Gatsby has no point in living anymore because the one thing he wanted in life he would never have. As Gatsby died, all the beautiful things around him died including the nature. The grass was dead, the leaves of trees were falling and the darker months were coming. A tree can only live with sunlight and warm weather in order to grow luscious leaves; each season when the warm weather and sun disappears it dies. Gatsby can only live if he had Daisy.
Alligators and they get trapped within the hydrilla. Limpkins, because their primary food source, apple snails, are dying out in the Wakulla Springs ecosystem.

Furthermore, the moon reappears once Jane meets Rochester at Thornfield Manor.

Rochester becomes her new comfort as he will “take mademoiselle to the moon, and there [he] shall seek a cave in one of the white valleys
That’s how he died. (Emery, 1994, p. 401) The Poisonous Plant Fable is accorded more power when perpetuated by highly respected individuals. In his Pulitzer Prize winning book Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond tells of his reaction when some of his native New Guinean friends collect some mushrooms to eat: I patiently explained to my Foré companions that I had read about some mushrooms’ being poisonous, that I had heard of even expert American mushroom collectors’ dying because of the difficulty of distinguishing safe from dangerous mushrooms, and that although we were all hungry, it just wasn’t worth the risk. (Diamond, 1997, p. 144) To members of the Foré tribe, this probably sounded about as absurd as “let’s not eat these bananas; perhaps they are deadly false bananas” would sound to us. Most Americans, having been indoctrinated with the Poison Plant Fable, would have given Diamond’s warning serious consideration, but the Foré were properly offended and would have none of it.
They killed us with land mines and booby traps; they disappeared in the night, or into the tunnels, or into the elephant grass and bamboo” (199n21). At the time the Vietnam war seemed unforgiving and mysterious, in ways that it made most soldiers naturally evil who in which portrayed enormous grief upon the enemy. It was a time where in every soldier's head they carried a motto, “kill or be killed.” In the novel, In The Lake Of The Woods, small and simple footnotes are attached at the end of important chapters and they give the reader clues concerning the story or they expresses symbolic twists that make the novel somewhat unpredictable. The Footnote I have chosen runs on the back of chapter 20. The small passage explains related truth on the Vietnam War, symbolizes what John Wade, the protagonists, has witnessed, and finally how it portrays the rest of the novel.
Lord of the flies: Section 1 Literary Devices: Symbolism Plane crash: symbolizes failure or breakdown of society in the world outside Piggy’s eyeglasses: symbolize insight , wisdom, and knowledge Signal fire: symbolizes hope Metaphors “ with the running of the blood , Simon’s fit passed into the weariness of sleep. “ the usual brightness was gone from his eyes and he walked with a sort of glum determination like an old man. “ power lay in the swell of his forearms; authority sat on his shoulder and chattered In his ear like an ape. Simile “ the boys lay painting like dogs”. “ one patch touched a tree trunk and scrambled like a bright squirrel”.
Act 2 Scene 3 Friar Lawrence: The smiling morning is replacing the frowning night. Darkness is stumbling out of the sun’s path like a drunk man. Now, before the sun comes up and burns away the dew, I have to fill this basket of mine with poisonous weeds and medicinal flowers. The Earth is nature’s mother and also nature’s tomb. Plants are born out of the Earth, and they are buried in the Earth when they die.
Dense clouds of insects clamor for blood, and armies of natives mass around the fluorescent lights of a storefront in a frenzy to get inside, or the lonely beam of a flashlight in the jungle. The insatiable, minimally rational and barely-human appetites that drive the indigenous people of the novel are, finally, best embodied by the tribe of sinister cannibals who keep the scientists on their toes as they hover menacingly just on the margins of the story, at least until the novel's nail-biting eleventh hour, when Patchett propels them into position front and center.And yet, Patchett's greatest strength, her imagination, ultimately gives shape to a host of platitudes about the primitive pleasures and dangers that lie out there in the jungle. In "State of Wonder" Patchett writes with the confidence and authority of an author-explorer endowed with the power to imagine a universe divided into ill-mannered natives and the modern men and women from Minnesota who teach them table manners, instruct them in the art of wiping their feet before they get into bed, and train them to be docile subjects, "submitting themselves to constant weighing and measurement, allowing their menstrual cycles to be charted and their children to be pricked for blood
