How does Fitzgerald tell the story in Chapter 1? To open the chapter of the novel Fitzgerald makes it clear to the reader that the narrator is in first person meaning that the narration could be biased and opinionated. To start off the novel, Nick Carraway, introduces himself personally by the reader being introduced by the quote which his father told him at his ‘younger’ and ‘more vulnerable years. His father stated ‘all the people in the world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had’ which Nick tells the reader from learning this from his father that he has always been ‘inclined to reserve judgements’. Following on from this Nick highlights that he will not judge a person before he has the chance to learn more about the individual.
Write some of the ways Fitzgerald tells the story in Chapter One Chapter one begins with Nick, our narrator, talking about his upbringing. He talks of his strong relationship with his father and how he taught him to reserve judgement about other people, because if he holds them up to his own moral standards, he will misunderstand them. On the first page of the chapter it is clear that the story has already happened, his first paragraph includes words like “When I came back...” and “last autumn...” suggesting events from the past. Also in these first few words we gain an understanding into the ideas he has and a judgement into the past. When he came back he says “...I wanted the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention for ever” This suggests that he experienced immoral behaviour and wants change.
An example of this would be, “ I usually Lone it anyway”. Which shows his feelings on how he doesn’t care. Also when the reader imagines Ponyboy you get a lower class hoodlum image but when you read on Ponyboy doesn’t fit the Hoodlum stereotype as you find he is very intelligent as he has a high IQ and makes good grades but doesn’t like to show it as his older brother Darry expects a high grades from him. In addition Ponyboy admires his brother Sodapop as he
Dumpster Diving Summary/Response “Dumpster Diving” is an essay by Lars Eighner, highlighting the good and bad of “scavenging” as he likes to call it. He brings to light how to become a diver, the stages divers go through, and his reservations about judging others who throw away perfectly good items. All in all, he is simply trying to enhance the fact that our culture is wasteful, and the large gaps between social classes. I think that Lars manages to keep his humanity intact, despite being homeless. He only takes items that he immediately needs or has a use for, the rest he leaves for others to discover and use.
Do the ending chapters fit with the previous chapters of the novel? Did Twain ruin the entire novel by failing to conclude the moral themes he was beginning to tackle? I would like to state my points of Mark Twain does not give readers a satisfied and reasonable ending by examining the evolution of Huck’s and Jim’s character and their journey to freedom. As the novel progresses, Huck Finn grows up from a boy to a young man and developing an understanding of race issues and morality during these years. At the beginning of the story, Huck is a boy who plays games with his best friend Tom.

It seems that in the metaphor rich nations are playing the role of King while poor nations become paupers that could contribute nothing but only wait for help. This metaphor is so unfair because it totally distorts the relationship and exaggerates the differences between rich nations and poor nations. As we know, in the modern society no single nation could survive without the premise of intercommunication and mutual benefit. Even for the wealthiest and strongest nation the United States, imports and foreign help are quite necessary. For
Another great addition in the book is "The five laws of gold" which seem to give more guild lines on investing. The book was pretty clear that you should know a lot about the felid you wish to invest in, and that one should not invest in anything that promises absurdly good returns. These are points I will always put in mind when investing. Although, I am kind of worried about investing but I learned from the book that even the most conservative of investments will pay better than cash stuffed in a mattress for a rainy day. If you do something, something will happen.
Adam’s pondering portrays how destiny might take part in the futures of the twins. Does Aron’s death in the war relate back to the fact that Aaron in the Bible does not reach the Promised Land? Or, does Cal’s name, Caleb the captain bring him to lead on a better life? Through this, Steinbeck alludes to the uncontrolled destiny of Cal and Aron in which case the two have no responsibility over it. When Samuel Hamilton comes to visit Adam Trask upon overhearing that the twins have not been named yet after weeks of their birth, Samuel decides to wake Adam from the debilitating “sleep” that Cathy seems to have put him in.
On the other side there are descendants which are raised in wealth and don’t have an attitude or the same parental feeling toward the company as the founders had. I think that Eva and Dieter are willing to work, grow the company and earn a lot of money, but in this situation they look like spoiled children having the coolest toy in kindergarten. Today’s business world is cruel; there are taxes, rules, norms, regulations and other conditions that have to be followed. It makes production more expensive so I understand that leaving the Germany was logic idea. In the end it is probably much easier for Germans to find another job since it is one of the most powerful countries in EU.
