After I graduate from Sam Houston High School, I plan to continue to finish my Associate's degree in Cyber Security and Information Assurance at San Antonio College in the fall.

F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, though both evolved from the same literary time and place, created their works in two very dissimilar writing styles which are representative of their subject matter. The two writers were both products of the post-WWI lost generation and first gained notoriety as members of the American expatriate literary community living in Paris during the 1920's. Despite this underlying fact which influenced much of their material, the works examined in class dramatically differ in style as well as subject matter. As far as style, Fitzgerald definitely takes the award for eloquence with his flowery descriptive language whereas Hemingway's genius

Jamaica, a small island, in the Caribbean, known for its music and rich culture. The people are vibrant and live by the motto “we don’t have problems, we have situations.” One will most likely never hear the word “depression’ thrown around in Jamaica. But, does it exists? Sure it does! Only not as much as the United States, and there is minimal need for prescription medications. Many people, living in Jamaica, utilize music, and the land (therapeutic streams, walks in the valleys, and the beaches) to heal their sorrows. Many people within the United States do not have the luxury of these things or the time to take a dip or walk in Nature. Instead, they are encouraged to take medications to heal their sadness, whether it is depression episodes

Many of the passages of the novel reflect his life. Hemingway writes: “But man is not made for defeat," he said. "A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” This has been shown through his life, as Hemingway wrote the novella to prove he wasn’t finished as a writer.

Not only would he sacrifice for others that share his beliefs, he would sacrifice his life for his guerrilla band members, which demonstrates the idea of close companionship in the face of death.
