To some degrees they are searching for some physical being to worship. Packer argues that our devotion has shifted from our once trusted institutions (churches, government, and school) to our “grander than life" celebrities (474). Celebrities doing powerful, extraordinary things in their normal lives, give the average person hope that they too can have or accomplish the same things. In truth, celebrities don’t want us to be like them, because it seems they feel their success is achieved by us being left behind (476). I agree with Packer’s statement: “They are as intimate as they are grand, and they offer themselves for worship by ordinary people searching for a suitable object of devotion" (474).
It is due to Nick’s desire to convey a positive image of Jay Gatsby, the image which he himself withheld, that inclines him to vary from his use of chronological order during chapter six, suddenly adopting the use of anachrony by unexpectedly deviating from the main plot. During this sudden digression, Nick illuminates the reader with the life of James Gatz – Jay Gatsby’s former self – with the intention of ‘exploding those first wild rumours’. This variation in the order of events makes use of the aspect of narrative ‘time and sequence’. However, Nick’s account of how Gatsby met his ‘destiny’ in the form of Cody is questionable as he states that together Gatsby and Cody journeyed ‘three times around the continent’ within the space of five years; a concept that seems implausible. By explaining the alleged truth about Gatsby’s past - such a wildly imagined and crucial event – in an indirect way and through making obvious use of exaggeration, Gatsby and his past remain ambiguous, maintaining Fitzgerald’s structural device of arousing the reader’s interest in Mr Jay Gatsby.
We never quarrel about religion.” “Brother, the Great Spirit has made us all, but He had made a great difference between his white and red children. He has given us different complexions and different customs...” …” Why may we not conclude that He has given us a different religion according to our understanding? The Great Spirit does right. He knows what is best for his children; we

The visually realised enviroment brings out more harsh qualities of human characters who inhabit it and further leads us to understand how the individual sees and percieves the world. These statements show that paul has an openess to a new experience, unlike his mother who constantly complains about the heat and his fathers indecitement of this “ town of booze and blow” paul conversely “ loves "the town "at first sight". Peter goldsworthys use of alliteration helps to convey the imagery of pauls fathers thoughts and how he percieves the town of darwin. Unlike the novel the artwork contributes to the responder visualising how the artist was feeling at the time. The main individual in the picture seems to feel like he is going insane and becoming overwhealed.
When Gatsby attempts to regain the past by persuading Daisy to tell Tom she doesn't love him, Tom destroys Gatsby's dream. By having the more recent past, Tom reminds Daisy of the good times they have had together and causes her to no longer think of leaving him. He also has knowledge of Gatsby's illegal dealings, something that he knows will upset Daisy, and he knows will strengthen his cause against Gatsby. 'The Great Gatsby' is effectively based on the past, and memories. In the last page of the novel, Nick contemplates human nature, and we learn a little of why Fitzgerald has written the book in this way, and why, in his opinion, we struggle so in life.
Cultivate Our Gardens Voltaire’s Candide is a Juvenalian satire first published in 1759. Candide is about a young, naive man, Candide, who journeys with his mentor Pangloss overcoming various obstacles. Voltaire uses this satiric novel to criticize the philosophical mindset of his time. Voltaire depicts the worst of this cruel and selfish world, and his hero’s desperate effort to fit it into an optimistic outlook. Questions about life and its purpose are brought out in this book.
In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Fitzgerald illustrated an unattainable dream of Jay Gatsby. Gatsby wishes he can re-create the past again with Daisy, but Gatsby is so naïve to believe that it is possible. The book is filled with important symbols that serve as an important significance. The green light at the end of the Buchanan’s dock represents Gatsby’s dream of meeting Daisy again. The Valley of Ashes is a dark place, where only the poor live; they are separated from the rich.
With the foundation and structure created, the interior must be added. In my opinion, I feel that Maurice was trying to convey a life lesson within this cute children’s book, as well as having some symbolism along the way. As Max created this “island” with his imagination, he sought to an imaginary land to escape from his problems. In the story, The Terrible Things represent what had been troubling Max and the fighting with his mother. With Maurice choosing to have Max become king of the Wild Things, he symbolically over came and dealt with his problems.
The use of figurative language as a metaphor contrasts with the bald, prosaic, factual elements of his life. This also brings in religious allusions, showing the remaining connection between Raimond and his highly religious father. It also shows how he has become a person who is “alive with beauty” from someone who absorbed his fathers attitude towards the landscape. “Lay in the light,” The use of poetic and almost artistic language brings a sense of imagery of a beautiful place but also the artistic side of Raimond contrasting to his father, who is highly a practical man. The use of complex language and the religious allusion in “The experience transformed my sense of life,” and “Transcendence” again helps to show how he has changed.
