.... F. Scott Fitzgerald is able to portray the class and mood of not only the people, and their residency. A daisy most commonly consists of white pedals, adjoined by a yellow center (G156). Nick's first impression of Daisy is enhanced by the use of the color white to portray her innocence and purity. In comparison to the flower, the yellow center resembles the sun (G205). This suggests a brilliance or beauty about Daisy. Their spacious home is described as having shades of red, white, and cream, and overlooking the bay. This portrays them as a member of an elite upper class. Snobbishly commenting on his house, Tom states, "I've got a nice place here"(GG5). In the begi ....

The book starts with Elizer talking. “During the day I studied the Talmund, and at night I ran to the synagogue to weep over the destruction of the temple.” (page 1) Although he is young, he has already learned that he should be devoted to his religion. Once the Germans come and start taking over the city, the Jewish people of the city are forced to wear a yellow star (the Star of David) to distinguish them from the non-Jewish people in the city.

.... England would fight to Mistress or the Queen of Brobdingnag. His justifications to fight were simply because the enemy was weaker and they wanted more land. This shows Swift’s sympathy for Ireland at that time. Swift believed that politics and government were games. The “election” of “leaping and creeping” of the Lilliputians was the basis of choosing their government officials. The government was ran with people that could go under or jump over a stick.

.... are continuously recognised for who they are through four factors: how they are dressed, their manners, how they speak and their money. It is however noticeable that a combination of all four factors is rarely to be found.

Nevertheless, when the maid opens the door to him she instantly percieves that he is a gentleman. So what really does make a lady or a gentleman? Many times during the play the ....

Latin class involves recitation, while chemistry involves memorization, and as long as the students can deliver what they have been told, they are successful in life. The new English teacher, Mr. Keating, challenges his students to think for themselves and to resist conformity. He most memorably illustrates how easily conformity affects people during his lesson involving a stroll in the courtyard. He instructs three of his pupils to walk around the courtyard. The three boys march in unison, and the remainder ....
