During the book The Tale of Two Cities , Charles Dickens presented us with many themes throughout the novel. I decided to incorporate the central themes Fate, History and Sacrifice, because those select themes stood out the most to me during this novel.

Early on in Martin Scorsese’s new film, Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) cheerfully describes money as being like “mainlining adrenaline.” Belfort, the real-life rogue trader who set up Long Island stockbroking film Stratton Oakmont, is depicted in the film as reckless, obnoxious, and sexist.
