JDR- Business Technique. Much as one might like to see John D. Rockefeller as the arch capitalist crushing competitors as he gained monopolistic power, it's not so (at least according to the biography I read). He did indeed control much of the oil in the United States but he was fair in the prices he offered competitors he wanted to buy out and he was modest in his personal expenses and generous in his charitable contributions all his life. How he gain control He was able to price his product so low that competitors couldn't compete. They would then go out of business and/or sell to JDR.
Racism and prejudice inside and outside, same races, and schools still happen today. In the book To Kill a Mockingbird there was a lot of racism in and out of the schools. As we both know Tom Robinson was accused of rape from Mayella Ewell. But in the court room when the judge is speaking to Tom, we as an audience realize that he did not rape her.

Is Gatsby worth the whole damn bunch put together? Gatsby is worth the whole bunch put together based on his material qualities which is accumulated from shady business. Gatsby’s rags-to-riches success story makes him an embodiment of the American dream that contrasts with Tom who has become wealthy due to his inheritance. Although Gatsby has accumulated his wealth from shady business, his love for Daisy has remained for the 5 years he has gone without seeing her which portrays the lengths that he will go to in order to achieve his only ‘dream’ thus reinforcing Gatsby’s hope being worthy over the rest.
The article I chose to discuss an author’s subjectivity is about the Trayvon Martin case. Trayvon Martin was a young Black man who was shot to death by George Zimmerman. The article states the verdict in the case, which was that Mr. George Zimmerman was acquitted of murder. In the article, I can sense the anger and hostility of the writer. He also displays a sense of frustration when he writes that “the verdict, which should have been shocking, was delivered with the inevitability that Black Americans know too well when criminal law announces that they are worth less than other Americans” (Yankah, 2013, p.A23).

Wealth may be a big issue but it doesn’t mean that the issue of race has diminished. Just 6months ago a race related shooting occurred. In August 2014 a shooting of a young male in the state of Feguson, Missouri occurred by a white police officer. It is said that Michael Brown an African-American citizen was not committing any offensive or threatening behavior when he was shot, causing concern why the police officer thought necessary to shoot dead Michael Brown.
