    We further sympathise with Daisy over this case as the ever growing contrast between the personalities of the character Tom and Daisy are brought to light, with Daisy seeming to be an angelic, pure character, in a relationship with a less caring and vulgar man. We are reminded of this, when Tom and Nick are arguing over whom Daisy loves more. Tom openly admits…

    Upon Ray Bivens Jr.’s forceful capture and caging of a colorful menagerie of African birds from his ex-girlfriend’s house, similarities between Spurgeon and the birds become apparent. These similarities are not accidental, nor are they surprising. Birds are often used as a symbol for humans not only because they possess great physical and behavioral human resemblance, but also because we believe that we are able interpret their thoughts. Birds lend themselves to becoming symbols because “they seem so like us in many ways” (Mynott 282). Mynott clarifies his statement that birds are “like us” by explaining that birds “have roundish heads with two eyes in front” and engage in behavior to which we believe we can relate (282). Mynott also acknowledges that birds can be bipedal. Because of these anthropoid physical traits and relatable behaviors, we are led to believe that birds experience feelings and emotions which are…

He graduated from New Haven in 1915 and a little later served in the military in Great War. The narrator briefly mentions the hero of the story- Gatsby. He says: “Gatsby who represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn. If personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures, then there was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life, as if he were related to one of those intricate machines that register earthquakes ten thousand miles away. This responsiveness had nothing to do with that flabby impressionability which is dignified under the name of the “creative temperament” – it was ea extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again. No- Gatsby turned out all right at the end; it is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul of dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short- winded elations of man.”…
