Hero In Hemingways Writing
Number of words: 384 | Number of pages: 2.... all of his friends eating at a restaurant and thinks to himself that he is too far behind to catch up. Jake always seems behind, or at least only a marginal player put so in his position because of his injury.

Marvell’s “To His Coy Mistress
Number of words: 927 | Number of pages: 4.... CC, etc., couplet pattern. A few of the lines are irregular however. Lines 23 and 24 rhyme “lie” with “eternity,” and lines 27 and 28 rhyme “try” with “virginity.” It is interesting to not that lie rhymes with try, just as eternity rhymes with virginity.

prolong virginity, and it would b .....

Number of words: 1109 | Number of pages: 5.... of telling the story about several characters.
He admits early into the story that he makes an exception of judging Gatsby, for whom he is prepared to suspend both the moral code of his upbringing and the limit of intolerance, because Gatsby had an "extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness.” This inspired him to a level of friendship and loyalty that Nick seems unprepared to extend towards others in the novel. Nick overlooks the moral implications of Gatsby's bootlegging, his association with speakeasies, and with Meyer Wolfsheim, the man rumored to have fixed the World Series in 1919. Yet, he is contemptuous of Jord .....

Hamlet: Father And Sons
Number of words: 802 | Number of pages: 3.... king, a god-like figure and a loving husband. It is strange that the Prince did not convey information about being a loving father.

Prince Hamlet changed after the death of his father. He is grief stricken certainly, but also he pretends to be getting increasingly insane to divert suspicion from his real purpose of avenging his father's death by killing his murderous uncle. He appears melancholy, and wore dark clothes to fit the mood. He had a wild .....
