He built himself up from a poor farm boy to a wealthy businessman. His main goal was to win Daisy back, he did this by throwing extremely lavish parties “ On week-ends his Rolls-Royce became an omnibus, bearing parties to and from the city between nine in the morning and long past midnight, while his station wagon scampered like a brisk yellow bug to meet all trains. And on Mondays eight servants, including an extra gardener, toiled all day with mops and scrubbing-brushes and hammers and garden-shears, repairing the ravages of the night before” (43). Gatsby knew that Daisy was attracted to wealth so if she heard about fancy parties with servants and Rolls-Royce cars then he thought she would come back to him. In doing this Gatsby did not even flinch when it was time to write the check.
“Montmorency” is set in the 1800’s and 1900’s, in Victorian London around Covent gardens and the surrounding area, including Great Ormond street hospital, Also St pauls cathedral and Whitehall. This setting gives the novel a familiar air to it, because of the famous landmarks, which it makes it easier for you, to picture the story in your head. Montmorency has many themes including Conflict, criminal activities, Alter egos and touches on Racism. This makes the book a challenge to read at time because of all the rather depressing issues but if you can see past that, the themes make it a more compelling read. The characterisation of each character differs for 493/Montmorency/scarper.It is hard to give personality traits since he is a spilt personality but one thing you see through out is that he is a kind person at heart as he only steals from stuck-up people and that he is very clever as he concocts this whole scheme by himself.
John Steinbeck made the plot interesting and the themes behind the work were truly brilliant. The book had its points were they were very descriptive but didn’t keep me interested enough. Reading through those boring parts is completely worth it though. Steinbeck makes the book easy to understand and i like that quality a lot about this book. In my opinion, I got the idea that this book was written more for the workings of the mind but at the same time Steinbeck wanted to make you feel something as you read this.
It means that the writer should work his or her information from general to specific; and it is true for this essay, because as we can see the general idea, being how people enjoy “mystery stories”, is brought up right in the beginning and then the writer makes his way to the specific, being why he believes Agatha Christie appeals the most by listing his reasons, “strong characters, her interesting settings, and her strong morality.” The body of the essay is well-written. He explores his points in the same order that came in the thesis statement. First, he explains Agatha Christie’s characters in the body paragraph 1; in the second body paragraph, he gives examples of her interesting settings and in the last body paragraph, he gives his opinion on Agatha Christie’s morality. Also, the writer has put enough detail and examples to support each of his points. Lastly the conclusion is well-done.

Nick, describing Gatsby’s commitment to completely changing himself in order to fit Daisy’s expectations, explains, “So he invented just the sort of Jay Gatsby that a seventeen year old boy would be likely to invent, and to this conception he was faithful to the end” (Fitzgerald 95).
