When Holden returns home from Pencey, he explains to Phoebe that he got expelled from school. Phoebe expresses her great concern for Holden’s safety from their father, but Holden reassures her he has a plan. He tells her “In the first place, [he’s] going away. What [he] may do, [he] may get a job on a ranch or something for a while. [he knows] this guy whose grandfather’s got a ranch in colorado. [He] may get a job out there… [He’ll] keep in touch with [Phoebe] and all when [he’s] gone, if [he goes]” (Salinger 165). “I’m going away” makes Holden sound like he has committed to departing. “I may get a job out there” highlights how Holden has thought this through and how he wants to continue with this idea.

F. Scott Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896. He was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and his parents were both born in Maryland and Irish. You could say he grew up very lower middle class. Fitzgerald’s views of relationships began at an early age. It was interesting because many of his best books came from the idea that women & men relationships is just a game with one person ending up being a winner. He claimed to forever have a jazz-age attitude that would stick with him for life, and it worked. F. Scott Fitzgerald died December 21, 1940 at the young age of 44.

Not far down the road, I had made Anna stop at Bluegrass Creek insisting that we needed to talk. At first she protested, saying that whatever I needed to discuss with her could wait. That, we needed to be on the road because we had half a state to travel if we were going to get to… and that’s when I said, Deerfield, and the surprise of me already knowing where the gathering was had silenced her instantly.

Money plays a huge role throughout this book. Especially in a negative way. Let us look at how money affects each character. First is Tom who is born into a rich family, was a great football player and became an old man with thinning hair and an awful, arrogant and cruel personality. This exposes to us that Tom is a cruel and immoral individual because of wealth and that beyond a doubt he has been persuaded and corrupted by the greed of money.

Thoreau, an avid transcendentalist, not only loved to speak about isolationism in society but also about politics as well. Despite many discrepancies in his contradictory beliefs, his writings of civil disobedience were essentially the first embers of revolutionary principles. Government, at its core, exists to protect the people and their freedoms while taking in account the majority interest. Citizens expect to be assured the basics of life such as security, wellbeing, and sometimes, something as simple as living. Unfortunately, we see many governments deviate from this standard as they purposely extort money from the poor to fuel their corrupt schemes and many also turn a blind eye to the needy begging at their feet. When a country begins

The Great Gatsby, the 1925 novel by F.

Wiesel wrote in a lot of detail about the events that were unfolding right in front of him. He could never forget the violence because it was stuck in his mind.

Paolina hung her pantyhose in their bathroom to dry, and it annoyed Antonello. They were so delicate that if his hand accidently brushed across them, the threads snagged easily on his finger nails, on the rough patches of his skin. The young craftswoman, button nose, sweet smile, reminded him of his mother’s Madonna, a statuette, the one she’d kept on her bedroom dresser to hang strands of rosary beads on. The one she knelt in front of before bed. His sister Carmela inherited the statuette – the only remaining church goer among his siblings. His mother would’ve described the young woman as angelic, it was disconcerting to think of her sitting at a work table, cutting up old stockings, shaping and stuffing them until they turned into old men and then shoving them into a jar, the lid screwed nice and tight.

Carrie was more of a quiet person who never did anything to anyone. She worked hard on her grades. She wasn’t a very outgoing person. Carrie’s hair was dyed pink, she usually wore ripped jeans and plain t-shirts. Alison on the other hand was the total opposite of Carrie. Alison was known as the school bully. She never did her homework, and she was loud and outgoing and not to mention very mean. Alison had black hair and usually wore shorts and t-shirts. Both Carrie and Alison had blue eyes.

“Just a pretty cool forested area,” answered Anna. “It gives off a renascence vibe when everything gets lit up by torches, I really like this spot,” she then said as she began climbing back out my bedroom window. “Oh, and you’ll have to drive my bike because this one handed riding I’ve been forced to do isn’t working all too well.”

Brave New World was a very enjoyable book that I read in the high school and its ending was also delightful. Soma in the book was defiantly an interesting drug, but if you had read the book you would see that it had side effects and it also made people sort of dull. If such a drug existed I would probably be interested in at least trying it out, however, in the book those who took soma sort of got hooked and addicted to the drug and I feel like that is something I may not be able to prevent so my final answer would probably no to taking soma. No one should be forced to do anything that they don’t consent too and so I don’t think that everyone should be forced to take it even if it was a safe drug mainly because people will begin to slowly lose

lives. Often times the hardships and pain these individuals went through was reflected in their works.

She had taken a winding steep path, difficult to navigate, to prepare for the climb. As she walked she admired the beauty of nature, absorbing the sights and smells. She couldn’t help but smile, this was her environment. This made her feel alive. She had come to the park just as dawn broke and relished in the peacefulness. She had always been most comfortable when she was alone.
