Do you characterize yourself as Good Samaritan or a fake? The struggle of identifying a person as a true Good Samaritan or not will always be tricky. It is not possible to identify someone’s true intentions on a specific situation, or characterize a certain individual’s good acts as either being forced or actually beneficial to another individual.

associates Daisy with the color white, but to wear white is to be “an absolute little dream” (Schneider 2). Nick discovers white is a corrupt mixture of dream and reality (Schneider 3).

When Nick first sees Daisy, he notes they are “like silver idols weighing down their own white dresses…” [qtd in…

In “The Second Coming,” what does Yeats mean when he writes “The falcon cannot hear the falconer” (line 2)? How does this relate to “the centre cannot hold” (line 3)? In “The Second Coming” there is a footnote at the end of the first line explaining what Yeats envisioned for the word gyre.

In Sonnet 12, the narrator uses the color “white” to…

Color symbolism has an influential role in The Great Gatsby, as it has had in many literary works throughout history. It is used many times to give a deeper meaning to the story, and convey messages that the author doesn’t explicitly say. It is the responsibility of the reader to read closely, and try to find the deeper meaning in specific details of the story. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, a tale is told of Jay Gatsby. Jay is a new money business man, and is intent on trying…
