Lynn, David H. “Creating a Creator.” Readings on The Great Gatsby. Ed. Katie de Koster, 154-62. San Diego: Greenhaven Press, 1998. Print Author David H. Lynn argues that the distinction between character and personality suggested from the earliest pages of “The Great Gatsby” reveals just how fully responsible Nick is for his creation of Gatsby, the romantic hero. He claims that Nick fleshes Gatsby onto a skeleton of public gestures as this is someone whose essential romantic hopefulness is expressed in his behavior. Fitzgerald’s audiences’ relation to Gatsby is mediated by Nick, so the perspective on Daisy is divided, with Gatsby performing as a narrator of her own magnificence, while Nick provides a less glorified account. Lynn says that although Gatsby's personality shows that he is honest in regards to his private intentions, readers must remember that the Gatsby being discussed is largely Nick’s creation. If there is curiosity about Gatsby's hidden nature, it is because Nick believes in the sympathetic understanding he has for Gatsby. Nick responds to Gatsby's extravagant parties with strangers, his flashy materiale, and immense egoism with imaginative sympathy because he believes these traits are born of a romantic hopefulness that he shares. From their first meeting, Nick translates Gatsby's gestures with authority, as if his response was directly resulting from Gatsby's intended effect. Lynn argues that Gatsby’s behavior is always at the fine line between the grand and yet absurd of dramatics, as well as the defiant public gesture often embodying that of the ideal self-image pursued by romantic heroes as they define themselves against the communal protocol. Gatsby's extravagance is given form and meaning only in Nick's imagination; he comes alive when Nick first glimpses the intensity of his dream through Gatsby’s wild, routinely gatherings. Lynn informs that both Nick's ambivalence towards Gatsby and the inevitable discord…

This article discusses preparing for a bike sharing program in the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee. It goes into depth by showing studies and surveys that were conducted on how people felt about the program as well as if they would use it and feel it as being safe. Not only do they have statistics from their city they have studies showing obesity rates at a national level as well. They go into explaining how physical activity not only cuts down on obesity rates but also helps to prevent many chronic diseases. Studies have also shown that biking has proven to have many psychological and physical benefits such as aiding in depression and cutting down on obesity. The bike sharing program runs about $75 a year and then depending on trips there can be extra mile fees which still makes the program out to be very cost efficient as well as convenient since they don’t have to have a place to store the bikes or worry about maintaining them. A study done by a group from the Netherlands shows that the benefits substantially outweigh the negatives associated with biking such as exposure to air pollution, injury and sun exposure. Towards the end of the article they finish up with the results of the study that was conducted focusing on the cost, convince, enjoy ability and estimated use of the program.…
