.... of them displayed true love. Each wanted something from the other. Tom wanted the "possession" of Myrtle, Myrtle wanted Tom's "luxuries and wealth," and Daisy wanted Gatsby simply for his wealth. Both Tom and Daisy know of each other's affairs, but neither one truly cares. As the story progresses, it seems as though each of them is trying to make the other more jealous. Honesty and Love, two words know only by the faithful, George Wilson. George certainly had his flaws, but he loved his wife dearly and couldn't live without her. "He was his wife's man and not his own." When he became aware of Tom and Myrtle's affair, he was "really sick, pale as his own pale hair an ....

.... by the truth of their simple lives. To describe a life as simple, however, is not to belittle it. For Whitman nothing is petty or trivial because every part of life, be it a single leaf of grass, impacts and shapes the future. Experience and observation are then key to living life to the fullest. One must take full advantage of his/her life by fulfilling every instinct and learning a lesson from every blunder.

The Great Gatsby examines an American dream based around mater ....

.... leading to conflict. She also goes on to discuss the inferiority of ethnic groups leading to military servitude in order to advance their social or class status. One thing that she points out is that groups have also been stereotyped into being “prone to soldiering”. These people have been labeled as “Martial races.” An interesting point that she makes about Martial races is that they have traditionally been set on the regional peripheries of a state. This makes it seem as though the only reason for their being allowed to remain part of the state is to protect it from outside invaders. With this kind of covered seclusion breeds contempt, both from the main ....

.... lushly, but only in the tenements districts”. From what I understand the tree symbolizes Francie, and the book title means Francie (The tree) grows up in Brooklyn, simple enough? So as Betty Smith (The author) talks about the tree’s determination to grow no matter what odds are against it, she’s talking about Francie and her iron will to get an education and make things easier for her family. At the end of the book Francie is getting ready for some big occasion and she looks across the lot and sees herself 7 years ago when she was ten and still lugging junk to Carney’s for pennies. She calls out to the girl saying “Hello Francie!” and th ....

.... is shown through character evolution, my personal views and experiences in the real world and the source of evil itself. During the coarse of the story the characters do and say many things that reveal their inner devil. One of the characters that we see the most change in is Jack. By watching Jack we witness many acts of savagery. When Jack first starts to turn to a savage, was when he changed himself into someone different by putting paint on his face and acting like a wild animal. This is kind of like Jack's own way of initiating himself into a different person. Then after we see Jack as a different person, we see such acts as the death of Simon, the smeared blo ....

.... doing. I have found that the same problem written about in the book has also happened at my office. My supervisor was killing herself trying to get all of the work done when she should have been making the subordinates do their own work. This may require the subordinates to go through a training process or just motivate them to do the work they know is theirs. The supervisor must learn to give out work that is not theirs so that they have time to do supervisory functions. (p. 30) If they are busy doing everyone else's work who is going to do theirs. Once the supervisor puts the work back on the workers it belongs to she needs to make sure everything is going acco ....
