watch television at 30 to 33 months of age are predicted that they would have behavior problems later on in life (L.D. Rosen, Pew Research Center). There should be no screen time for children less than two years old and less than two hours/day of screen time for children 2 years and older (American Academy of Pediatrics). Experts suggest to limit screen time two hours before going to bed because using any kind of media limits the production of melatonin which is a hormone released when using technology, which can cause sleeping problems at night (Simon Jary, Pc Advisor). Limiting screen time for developing children is very important but statistics show the problem is only getting worse. A study in 2010 showed that even before the iphone became a household name around the world children already had access to 5 or more screens in a home (L.D. Rosen, Pew Research Center). By the age of 7 an average child will spend up to a full year of their lives watching recreational screen media (Henry J, Kaiser Family Foundation Study). During a child 's life children spend more time watching television then they spend in school and makes it harder for children to learn ( Dr. Aric Sigman, BBC News). A New Zealand study found that children exposed to excessive amounts of technology use from 5 to 15 years old had increased attention problems into their teenage years (L.D. Rosen, Pew Research Center). Technology affects students learning abilities and over the past few decades have been…

By definition, the meaning of a phony is an insincere, pretentious, or deceitful person. In the two novels, The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and The Catcher in the Rye, written by J.D. Salinger, both books revolve around a phony. In The Great Gatsby, the book is based on the phony life of James Gatz, more commonly known as Jay Gatsby.

Tom Buchanan and Jay Gatsby... perfect foils? By: Daniela Calderon In “The Great Gatsby,” written by Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Buchanan and Jay Gatsby are two characters that struggle with the idea of losing their shared love interest, Daisy. Tom and Gatsby’s attachment to Daisy is differently justified due to their contrasting views, personalities, attitudes, actions, backgrounds, and other factors, some of which they do share and concur in. Fitzgerald did a great thing here. He created two…

In The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald money, power, and the fulfillment of dreams is what the story’s about. On the surface the story is about love but underneath it is about the decay of society’s morals and how the American dream is a fantasy, only money and power matter.

People who…

Jay would stare into the green light on the Buchanan's dock endlessly while reaching for it. While Gatsby is reaching for this light, which represents the past when he was in a happy relationship with Daisy, he is unaware of the consequences that are created from his absent-minded choices that he takes to win back Daisy. For example Jay takes the blame for a murder, throws giant parties, gets involved in bootlegging, and most importantly becomes someone he isn't deep down all to impress a girl…

Mitchell’s argument is both convincing and intriguing. He supports it with evidence from both within the novel and without, utilizing important scenes and clinical analyses of narcissists. Not only is it believable, it explains Gatsby’s behavior throughout the entire novel. Mitchell has succeeded in his attempt to prove Jay Gatsby to be a pathological narcissist. Everything that Gatsby appreciated was nothing more than a mirror, even in the last moments of his life; Gatsby may have been…

E. “With 1500 of them out there converting 2 Chinamen apiece per annum against an uphill birthrate of 33,000 pagans per day, it will take upwards of a million years to make the conversions balance the output…” (Twain 4) This quote comes from Mark Twain’s essay entitled “The United States of Lyncherdom”; for Twain, a southern man, to write such a liberal essay at the time when lynching was popular is really quite a bold move. Unfortunately it was not published until after his death for he feared…

Reflective Response 890 I believe that Jay Gatsby and Othello’s inability to 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…
