A Short Story Of The Movie ' The Great Gatsby ' By F. Scott L. S

Due to the difference in Taylor’s children’s behaviors, her parenting skills would have been divergent as well. In Arizona, Taylor had to move at a much slower pace with Turtle because of the trepidation she was filled with from her previous home life. After months of being together, three-year-old Turtle finally utters her first word to Taylor “‘Bean,’ Turtle said. ‘Humbean’” (Kingsolver 97). This reveals how much more effort it took Taylor to reach out to her daughter. In Arizona she had a much more abrupt maturing into a woman and mother than if she had stayed in her hometown. Taylor had to grow up significantly faster than if she had gone through the process of pregnancy in Pittman. There, Taylor would be able to become more mentally and physically prepared for being a mother.

With Taylor walking into the footsteps of motherhood she has examples to help her with like Esperanza and Lou Ann. As Taylor first takes Turtle an bath she realize on Turtle being “a girl, poor thing. That fact had already burdened her short

In the beginning of the story we see that Taylor is an average teenage girl living with a single mother. She says, “But I stayed in school. I was not the smartest or even particularly outstanding but I was there and staying out of trouble” (3). She was called “Missy” for a lot of her childhood

On her way to anywhere far from Kentucky, Taylor ends up with something she had been avoiding all her life: a child. Taylor stops to get coffee and leaves with a little Indian baby girl. A strange Indian woman appears from the middle of nowhere, "She opened up the blanket and took out something alive. It was a child. She wrapped her blanket around and around it until it became a round bundle with a head. Then she set this bundle down on the seat of my car. 'Take this baby,' she said" (17). Taylor is a strong and independent woman. But she did not know how to react in the occasion. Taylor uses dry, sarcastic, humor when she does not

“1…2…3…Go” and She was off. Carter loves running the wind in her hair and the rhythm of feet pounding the grass. A yell of “Hey C slow down” broke her thoughts.

"Uhh Zach, you live in L.A." Corbyn said as he read over the smaller boy's sweatshirt. "I bought it when I was living in Texas" Zach said sitting down causing his sweatshirt to slip a bit higher up his thigh.

When North America was first settled, the pioneers of our continent sought relief from their native lands. Where it would have been impossible for many of them to achieve prosperity and wealth, the new Western World enabled many of them to be successful on account of their dedication and work ethic alone. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby,” the state of this American Dream is depicted as it was in the 1920s. However, much has changed since this era, and today’s society has much evolved. In both epochs, the American Dream functions as a symbol of hope that promotes the personal advancement of many. However, in the 1920s the Dream was on the decline, whereas in the 2010s it has evolved to become an increasing reality. In both cases, the Dream plays an important role in the everyday lives of Western citizens. In the 1920s, the concept was impossible for most to attain. However, the Dream has evolved into a goal that can be achieved by an increasing number of people. In both time periods, the income gap between the wealthiest and poorest citizens is clear and convincing. However, in the 2010s, this has a mitigated impact on the average citizen due to social programming. While in both eras there is a somewhat of a distinction between sections of the continent, the divide between the East and the West is more pronounced in the 1920s. Modern

"Ross is such a douche" Brendon sighed laying down on Spencer's bed. "He did a whole coast to coast right babe?" Spencer asked Jon. Jon nodded at Spencer in agreement.

In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald utilizes many universal and timeless themes to make the novel a classic. He emphasizes that most people lack insight and can not see the truth. To the majority of the society, the reality is an illusion that they create in their minds. The characters, events, setting, symbols and imagery contribute to establishing this theme.

“A piece of writing may start off life as history or philosophy and then come to be ranked as literature; or it may start off as literature and then come to be valued for its archaeological significance” (Eagleton 7). As British philosopher, Terry Eagleton, eloquently explains, literature and history are deeply intertwined. Literature is heavily influenced by the history it is surrounded by; this sphere of influence includes prominent leaders, religions, wars, revolutions, and much more. Many classics show the influence of well-known historical events of their time period such as: 1984 by George Orwell which was influenced by the spread of communism and totalitarian governments, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald influenced by the roaring 1920s, and Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird influenced by the racial inequalities prevalent in America. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein can be added to this list as well. Frankenstein was influenced by the search for knowledge, loss of innocence, and romantic heroes both in history and literature of the Romantic period of 1798 through 1832; these same topics that influenced Shelley and other Romantic writers, influence the contemporary society and literature.

Last night was all a blur. It was definitely one of the most memorable night of my life. Everyone was all done up in expensive and ornate clothing. I felt so plain in my simple party dress. I silently drifted through the crowd choosing to observe the crowd rather than joining in on their festivities. After all, the only way I was able to obtain an invitation was through work. You see, my boss wanted me to write an article on Gatsby’s party. I was refused at first but my boss knows some things about me that I do not under any circumstances want exposed.

In his novel, The Great Gatsby, Francis Scott Fitzgerald implies that life hurts and disappoints in order to make people stronger. Fitzgerald, as all great artists, writes of his experiences in order to give the story a relatable, human touch.

On any given day when the news come in, there is an individual who is been handcuffed to be shipped off to jail or prison. This paper is meant to unfold budgeting, safety (overcrowding), rehabilitation programs, recidivism and gender related issues the prison systems in America faces. One might ask “Why the prisons systems are become so overcrowded, why recidivism rate so high and what are the prison system officials is doing to help those who are incarcerated?” Due to prisons been under staff, overcrowding is taking a drastic toll on the prison systems. Since inmates killed a correctional officer during a riot at Delaware’s largest prison in February, more than 100 guards have quit or retired early, leaving staffing levels at James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in Smyrna dangerously low (Galvin, 2017). Correctional officers have to be on edge when at work, due to the unknown of when prisoners will strike. Within five years of release, about three-quarters (76.6 percent) of released prisoners were rearrested. Of those prisoners who were rearrested, more than half (56.7 percent) were arrested by the end of the first year. Property offenders were the most likely to be rearrested, with 82.1 percent of released property offenders arrested for a new crime (Recidivism, n.d.). It is evident that the prison system is in turmoil. Recidivism is getting worst, and with the little staffing that the prison system has, they are doing the best they can. The criminal justice
