.... Jim Gatz and Jay Gatsby were two different people. It was also confusing figuring out the theme of this novel . At first I thought it was about wealthy people not being happy, but all the wealthy people were happy in sick ways. What I also found to be confusing was all the married couples and all of the mistresses. Everyone who was married seemed to be cheating with a dozen mistresses. This book was hard for me to understand. My other reason for not liking this book was because of its realistic theme. In the beginning Jay Gatsby was seeing Daisy until he was sent to war. When he left .....

.... is so lonely all the time. Holden finds things in common with Allie and James Castle and since they're both dead he feels, in the back of his mind, that he should also be dead which makes him depressed. Another example of a fall for Holden is when he realizes he can't erase even half the "fuck you's" in the world. This doesn't sound very important, but it is symbolic because he realizes that he can not be the catcher in the rye. His dream of shielding all the innocent children from society's harsh elements has been ruined by this one statement. Now because of this realization he comes t .....

.... line is not the story's main flaw. The biggest drawback here is a one-two punch of highly technical prose employed to relate a thoroughly dull story. Karen Randall, the daughter of an eminent physician, dies as the result of a botched abortion. Art Lee, a Chinese obstetrician, is accused of performing the D & C that has resulted in her death. Though Lee is known to be an abortionist, he vehemently denies any involvement in the case. Lee calls upon his friend, forensic pathologist John Berry, to clear his name.

.... were murdered, and (probably) no VC were in the area. I could go into detail about the killing. However, most of the book was devoted to the time before the massacre, and afterward. The officers and GIs of "Charlie Company" were introduced in the beginning of the book: the officers had been social outcasts all their life (LT. Calley & Medina). Both had decided to devote their life to the military. The GIs were selected for "Charlie Company" specifically because they had all scored too low on the initial exam to be put into a regular battalions. After the massacre, nothing wa .....

.... definition of tragedy should change, too." Changing ideas on the qualities of a "modern tragedy" means also changing the qualities of a "modern tragic hero".

Willy is intense and passionate and cares about his dream enough to sacrifice his life to it. He has alternatives, but he chooses to live in a certain way that brings about his downfall that is the difference between Willy and his salesman neighbour Charl .....

.... Iliad does just that. Homer’s use of language evokes the passion of his characters and their heartfelt emotions. The Iliad embodies action at it’s very onset, and although long in content, captures and to an extent , possesses it’s reader. I am sure that it is the style and meter, that Homer uses to convey his thoughts, that make the Iliad such a classic epic. Crawford pg. 3 In the opening lines of the Iliad, words of war capture the reader. Rage-Goddess, sing the rage of Peleus’ son Achilles, murderous, doomed, that cost the Achaeans countless losses, hurling down to the House of D .....
