Number of words: 609 - Number of pages: 3.... such as the one of East Egg which he had observed the previous summer. He says that as a result of such an upbringing he is "inclined to reserve all judgements" about other people, but he then goes on to say "tolerance has a limit".
With Gatsby, Nick admits he makes an exception of judging.

To congratulate myself on the hope of relations whose condition in life is so decidedly beneath my own?" (Austen, 142-145). Unfortunately for Darcy, Elizabeth only gets slightly insulted.

She says, " From the very beginning, from the first moment, I may almost say, of my acquaintance with you, your manners impressi .....

Mr. Wiggins' relationship with his Aunt declined in this story, although it was never verystrong. His Aunt treated him like he should be a hog and alw .....

Roger And Me
Number of words: 413 - Number of pages: 2.... That couldn’t be any farther from the truth. I found myself drawn into the story that Michael presented. He used comedy to pick up some slower parts and good camera angles to keep my attention on the screen.

For example, the sheriff deputy was a main character the makes you realize the truth b .....
