    The crowded bar was noisy, smoky and in no way what Tom had in mind when he had suggested to Booker that they were in a slump and needed to set time aside for a weekly date night. When he had made the proposal, he had expected quiet nights in listening to music or dinners at fancy restaurants, but so far, they had experienced the unsavory environment of a pool hall and a night out at a Monster Truck exhibition. To say he was unimpressed would have been an understatement; his lover’s apparent lack of thoughtful and suitable suggestions for the perfect date had him feeling downright pissed off.

    a) In chapter IV, section IV, the author compared the words of someone who speak knowingly about buying or selling stocks to that of an oracle. Because of the overwhelmingly positive outlook of the market, brokers and investment counselors were aware of the possibilities, and people were eager to profit from a growing market, these men’s advices were treated with importance as their words “became golden”. The author uses religious metaphors to compare the confidence of the American people have for these stock buying advices to the that of a believer to an oracle; a sense of confidence that lacks sufficient justification or evidence. b) In the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, which was set in the 1920s, people lived in a state

    In the preceding month, whilst Tom had come home each night to an empty wine bottle, or a half-filled glass of Whiskey, and looked in on his wife, every time asleep in their bed, the man had also drunk. Not to excess, but just enough to dull the pain of the frozen relationship with Lila, and their failing marriage. He'd have beer and scotch on his breath, and often scratches on his arms, scrapes on his face, or bruises on his knuckles, from where'd he'd taken exception to a comment made by a fellow officer in the Bar all frequented, or gotten himself into a fight because a member of the public had looked at him the wrong way when he'd stumbled to his car. Better them than Lila.

Answers that he didn't even want to know, but simply asked for his own amusement, or for their embarassment and humiliation and an exuse to inflict even more agony. However, now here he sat with a woman, truly curious, and one whom he didn't consider an inferior species, but a potential equal, and it felt like a couple of lions dancing around each other. Wary of each, circling, neither prepared to demonstrate weakness or submit to the other.

    The Great Gatsby Literary Analysis “They were careless people…” says Nick Carraway, the narrator of The Great Gatsby. In a story depicting the 1920s during a time of prosperity, growth, and the emergence of the America as a major global power, this statement may seem to be contrary. But in reality, Nick Carraway’s description of his friends and the people he knew, was not only true, but is an indication of those who were striving for the American dream. F. Scott Fitzgerald suggests that the American Dream is foolish, the people who pursue it are immoral and reckless, and this pursuit is futile. First, F.
