After the national anthem, the rodeo began. I…

The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, was written in 1925 but has been an American classic even today. But the question is why? What makes this book so relevant today? The problem is, people don’t think this novel should be taught in schools, and that it is too unrealistic and doesn’t teach the students anything.

Both one-act plays Antigone and Trifles are centralized by the themes of femininity and law vs. moral rights and beliefs. Antigone is a strong hard headed woman who stands up for what she believes is right, just as Mrs. Hale does in Trifles.
