... to the eccentric wonder that was his personality, and to the bewilderment that succeeded his death. Gatsby is the rich, majestic, protagonist of the novel. While it isn't clear how he made all his money it is obvious that it was through illegal dealings in organized crime. There was a reference to the 1919 World Series, (That's the one where the players on the Chicago White Sox helped out organized crime by not trying their hardest when it counted. Go Reds!) When asked about his line of work, Gatsby claims to be in the drugstore business. Drugstores were a common means of bootlegging liquor during prohibition since pharmacists could sell whiskey by prescription ...
... the chapter headings that begin with excerpts from the white, middle-class Dick & Jane reader. Much as Pecola's world falls apart in the novel, the Dick & Jane passages, repeated three times, degenerate into formless, meaningless print: "seemothermotherisverynice." The object of scorn for her "ugliness" from her family and acquaintances, Pecola yearns to become beautiful and, (she thinks) as a result of her beauty, loveable. That beauty is strictly defined by white and unattainable standards; however, a Shirley Temple mug and Mary Jane candies become the emblems of that for which Pecola yearns. The same racism that underpins the standards of beauty under which Pe ...
... In that month a crowd of protesters were attacked by soldiers in the town square of the capital. Then, on 12 March 1977, a radical priest, Rutilio Grande, was murdered. Romero had known him. Now he observed that there was no official inquiry. He recognized that power lay in the hands of violent men, and that they murdered with impunity. The wealthy sanctioned the violence that maintained them. Death squads committed murder in the cities while soldiers killed as they wished in the countryside. When a new government, which represented many powerful interests was elected it was seen to be by fraud. There was talk of revolution. More and more Romero committed him ...
... person. He does not tell Mark about his illness because he wants him to get involved and attached to the Indians. Mark meets new people and learns all about the Indian cultures, traditions, and rituals. He had to overcome many great difficulties in order to help and convert these proud, Kwakiutl native people. The old ones were unreligious while the young ones had little respect towards the old people and the old ways of life. His first problem was trying to be accepted into this struggling primitive community, which was starting to be swallowed into the white man's world. Then he had to help preserve the old culture of totems and salmons from being replaced b ...
... Brooks and Red had gone through its final stage, but Red’s friendship with Andy gave Red a glimmer of hope. Brooks and Red, although slightly different, were essentially the same in every way. It’s just that hope had set Red free. ...

... by smoking. It allows the non- smokers to breathe fresh air and discourage the new smokers because they have to walk to the sidewalk to smoke and influence the younger grade not to smoke. It also protects the non- smokers from breathing second hand smoke. If smokers smoke in the school, then they will be breathing the same air everyday, because the school has a poor ventilation system, which is unfair for everyone. If the “no smoking policy” did not exist, the schools’ and students’ safety would be at extreme high risk. The smokers would create a crowd of people and smoke cigarette which generate air that can’t be breathe into lungs. No one would hav ...
... like a foot for thirty years, poor and white, barely daring to breathe or achoo,” this expresses her fear of her father, and illustrates the fact that she has remained silent, unable to speak up or even breath any words against him. “Daddy, I have had to kill you. You died before I had time--,” this portrays the extent of her hatred toward him. That she was so appalled by his character that she would end his life if only she had the strength. But he died before she grew strong enough to stand up to his horrible countenance. The next portion of the poem, “Marble-heavy, a bag full of God, Ghastly statue with one grey toe big as a Fris ...
