Upon finishing chapters one through three of The Great Gatsby, I have developed very strong opinions about every character I have encountered. Take the narrator Nick Carraway for example, personally I strongly despise this character in that he fails at his job as narrator by perhaps purposely leaving details of the encounter with Chester McKee at the end of chapter two. Now, yes, he does admit he was in fact drunk at the time of the altercation but why can he remember everything except for…

The French made an explanation that the very first vehicle was made in the 1860s, based on their point of view. Having the power go from the engine to the wheels was almost impossible back then,…

I am the youngest of eight kids, but I am an only child. My father had five children, three boys and two girls, with his first wife. His first wife, Billie, became a drug addict after they wed. I’ve heard many stories about the type of mother she was throughout the years, selfish and careless. My dad worked from dawn till dark, so the kids were left to fend for themselves; this is one of my father’s biggest regrets. Let’s call this side of my family the Lawrence side. My mother had two…

also a striking reflection of its era and what made it fall. Just like in the 1920s, one’s vehicle could be used as a general impression of one’s wealth. The vehicle of a middle class man is described as such: “the only car visible was a dust covered wreck of a Ford” (Fitzgerald, 26).
