.... almost all of the things that a woman could want out of a marriage. She is very wealthy, she has a beautiful daughter, and her relationship with her husband is of a comfortable nature. It is true that her life is not very exciting, but it is unreasonable to think that she would trade all that she had in her marriage to Tom Buchanan for Jay Gatsby. At that time, divorce was very uncommon, and it was very unlikely that any woman would leave her husband for any reason at all. Everything that Gatsby ever did in his whole life was based upon his pursuit of the dream. He moved to New York and bought his very expensive mansion because of Daisy. Jordan Baker said, "Gatsby ....

.... lies with the U.S. government and its’ views of family structure. Society abhors welfare—hides from it—and hopes it will solve itself. Epstein quotes Bane and Ellwood (1994) in the book Welfare, Family Structure and Intergenerational Dependency, that shows the family breakdown and how it can dispel the governments’ ideas of reducing welfare to those in the greatest need. He quotes, “family dissolution and non-marital births account for a large amount of the reliance upon Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC)…forty-two percent of all new spells on AFDC are associated with an unmarried mother becoming a head of household.” (Epstein 111) To prove that ....

.... it. So at the end, Mr.Gatsby's dream still had not came true because Daisy did not break up with Tom and go with him. It can be seen in the last chapter on the novel, when Gatsby was murder, Daisy went to somewhere else with her husband, and did not go to Gatsby's funeral. I called up Daisy half and hour after we found him, called her instinctively and without hersitation. But she and Tom had gone away early that afternoon, and taken baggage with them. Therefore, Nike Carroway's analysis was right by these clear observation. However, Nike Carroway is a good narrator, he sees everything happen and does not trust everybody easily. ....

.... did he really achieve a goal by making this unbelievable trip around the world in an astonishing eighty days. Setting: This novel takes place in the late 1800’s, approximately 1872. Mr. Phileas Fogg lived at No. 7, Saville Row, Burlington Gardens. As the story progresses on and one tiny wager is made, a trip around the world changes the setting of this novel many a times. Some of these settings are London, Suez, Bombay, Calcutta, Hong Kong, Yokohama, San Francisco, and New York. Clearly though one the most important settings was in the Indian forests, which were passed through, in order to pursue to Kandallah.

.... His idea's and actions all start to change. He becomes very genuine. Sometime after the party, Nick says "I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby's house I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited."

Another time that Nick shows his development into a more genuine person is when he helps rekindle the love between Jay Gatsby and Daisy. He does this by setting up a surprise meeting at his house. Gatsby knew of this because he had asked him to do it. At this time in ....

.... could be considered to be in quite an enviable position by many women, both yesteryear and presently, she doesn’t always seem to enjoy being courted by her numerous suitors. Most importantly, though, Bathsheba’s character grows and evolves because of, or in spite of, the situations she encounters and eventually overcomes throughout her romantic escapades. Initially, Bathsheba’s character was high-spirited, feminine, naïve and self-centered. This is the first impression she gives Gabriel Oak, who eventually becomes a suitor, when she encounters him at the beginning of the story. The first time Gabriel laid eyes on Bathsheba, she was gazing admiringly at her own ref ....

(pg. 27) Holden had an inferiority complex. He was afraid of not having any special talents or abilities and used other methods to make him out to be a rough tough boy. "Boy, I sat at that goddam bar till around one o'clock or so, getting drunk as a bastard. I could hardly see straight." (pg. 150) Holden tried all he could to fit in. He drank, cursed and criticized life in general to make it seem he was very knowing of these habits. I myself have found me doing this at times, also. I, at times, feel the ....
