At the beginning of chapter 9, Nick Carraway informs the reader upon the impact that Gatsby’s death and the ‘holocaust’-like aftermath of it has had upon him, through the quote "After two years," then, "I remember the rest of that day, and that night, and the next day". The days he is referring to are the ones after Gatsby’s demise – and how there was an endless flow of reports and policemen flocking to the mansion, creating a twisted, parodical version of his famed parties. However, it could be also considered not a parody, since the policemen and such care as much about Gatsby as his party-goers did beforehand – the sad truth of Gatsby’s life and the ‘American Dream’ as a whole. Nick, revealing his respect for Gatsby that has developed over the summer – showing character development throughout the story – worries that the reporters swarming the house care not about Gatsby and simply wish to turn his tragic death into a best-selling headline, filling their story with whispered rumours and degrading lies. Worse than this, Nick finds that nobody seems to be trying to validate or dismiss the rumours that are surrounding Gatsby’s death, finding himself alone as Gatsby’s only true friend –

Michael Carter AP English 3 In Cold Blood Rhetorical Analysis Essay Truman Capote, in the novel, In Cold Blood, asserts that Perry’s hallucinations are a coping mechanism for himself. Capote supports his assertions by exposing the meaning behind Perry’s yellow bird, using imagery when Perry finally understands he is going to die by capital punishment, and illuminating Perry’s attitude after he reads the letter from his father. The author’s purpose is to point out Perry’s sanity behind his psychotic episodes in order to explain the inner-workings of the mind of the killer. The author writes in an ambiguous tone for the educated readers so that is keeps the readers in suspense even though they know the outcome. Perry thru out the novel had this recurring dream about a yellow bird.

Shana Burleson English 103 Dr. Sura September 18, 2012 Remarks on Remarks It was April fourth, 1968, a windy and cold afternoon in Muncie, Indiana. Robert Francis Kennedy was taking his last question from the audience he was speaking to on his presidential campaign trail. A young black boy had raised his hand and asked Kennedy if he really believed in the “good faith of white people toward minorities.” Kennedy affirmed that yes, he did; after all, this was the faith he was trying to cultivate as a presidential candidate. Minutes later, before he boarded the airplane that would take him to Indianapolis for his first big campaign speech in the state, Kennedy was taken aside and told that Dr. Martin Luther King had just been shot in Memphis, Tennessee. After the initial shock, Kennedy’s first response to the news was, “You know, it grieves me…that I just told that kid this and then walk out and find that some white man has just shot their spiritual leader” (Schlesinger 874).
Four years ago, Tom Brown became a councilor at Tully Hill Rehab. He has dedicated his life to saving other outsiders. By telling his story he hopes that addicts will see how messed up your life can be and how far you can come from it, giving them the inspiration and courage they need to make their change. Doing this has made Tom very much an insider. He is opening the door for other alcoholics like himself to show them that they can come inside.
He delivers a speech, on the evening of August 17, 1998 with which he shares his remorseful “thoughts” and apologizes to the whole country for the scandal he has created. Well, that’s how is seems to appear in his original draft, but in the edited version which he delivered, it lost that impression. Clinton should have presented his first draft because it sent a more sincere and trustworthy apology to the country, and especially
‘I told her she might fool me but she couldn’t fool God. I took her to the window’ –with an effort he got up and walked to the rear window and leaned with his face pressed against it – ‘and I said, “’God knows what you’ve been doing, everything you’ve been doing. You may fool me, but you can’t fool God!”’ Standing behind him, Michaelis saw with a shock that he was looking at the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg…” (Fitzgerald 159). When George Wilson finds out about the murder of his wife, he attributes the eyes to God, implying that since God see’s everything they do that the eyes command justice be upheld for the sins of these rich snobs who otherwise live completely without consequence. In this light, you can make sense of the earlier mentioning of the eyes: they were there all along to remind the characters of
Up until the bombing in Boston I felt that the US and its people had healed significantly from the tragic events of 2001. It would appear that is not the case. Listening to the news, friends and co-workers has really opened my eyes to how skeptical and truly afraid we still are of more attacks on our soil against our people. I feel as though the scab has just been ripped of a fresh wound rather than one that is more than 10 years old. This is really striking to me as a kind of barometer of where we, as a country are.
Think about this: The governor of Massachusetts, the superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police, the mayor of Boston, the Boston police commissioner and the head of the Boston FBI office all proclaimed on Saturday morning that the danger had passed and Boston and its suburbs could return to normal. Yet the attorney general in Washington told his FBI agents in Boston to disregard those officials and instead pretend that the public safety was still jeopardized and then expand a 10-second window to 72 hours. The Constitution was written to preserve freedom by restraining the government. The courts from time to time have required the government to respect the natural law, as well. But when the attorney general arbitrarily changes the law to suit the demands of the people when they are weeping, it fundamentally undermines our freedoms.
