsby always shows off his wealth. He held various parties in his villa frequently. And…

He just said how he felt and he didn’t pause or say um at all. This proves that he is chill because…

dreams; for a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder. And as I sat there brooding on the old, unknown world, I thought of Gatsby’s wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have…

happen when he is out for lunch with Nick. Could this revelation be the part of Gatsby’s dream Nick was talking about in chapter 1? As Nick begins to talk more with Gatsby, he starts to believe that Gatsby isn’t as interesting as everyone makes him, due to the lack of conversations Gatsby has with him. This makes Gatsby appear as a reserved person who doesn’t want anyone to know about him, or is Gatsby afraid of people finding more about him? This makes me wonder what Gatsby has to hide.…

society where statements like this are propagated has resulted in a shockingly docile population. In other words, there is a disgustingly large amount of people who just don’t care. When something is wrong, people do not say anything for fear of being judged or getting in trouble. When all the facts do not add up, people turn a blind eye. The list could go on and on, but the point is, this kind of behavior is unacceptable, and people should learn to speak up. I learned this lesson the hard way.…
