  I believe that for me to approach this in a fair way in which the volume of character development throughout an entire book can surpass the descriptions of a writer through volume, I am choosing to describe characters and the organization of their individual orders for kissing, marrying, and killing, within a limit of wording for each character. For each character, I have set myself a minimum of 100 words and a maximum of 125 words.      To discuss the less diseased set of characters, I am choosing the discuss the women’s set. I would firstly, kiss Myrtle. Myrtle is the lover of Tom Buchanan whilst being married to Mr. Wilson. Because this cheating isn’t a very healthy trait of a relationship I believe that I would simply kiss Myrtle. She is a very beautiful woman in my opinion as portrayed in the lines saying “she carried her surplus flesh sensuously.” This description of the character portrays that she isn’t seen to have much more to her than her looks, with the...

  I am choosing to analyze and compare this epigraph by means of dissecting the text line by line. The first line reads, “ Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her, ” which introduces a character by using the pronoun in the line reading “ her. ” In the case of The Great Gatsby, “ her ” may very well be Daisy, as she is the subject of arguable obsession in Jay Gatsby’s mind. In discussions in our class, we discussed the acronym “WWDD,” standing for what would Daisy do? This was a comparison, of course, in different situations. Like when we asked WWDD in the context of Myrtle, or in the context of Gatsby’s party he throws to impress her. On a more materialistic level, discussing the “ gold hat, ” I believe that this is a representation of Gatsby’s riches. Or what is shown to be his riches, that is. My skepticism reaches to the “... factual imitation of some Hôtel…” being that the imitation means it isn’t really authentic and the dodgy ways of how he speaks about his fortune as w...

The novel, The Great Gatsby, is a narrative written from the perspective of our narrator Nick Carraway. This was written to the time period of the Roaring Twenties. In the first three chapters of the book, Nick is included in three separate parties, the party of Tom and Daisy Buchanan, the party of Myrtle Wilson, and the party of Jay Gatsby, all parties had exclusive settings and individuals accompanying them, with some slight cross over of Jordan Baker seen in both the Buchanan and Gatsby party, each party brings what I would believe to embody a different feeling, pertaining obviously, to the people and setting that each party has.      In the first party of Daisy and Tom Buchanan, we are introduced to both Daisy - the cousin of Nick Carraway - and Tom Buchanan, as well as Jordan Baker. This party took place in fashionable East Egg. The setting is better described in the quote on page 6 reading "a cheerful red-and-white Georgian Colonial Mansion, overlooking the bay". Co...

The characters from The Crucible each have their own flaws. Some more than others of course. I would like to start out by stating the characters from least to most, I will then go into further detail to explain my opinion and the findings related to each character. The characters from least to most flawed are: Judge Danforth, Reverend Parris, Mr. Putnam, Reverend Hale, Mary Warren, John Proctor, Abigail Williams.      The character that a lot of people mistake for a highly flawed character is Judge Danforth, this is simply for the fact of prosecution and position in court he held. In his situation based off the evidence given (faked or not) he had to reach conclusions, especially during the time period that the trials were held in. In a broader sense, he didn’t show flaw til the end instead of more causation of problems arising in the beginning like other characters such as Abigail or John, both of which are main problems with evident flaws throughout the play.  ...
