Grillby's House: A Narrative Fiction
Luckily for Sans, Papyrus was out of the house longer than usual due to both his Royal Guard training with Undyne and searching around for him, unaware that he was already at home. They're usually together, but Papyrus has noticed that every once in a while he just suddenly disappears. On his way back home he checked for his brother at a few of his nearby sentry posts, stopping by Grillby's as well even though he wasn't very fond of the place. After learning from one of Grillby's patrons that Sans hasn't been visiting as much as he usually does, he knew something was up.
Once he stepped through the door of their house, he was greeted by absolute darkness. "Sans, I'm home!" he announced in his usual boisterous voice to the pitch-black room

    In The Great Gatsby, a lot of the story revolves around Jay Gatsby’s house, which depicts an illusionary image throughout the novel. Nick describes the house during the party with a lot of life and color. Phrases like “In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths…” and “ ...already the halls and salons and verandas are gaudy with primary colors…” add to the dramatic and illusive notion of Gatsby and his dream. Fitzgerald’s purpose in this is to give the reader a better observation of who Gatsby is and how he plans to reach his dream. He hides within the facade of his parties, as well as his lies, and he’s stuck in the past. All of his extravagance is purely for one person to notice him, and his house helps that idea along very…

Scott Fitzgerald alludes to the concept of The American Dream in a time just after World War 1 and he achieves this through many characters and the environment in which they live and interact in.

    The American Dream is a naïve belief; it lies in the ideas of unlimited opportunity, impractical levels of success, and a perfect life. This Dream is particularly alluring for the poor, and immigrants fleeing oppression. It speaks of freedom and opportunity, a land full of unimaginable possibilities and endless wonder. From early colonists who left Europe as peasants and outcasts to seek land and wealth, to present day illegal immigrants hoping for a better life, the American Dream has drawn people to the United States of America. The belief in an abundance of land and jobs, which was once true, has persisted to this day. For centuries people have come to the United States, the land of the free, naïvely thinking this freedom will allow them to create a happy and wealthy life from nothing. On the contrary, few if any of these dreamers rise to fame due to hard work. People reward idiocy with fame and wealth; Paris Hilton is essentially famous for being famous. While for some, like Bill Gates, the American Dream holds true. These are just two stories, one might consider of success. Untold thousands still live in poverty, unable to follow their dreams because they have to worry about their next meal. Opportunity is nearly non-existent and freedom counts for naught, yet many of these people still believe that one day they will finally grasp that Dream, hiding just out of reach. The United States, the land of opportunity, the land of the free, is just another country in which to live from day to day. The American Dream is a temptation, an illusion behind which a country hides. Like the lottery, thousands, even millions come, hoping to win the jackpot, to fulfill the Dream, and in the end only a select few will receive that decisive and life-changing reward.…
