    #8: “The stars were shining, and the leaves rustled in the woods ever so mournful; and I heard an owl, away off, who-whooing about somebody that was dead, and a dog crying about somebody that was going to die, and the wind was trying to whisper something to me, and I couldn’t make out what it was, and so it made the cold shivers run over me. Then away out in the woods I heard that kind of a sound that a ghost makes when it wants to tell about something that’s on its mind and can’t make itself understood, and so can’t rest easy in its grave, and has to go about that way every night grieving. I got so down hearted and scared I did wish I had some company” (13).…

    With the very few sentences he has used to describe Ackley, Holden already embeds an image of an unhygienic, disliked Ackley into the reader’s mind through imagery such as this. He later goes on to describe his actions, like cutting his nails, in detail to create more negative imagery of Ackley. Holden also describes events such as going to the movies with Brossard, Ackley, and other guys to illustrate the interactions of Ackley with other people which seem, to some extent, better than that of Holden with others.…

    The pear tree was a symbol in nature that shaped Janie’s character. The pear tree is a symbol of Jane’s blossoming love. It was first mentioned, in the spring when Janie was sixteen years old. “She saw a dust bearing bee sink into the sanctum of a bloom; the thousand sister-calyxes each to meet the love embrace and the ecstatic shiver of the tree from root to tiniest branch creaming in every blossom and frothing with delight. So this was marriage!” (Hurston 10-11) Janie’s her idea of love, life, and happiness revolves around the basic idea of the pear tree working in perfect harmony with nature. She cries, "Oh to be a pear tree--any tree in bloom!" (Hurston 11) In saying this Janie displays how desperately she wants the love and affection from a man that the tree receives from the bee with pollen. Janie connected the pear tree to each of her marriages. She had a horrible first marriage she described her husband by saying, “Logan Killicks was desecrating the pear tree." Logan made her realize that women should be treated with dignity and respect. (Hurston 13) In her second marriage with Jody, Janie is restricted and she Jody gets jealous when she’s around other men. This made her realize that a man should have faith in his wife and give her freedom to experience life. "Janie pulled back a long time because Jody did not represent sun-up and pollen and blooming trees." (Hurston 28) Her dream of the pear tree did not come until her third marriage with Tea Cake. By…

    The 1920’s was filled with new ideas and concepts, much of which was disenchanted. Wealth and prosperity were two words that came to mind when one thought of the 1920’s.

    What can be done in one and a half hours? Plenty. Since time is invaluable, no one would like to spend, at least, one and a half hour of a day with the uninspired movie. To prevent the unbeneficial loss of time, observing the critic’s feedback on a film is a useful method for avoiding this situation. The Great Gatsby, one of the interesting romantic-drama films of 2013, is based on the epic American classic novel, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The film typically received a positive response from the mainstream audience, however, it obtained the mixed interpretations, chiefly, unfavorable comments, from the film critics. Based on the movie reviews, “Gatsby Pizzazz from a Stylish Luhrmann,” written by Nadine Hancock for The Southland Times, “The Great Gatsby’ and the Great DiCaprio,” written by Randy Myers for The Mercury News, and “Fitzgerald’s Classic Gets Bogged Down by Unnecessary Glitz,” by Connie Ogle for miami.com, the critics pay particular attention to the film’s acting, music, and 3D element.…
