Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, there is a theme of growth and rebirth in both Huck Finn and Holden Caulfield. The journey of Huck and Holden can be categorized as a coming of age novel because Huck and Holden’s experiences demonstrate inner growth through their newly found understanding of morality, society, and self-image. According to B. Gert, morality is most commonly defined as a code of conduct, or set of beliefs, that a person follows which helps them distinguish between right and wrong. Mark Twain provides examples of Huck’s coming of age by revealing his new understanding of morality, which is shown through several of Huck’s decisions in the novel. In chapter 31, after Huck writes the letter to
Tom jealousy towards Gatsby stems from Gatsby’s relationship with Daisy. “‘I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from Nowhere make love to your wife. Well, if that's the idea you can count me out” (Fitzgerald 137). Tom’s jealousy prompts him to inflict any sort of pain to Gatsby as he is filled with hatred.

On one level The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald comments on the careless gaiety and moral decadence of the period in which it was set. It contains innumerable references to the contemporary scene. The wild extravagance of Gatsby's parties, the shallowness and aimlessness of the guests and the hint of Gatsby's involvement in crime all identify the period and the American setting. But as a piece of social commentary The Great Gatsby also describes the failure of the American dream, from the point of view that American political ideals conflict with the actual social conditions that exist. For whereas American democracy is based on the idea of equality among people, the truth is that social discrimination still exists and the divisions among the classes cannot be overcome.
English Essay To what extent has studying the concept of physical journeys expanded your understanding of yourself, of individuals and of the world? In your answer, refer to your prescribed text, The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain and a related text of your own choosing. Physical journeys are a movement between two points that usually involve challenges that lead into new sights and experiences. This can provide opportunities for travellers to extend themselves as they respond to the challenges and learn more about themselves and the world around them. Both, the novel, The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, and the poem, The Journey of the Magi by T.S Eliot display physical journeys, which expand the understanding of one self, of individuals and of the world.
But what sets these journeys apart are their purposes. The purpose for a journey to be undertaken can vary greatly from religious enlightenment and colonising to seeking knowledge and psychological growth. On all types of journeys, the traveler is in search of identity. Sometimes, the “search” is not intentional, but results from reaching the goal. This search can involve the traveler understanding both positive and negative facets about themselves, including articles, perspectives and traits.

While he points out the transformation to establishing his suggested habits can be a long one, I have already seen changes in my personal way of thinking that I feel have helped shape my life for the better. In this paper, I will share some of my thoughts on what I like and dislike about Covey’s suggested plan, and how I might apply these habits to my future as a potential business leader. “Our basic nature is to act, and not be acted upon.” (75). While this might be our human nature, Covey introduces his habits with the advice to “be proactive.” After reviewing each habit, I found this habit to be the most important in that it is not possible to form the other habits without taking some sort of initiative. This was the perfect habit to introduce the rest because it showed the reader Covey’s direction from the beginning.
