... he uses all of the techniques of modernist writing to make the reader go back in time to the 1920’s and experience what life and people were like. In the novel The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald uses uncertainty, disjointedness, and disillusionment for the content of his story. The reason why he is a master of modernist writing is because he not only makes his characters uncertain, disjointed, and disillusioned, but he also makes the reader feel that was. He gives the reader a taste of what it was like back in the 1920’s and he does this through the content of his novel. At the opening of the novel the reader is introduced to the narrator, although they will no ...
... has been a drastic evolution of both the female species and the relationship between woman and man. The woman began as a worker, slaving over a hot stove and making a family and home for both her and the man. She was almost an equal to him in the amount of work that was done. But somewhere along the way, the female became lazy and greedy. She became too involved with her looks and money, and not involved with anything having to do with work. The purpose of a woman changed from helping her man, to being an ornament for him to display. In , Pope tells the story of a young girl, Belinda, who is attempting to catch a man. She knows that she is pretty, and thin ...
... these values often differed from society to society. With each passing year, more and more laws are coming into effect. Consequently, more and more people are growing incognizant of the laws that govern them. In effect, this ignorance of the law nullifies its effectiveness as a deterrent of crime. Therefore, modern law has taken a more passive role as a medium for holding people accountable for their actions. Voltaire once said that “a multitude of laws in a country is like a great number of physicians, a sign of weakness and malady.” Historically, laws have been created in an attempt to correct perceived problems within a society. An epidemic of a ...
... the social, or slang, words do. Slang is usually created by children or teens who seek social status (Morrow 137). Because kids are the source of new slang, some adults look down on it with the assumption that kids are unintelligent and simply rebelling against established English grammar and diction. However, most of the adults did the same thing when they were children. Adults have been frowning on slang for generations (Crystal 104). Conservatives also look down upon slang because slang is not used by people of high status. If they hear someone speaking in Jive, they will be angry because Jive is not the way that high class people speak. People who do not lik ...
... of Shadows with that knowledge. The Book of Shadows is used as the basis for ritual practice in the Gardnerian tradition. The Celtic is also a very old form. It is based on Celtic/Druidic practices and uses many of the Celtic deities, elements, and nature. ns believe that both animate and inanimate objects possess a spirit, which forms part of the Whole, or “The Cosmic Web”. The term spirit does not mean ghost, it means that which links something to nature so that it is recognized as an inalienable part of the universe. usually involves the practice of magick (spelled that way to differentiate from illusionists). Magick is defined as the pro ...
... of information on basically anything and everything imaginable. This can be used for anything from cooking dinner to finding out the latest movie showtimes. 2. Being such a good source of reaching people, the internet can change the way society works. It is an entire new way of communication. A small phone wire or data cable from a network can transmit data that is then interpreted by us, the user, as communication, interaction. By using the internet we are not only looking up information, we are also communicating to the world via electronic impulses. B. Commercial 1.

... have written II Thessalonians. An example of this is noticeable in II Thessalonians 1:3 and 2:13. The verses have the phrase, "we must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters…" (NRSV) which cannot be found in any other works by Paul and they seem to be uncharacteristic of him. The phrase, "shaken in mind", is in 2:2 (NRSV) and is another example of something that is not in any other part of Paul's writings. The style of II Thessalonians seems different than Paul’s usual means or writing. This letter is written in a very formal way as if to people that the author may not know very well (Freed 320). Paul would have known these people since ...
... and adopt a greyhound. Retired racing greyhounds are ready for immediate adoption from many Greyhound Adoption Agencies around the United States and Canada. Greyhounds range in color from red and black to white and fawn. They are a healthy breed and can live for 12-15 years with good care. They range in size from 26 to30 inches tall and weigh 50-85 pounds. Many people who are allergic to dogs are not allergic to greyhounds, due to their skin type and short, sleek coat. THE NEED FOR ADOPTION: It is estimated that each year in the U.S., tens of thousands of young, healthy greyhounds bred for racing are killed when they fail to keep up and are no longer viabl ...
... humans and make some suggestions of how to alleviate some negative aspect of it. On one hand, shiftwork enhances economy advantages (Maurice 13). Adaption of shiftwork may result in a reduction in unemployment, or may provide work for those potentially unemployed (Perlow 46). In some cases, the choice may be between shift work and no work at all. In addition, shiftwork can enable full use of capital goods. James Walker suggests that from the point of view of the economy as a whole, the introduction of shift work, by reducing the stock of capital required to produce a given output, can encourage the entry of new firms into an industry and thus makes the economy mo ...
... that someone else could not therefore they are not equal. The only possible way to mold our language towards an egalitarian society would be to outlaw certain words and phrases. This law would be virtually impossible to enforce due to the incredible number of people, not only in the world but even just in large cities. The only way to enforce a law of this kind would be to have microphones in every room of every building and on every street corner that would detect if an illegal word was said and issue a ticket of some form, as in the movie Demolition Man. Ironically, if this was to happen, we still would not be living in an egalitarian society because our gov ...
