the great gatsby- who is Dr. T.J. Eckleburg?
414888
"The eyes of Dr. T. J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic-their retinas are one yard high. They look out of no face but, instead, from a pair of enormous yellow spectacles which pass over a nonexistent nose" This description shows the blue and innocence of God's eyes. \nbillboard. The God that watched the residents of the area was a good judge of character and had the ability to discipline those without proper values. Some of these characters soon discovered that living with the effects of these penalties may just be worse than dying as a result of them.

If you are talking about the Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway is made the narrator because he is a reliable one. He tells us that he reserves all his judgments, therefore, the reader can believe what he is saying is coming from an objective point of view.\n\nSo why is this in the swimming and diving section?

excellent book, I would suggest doing your own homework. But if you are just looking for some ideas to get you going then i can help. Have you actually read the novel?\n\nRalph\n\nRalph is the athletic, charismatic protagonist of Lord of the Flies. Elected the leader of the boys at the beginning of the novel, Ralph is the primary representative of order, civilization, and productive leadership in the novel. While most of the other boys initially are concerned with playing, having fun, and avoiding work, Ralph sets about building huts and thinking of ways to maximize their chances of being rescued. For this reason, Ralph’s power and influence over the other boys are secure at the beginning of the novel. However, as the group gradually succumbs to savage instincts over the course of the novel, Ralph’s position declines precipitously while Jack’s rises. Eventually, most of the boys except Piggy leave Ralph’s group for Jack’s, and Ralph is left alone to be hunted by Jack’s tribe. Ralph’s commitment to civilization and morality is strong, and his main wish is to be rescued and returned to the society of adults. In a sense, this strength gives Ralph a moral victory at the end of the novel, when he casts the Lord of the Flies to the ground and takes up the stake it is impaled on to defend himself against Jack’s hunters.\nIn the earlier parts of the novel, Ralph is unable to understand why the other boys would give in to base instincts of bloodlust and barbarism. The sight of the hunters chanting and dancing is baffling and distasteful to him. As the novel progresses, however, Ralph, like Simon, comes to understand that savagery exists within all the boys. Ralph remains determined not to let this savagery -overwhelm him, and only briefly does he consider joining Jack’s tribe in order to save himself. When Ralph hunts a boar for the first time, however, he experiences the exhilaration and thrill of bloodlust and violence. When he attends Jack’s feast, he is swept away by the frenzy, dances on the edge of the group, and participates in the killing of Simon. This firsthand knowledge of the evil that exists within him, as within all human beings, is tragic for Ralph, and it plunges him into listless despair for a time. But this knowledge also enables him to cast down the Lord of the Flies at the end of the novel. Ralph’s story ends semi-tragically: although he is rescued and returned to civilization, when he sees the naval officer, he weeps with the burden of his new knowledge about the human capacity for evil.\n\nJack\n\nThe strong-willed, egomaniacal Jack is the novel’s primary representative of the instinct of savagery, violence, and the desire for power—in short, the antithesis of Ralph. From the beginning of the novel, Jack desires power above all other things. He is furious when he loses the election to Ralph and continually pushes the boundaries of his subordinate role in the group. Early on, Jack retains the sense of moral propriety and behavior that society instilled in him—in fact, in school, he was the leader of the choirboys. The first time he encounters a pig, he is unable to kill it. But Jack soon becomes obsessed with hunting and devotes himself to the task, painting his face like a barbarian and giving himself over to bloodlust. The more savage Jack becomes, the more he is able to control the rest of the group. Indeed, apart from Ralph, Simon, and Piggy, the group largely follows Jack in casting off moral restraint and embracing violence and savagery. Jack’s love of authority and violence are intimately connected, as both enable him to feel powerful and exalted. By the end of the novel, Jack has learned to use the boys’ fear of the beast to control their behavior—a reminder of how religion and superstition can be manipulated as instruments of power.

Hi Frd_ngo!\nI've heard about the Dr. Edward Wiley. He's a good family man but has a bad habit at the race track. He welshed on a loan so, some goons had to be sent out to collect a payment. When the good doctor couldn't cough it up, they had to tie his fingers together in a most unpleasant way.\nMy girlfriend was unfortunate to be in the waiting room thumbing through the Ladies Home Journal when she had to witness the unfortunate events. I don't know if Dr. Edward Wiley is still practicing medicine or not.\nMason

Well daisy liked gatsby before she married her current husband.  she married her current husband becasue i think gatsby went to war or something.  and then gatsby came back and tried to show off his wealth to daisy so she would fall in love with him.  i think the principal attraction to him  is that he is an  old flame and her now current marraige is falling   apart so gatsby is a shoulder to lean on.

First of all, this is well written.  You have a strong thesis, and you keep that thesis throughout the essay.  Well done. There are just a few grammatical errors here and there.  \n\nSecond paragraph after "American dream" should be a semi-colon.  Hyphens are not generally used as punctuation in a formal essay.  "and to still be able to have a family"  is very choppy, consider "and still have a family" or something of the like.  In an essay regarding literature, you don't need to say "was shown" when referencing the book.  You can simply say "Gatsby had no friends, no one attended his funeral."  Try to avoid contractions like "didn't" "couldn't" "shouldn't" etc...spell them out "did not" "could not" "should not".  \n\n"Gatsby was very ambitious, as you can see..."  Essay's avoid second person you.  You can either leave that out all together, or you could say "the reader is aware that gatsby was very ambitious."  "Gatsby was trying to relive the past, but obviously that wasn't happening."  This falls under the second person you.  Consider "Gatsby was trying to relive the past, but the past was not going to happen again for him." or something along those lines. \n\nTry to avoid passive verbs/passive voice sentences.  Instead of "It was Daisy that ran over Myrtle" consider "Daisy ran over Myrtle."  It tightens your sentence and makes your point much clearer.\n\nInstead of "as you can see, Daisy inadvertantly lead to Gatsby's death."  you could say simply "Daisy's actions inadvertantly lead to Gatsby's death."  Also, in this section, the tense shift is a bit odd.  Instead of "Gatsby would never aquire the American Dream" consider "Gastby never aquired (aquires, whichever you prefer) the American Dream." \n\n"In this way Gatsby is a tragic hero. He went about it all with the best of intentions, but that was what led to his death in the end. That is what a tragic hero is. He or she has good intentions, but in the end, those intentions lead to his or her death."  This section is repetitious.  Your point is very clear, and concludes your thesis, but try something like "By the end of the novel, Gatsby symbolizes the very definition of a tragic hero.  He acts with the best of intentions.  Those good intentions ultimately lead to his death."\n\nAs I said, over all a very well written essay.  Most of the things I have suggested you change are simply to tighten your essay.  As I said, try to avoid the second person 'you' and contractions (don't, couldn't) in your essay.  Hopefully this has helped.  If you have anymore questions, or want to tell me to shove it that you don't need my suggestions ;) feel free to e-mail me. \nimhalf_the_sourgirl_iused_tobe\n@yahoo.com

No you dont need to do the whole "text text" (citation). Thing, but I think you do need to put the parenthesis after it. At least thats how I do it, so heres an example. \n\nIn the novel The Great Gatsby (title should be underlined), Jay Gatsby believed in the death of the american dream (Fizgerald 34).  \n\ngo check the source below. \n\nIm pretty sure that's how you go about doing it, but then again, could be wrong..\nHope this was helpfull!

The main theme of "The Great Gatsby" is the rise and fall of the American Dream. Look to the passage of the Dutch Settlers in the end of the book as an analogy of hope for a new start in America and then look to examples of how the main characters fail through their excess and misdeeds as to why the "Dream" falls.\n\nRacism is also a minor theme discussed through the book.

Fitzgerald's description of Tom Buchanan's colossal house signifies Tom and his values. The red and white colors of the Buchanan's mansion represent Tom's personality. Red customarily exemplifies impurity and boldness, while white signifies Tom's superior attitude towards other individuals. His "red" disposition is presented by the audacity of his exposed affair with Myrtle and his "white" character is portrayed through his racist comments throughout the book. A Georgian Colonial mansion signifies Tom's racist personality due to the past history of the Southern states prejudices against African-Americans. Fitzgerald's diction of "Colonial" also expresses that Tom is old-money and was raised from a prep-school background, which alludes the reader that he is not a very open-minded character, but relies more heavily upon literary knowledge. The house is distinctly a portrayal of Tom and his bold, egotistical, racist, scholarly manner.\n\nFinally, near the books conclusion, Fitzgerald hints at his thesis with Nick's description on page 141 when Jordan, Tom and he returned from the city: "The Buchanan's house floated suddenly toward us through the dark..." Tom's facilitation of Mr. Wilson's murdering of Gatsby followed by Mr. Wilson killing himself was a post-climatic climax. This end finally made us realize the definite evil of the "Tom Buchanans" and feel wrenched emotions on behalf of Gatsby, "the poor son-of-a-bitch." While Gatsby was perhaps corrupt, what he stood for (his dream) was absolutely immaculate and genuine.

Have you read The Great Gatsby? Jay Gatsby (the character) would be great for that.   1920's and dealt with all the culture of the decade.\nOr choose another literature character from an era... like Catcher in the Rye, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Jane Austen,...
