    It was a dark and confusing time, towards the end of the Civil War. The Union would soon find out how unprepared they were once the Reconstruction Phase started. There were many issues that needed to be handled, but the biggest one would be getting the Whites to accept African-Americans as citizens with rights. It was 1865, post-civil war, when Thomas Nast started to contribute to the views of public opinion through the use of his vivid political cartoons. Nast constructed three influential cartoons that helped change the views of Americans. He attempts to sway public opinion by depicting his characters as either good or bad figures, portrays the injustice Northerners and African-Americans faced, and mocks the conducts of the Confederates. Nast’s cartoons were extremely powerful; they allowed viewers to understand the problems that the nation was facing at the time…

    Tom Buchanan plays a large role in the great Gatsby and is greatly representative of the rich “old money” part of society, and, in many ways what was wrong with it. F. Scott Fitzgerald may have made Tom a villain because of their rejection of him in his earlier life. Fitzgerald has used Tom in The Great Gatsby, to demonstrate the power that men had during the 1920s. In order to understand Tom's purpose in the book, it must be known that he has been purposely set up as a character the reader does not like. Fitzgerald has done this, as he does not like men whose lives mirror Tom's. Tom is a violent man, who is completely in control of the women in his life. He shows how disrespectful some men were to women. For example, he breaks his mistress Myrtle's nose.…
