In this quote, the color of Gatsby’s tie is gold, which shows that his suit is very expensive. With all of his extravagant and marvelous parties, Gatsby was able to show off how rich he is by doing things out of the norm. Gold also represents the luxurious life Gatsby lives. Because of his power and wealth, Gatsby is able to afford anything he desires: “…spiced baked hams crowded against salads of harlequin designs and pastry pigs and turkeys bewitched to a dark gold.” (40).This illustrates that even the food provided at his parties is considered expensive and the best of the best. This color is also in association with Tom: “The front was broken by a line of French windows, glowing now with reflected gold and wide open to the warm windy afternoon, and Tom Buchanan in riding clothes was standing with his legs apart on the front porch.” (6).This also shows a different type of wealth that Tom and Daisy have because of their “old money”, who someone like Gatsby does not have.
Now the future seems brighter for the United States and it is being expressed greatly through the abundance of this new plastic pink flamingo that seems to make Americans feel livelier. It is through the use of Allusions that Price shows us how the pink flamingo has become a great symbol for the United States culture. First she tells us how in the 1930’s vacationing Americans themselves were going to Florida and returning home with a pink flamingo as a souvenir. She also mentions how in the 1910s and 1920s the first grand hotel in Miami Beach named The Flamingo gave more fame to the bird due to its great wealth. This caused an outbreak in architects persuading them into making more flamingo designs.

In Ancient Egypt, while the value of gold was still well known, the importance of it to society and its culture was unfathomable compared to the role it played in any other areas. A first and more obvious reason for its importance in Ancient Egypt was the desire neighboring areas possessed for gold. Egypt was often known for its great abundance of gold during the time leading other surrounding rulers to reach out to Egyptian rulers in hopes of working out arrangements to procure some for themselves. As a result, gold was bartered away for other lavish goods such as ivory, turquoise, and incense. In addition to trade for the purpose of gaining other goods, rulers began to use this gold in more strategic manners.
Zinn had put pieces of his description in the chapter “Hispaniola is a miracle. Mountains and hills, plains and pastures, are both fertile and beautiful ... the harbors are unbelievably good and there are many wide rivers of which the majority contain gold.... There are many spices, and great mines of gold and other metals....5” Columbus had also spoke about the Indians being naïve and open with their property. To help convince the king and queen to send extra support Columbus added a little religious talk “Thus the eternal God, our Lord, gives victory to those who follow His way over apparent impossibilities.6” This had led to his second

He reminds me a Jack Nicholson in all his magnificent roles. Following a few bars of pastoral music, Faust's opening narrative is wonderfully recieved. It seems Faust is peaceful and rejoicing in the spring time. The flutes make for the most amazing sounding birds. Coupled with glorious harp interjections, the music cause me to tear up in joy.
But read between the lines gushing about how dreamy and brooding Edward is, and you get something much more concerning. It’s a rich man’s world: Both Dracula and Edward Cullen are wealthy, though in Dracula’s case, we aren’t given a lot of information as to why. We can assume pretty safely that his title and castle are both inherited, as was usually the case with European nobility. We also have this awed description from Jonathan Harker of the accumulated wealth he finds in Dracula’s bedchamber: “The only thing I found was a great heap of gold in one corner… covered with a film of dust, as though it had lain long in the ground. None of it that I noticed was less than three hundred years old” (47).
