.... car that “everybody had seen. It is a rich cream color with nickel and has a three-noted horn.” (64) It has a “monstrous length with triumphant hat-boxes, supper-boxes, tool-boxes, and terraced with a labyrinth of windshields and a green leather conservatory.” (64) Amidst Gatsby's possessions, he develops his personal self. His physical self appearance sets him apart form the other characters. His smile is the type “that comes across four or five times in life. One of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it.” (48) He has a collection of tailored shirts from England. They are des .....

.... the most influential part of a person’s life. Honoria wants to live with her father and can’t wait for the day when she will be able to. As she says, “Daddy, I want to come and live with you … I love you better than anybody. And you love me better than anybody, don’t you?”(1871). I don’t think it would be right to take away the only immediate family that Honoria has left. Everyone should have a sense of family and be able to interact with their immediate family. Charlie has removed himself from “Babylon” and become more of a real man. He has become more responsible, and now he is trying to prove himself to ev .....

.... structure where race becomes “common sense” (59), where we can comprehend and explain the relationships and workings of the world. This attempt to explain their definition of race, this racial project, leads to the claim that racism is complex and difficult to understand, starting first with the argument that racism is neither “biological” nor an “illusion”. It was in the 18th and 19th century that many scholars dedicated themselves to trying to identify and rank humankind. Back then, race was thought of as a biological concept, or in other words, a matter of species. People believed that superior races (which was t .....

.... the colchel. I ducked down, pushed between two men, and ran for the river, my head down. I tripped at the edge and went in with a splash" (Hemingway, 214). Henry witnessed the gruesome executions of the officers before him and knew he was not going to die without a fight to preserve his precious existence. Being a man of action rather than words, was the determining factor which helped him survive this unfortunate confrontation with death. Regardless of the circumstances, Henry used his authoritative position to make sure others did not engage in any threatening positions that could jeopardize the ir safety and the safety of o .....

.... first experiences of killing the enemy-soldiers headquarters had handed down to him. He described them as "delicate assignments". The first time, he said he threw up. The second, he was ill for days, the third, drank a bottle of alcohol, the fourth, a few glasses of beer, the 5th he joked about it, and finally the sixth, remorse, for it was Gregory fe killed. As you can see, he was slowly desensitized to his job. That is, he comfortably adapted to it and as he eliminated each of the five soldiers before Gregory, the intensity of his honor towards headquarters had increased. We can assume this based on the fact that he carried out h .....

.... Gregor, transform into an insect in the story. Nobody wants to associate themselves with an insect, which is a lowly creature, a pest, or nuisance. This symbolizes Kafka’s depression and his poor self image. Since his family treats the insect like an outcast, that must be how Franz felt about the treatment that his own family gave him. It showed the control that his father put on him. He was not allowed to leave his room. Gregor’s parents were so afraid to take him out of the house, because he was the family secret, and they thought that would bring shame and ruin the family. Gregor’s becoming an insect symbolizes .....

.... may have been because of Jem acquiring a mask. He began wearing this mask around the start of his teenage years, as a result of pressures from peers, and a fear of not being accepted. Even in these different social and economic times, the 1930's, issues like popularity and social acceptance were real and present, just as they are today.It is true that many teenagers today face challanges of where to place their emotions and how strong they should be, a predicament Jem was obviously faced with. Jem was afraid of not being accepted if he accepted his sister, consequently, he wore a mask to project feelings of discontentment with .....

.... On the right side of the painting, the scene has morphed into a more idyllic and classical scene, in which the kneeling Narcissus has become the statue of a hand, holding a cracked egg, from which emerges The Narcissus flower. This painting reminded me of the first chapter of Metamorphosis, where the main character, Gregor Samsa, first realizes that he is confronted with a ludicrous fate in the form of a gigantic insect. In both Kafka's and Dali's work, I noticed that they both implement a certain "receding" technique. Dali tends to put an object (In this case, Narcissus) In the foreground, and the background of the painting .....

.... not, in plain terms, from this time forth have you so slander any moment leisure as to give words or talk with the Lord Hamlet. Look to’t, I charge you. Come your ways." (I.iii.132-35). It is clear that here Polonius is making decisions for his daughter, regardless if she really loves Hamlet or not. She feels very unimportant and helpless now, and because of this develops a lack of emotional confidence and strength. All she can reply is "I do not, my lord, what I should think." (I.iii.104). She is used to relying on her father’s direction and has been brought up to be very obedient. As well, her brother Laertes a .....

.... gets up himself and turns it off himself. When Stanley’s friend, Mitch, drops out of the game to talk to Blanche, Stanley gets upset and he even gets more upset when Blanche flicks on the radio. Due to the music being on, Stanley, in a rage, stalks in the room and grabs the radio and throws it out the window. His friends immediately jump up, and then they drag him to the shower to try to sober him up. This is the first example of Stanley’s rage and brutality. Not only does throwing the radio out the window represent an impure demeanor, but so does beating your wife. During his entire rage durin .....
