back to him and attempts to have him part with Irene, while the narrator, Dexter is torn between two dastardly decisions. Throughout Fitzgerald's works, he tends to stick with the Freudian style of writing. In his work, "Tender in the Night," the main style he uses is the Freudian style of writing. "Tender Is the Night stretches over a classic Freudian framework of cause, effect, and blame centered on the incest issue." (Susann Cokal) With this style, the format is "cause and effect" which eventually leads to the blame dealing with incest, a key part of "Tender in the Night." This leads to severe issues in Fitzgerald's characters' relationships and causes drama and different problems. Even though Freud's style is questionable and criticized by critics when dealt with in writing, Fitzgerald is able to apply it and tell a story to captivate …show more content…
With his use of telephones, he creates privacy for elicit affairs while on the other hand also uses telephones for people to eavesdrop. "In 1922, the year in which the action takes place, private telephones were still a rarity." (Paul M. Levitt) Because of the telephones' expensiveness at the time, telephones are used in his stories to separate the rich from the poor and are used as a symbol of luxury. Lastly, Fitzgerald uses phones as a great outlet for organized crime. "Only the very rich could afford single lines, a necessity for Tom Buchanan and Jay Gatsby, since they are both engaged in illicit affairs and cannot risk having neighbors eavesdrop on their conversations." (Paul M. Levitt) With telephones, gangs and mobs are able to communicate over long distances and efficiently without having to risk meeting in person and getting caught by the police. Although public telephones were an option, they weren't to be trusted to due to sneaky operators who may be lurking
The section in the novel night that painted a dark and angry picture of human nature is when the Jews were fleeing Buna and hundreds of them were packed in a roofless cattle car. The Jews were only provided with a blanket that soon became soaked by the snowfall. They spent days in the bitter cold temperatures and all they ate was snow. For these reasons, many suffered and died. When they stopped in German towns, the people stared at that cattle cars filled with soulless bodies. “They would stop and look at [the Jews] without surprise.” It was a regular occasion for the German people to see suffering Jews and not feel pity. The dark and angry picture of human nature was when a German worker “took a piece of bread out of his bag and threw it
The time before cell phones were popular and everyone needed to have one people had other ways to communicate, like emails, sending letters back and forth and extra. Not saying that people still do not communicate
The labor which accompanied Fitzgerald’s fourth novel was not anticipated by the author. He had first envisioned Tender is the Night to be “something really new in form, idea, and structure—the model for the age that Joyce and Stein are searching for, that Conrad didn’t find”(Scribner 1). But disease, relative poverty, and heartbreak plagued Fitzgerald and repeatedly interrupted his work on the novel.
“Life is essentially a cheat and its conditions are those of defeat; the redeeming things are not happiness and pleasure but the deeper satisfactions that come out of struggle”- F. Scott Fitzgerald. Written by F. Scott Fitzgerald published in 1934, Tender is the Night is a novel about wealth and prosperity and the breakdown of love and marriage. Fitzgerald uses foreshadowing, symbolism, imagery and tone to emphasize that human frailty leads to downfall.

Fitzgerald's book at first overwhelms the reader with poetic descriptions of human feelings, of landscapes, buildings and colors. Everything seems to have a symbolic meaning, but it seems to be so strong that no one really tries to look what's happening behind those beautiful words. If you dig deeper you will discover that hidden beneath those near-lyrics are blatancies, at best.

The movie was a strong and bluntly written script and captivating performances by Sydney Poitier (Virgil Tibbs) and Rod Steiger’s (Sheriff Bill Gillespie) characters; the color brings emotions, body language and expressions to life. Yes, move can be an escape form of fantasy, history in learning to a person’s reality, but it can also produce the reality, what we failed or ignored to accept in the real world outside the movies. Fantasy might be the thing of the “magical” world, but it is of the world, and the camera is outside the world; which makes the screen the portal a real world that we played no part in. A film is made of photography, if a film script is taken out of the projector, what you see is still photography; it is said that “nothing
...ther serves to excite and stimulate our senses as we travel into the deranged mind of a killer ? offering us a unique perspective through the first person point of view. Similarly, the ending of ?Young Goodman Brown? offers a moral, but leaves the main character in a state of discord and callousness towards his wife, and his religion. The story is didactic, because the main character is punished for his transgressions. Symbolism, evident especially in Hawthorne?s allegory, and the repetition of Poe?s suspenseful tale serve to further the goals of each writer. Ultimately, Hawthorne?s Goodman Brown becomes isolated from humanity, an issue of the head and the heart, and Poe?s narrator withdraws inside himself, an issue purely of the mind. Recognizing this discord from the self and humanity is essential to understanding the behavior of these troublesome characters.

One example of a modernism technique that Fitzgerald uses is loss of control. The characters often lose control and make bad decisions that have horrible effects. For example Tom Buchanan to whom is married to Daisy Buchanan who is the second cousin to nick the main character and narrator of the story, is having an affair with a Mrs. Myrtle Wilson and because she is saying Daisy’s name hits her. “Making a short deft movement Tom Buchanan broke her nose with his open hand,”(page 41). This shows his loss of control over his emotions. He was showing anger toward his mistress and because she was not obeying his demand of not mentioning Daisy’s name. In another instance in The Great Gatsby, Daisy Buchanan ran myrtle Wilson-her husband’s mistress-which killed her instantly. She was hysterical when she discovered Gatsby‘s true source of his money and she could not be linked with someone of “Dirty Money,“(page153). George Wilson, who is Myrtle Wilson’s Husband, is so upset over myrtle’s death that he, after being misinformed, shoots and kills Gatsby to whom he believes is responsible for his wife’s death and then takes his own life. “…the gardener saw Wilson’s body a little way off in the grass, and the holocaust was complete,”(page170).
F. Scott Fitzgerald once stated that the test of a first rate intelligence was the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. This intelligence he describes is characterized by the principle of “double vision.” An understanding of this is essential to the understanding of many of Fitzgerald’s novels. “Double vision” denotes two ways of seeing. It suggests the tension involved when Fitzgerald sets two things in opposition such that the reader can, on one hand, sensually experience the event about which Fitzgerald is writing, The foundation of double vision is polarity, the setting of extremes against one another, which is the result of dramatic tension.
Phones have changed over the past twenty years and have had a positive and negative effect on people. Man kind as find many ways to communicate and stay connected with each other and the most common way is by a cellphone. Phones Cellphones have become one apart of our daily lives and some people just cannot live without them. In fact people use them more like computes than an actual phone itself. Most people let their phones control their lives and if their not carful it could have some serious consequences. Phones continue to get more and more advanced as time moves forward. However, in the beginning phones had a tough time getting out to the public however, if it was not for the first step into technology we would not have the phones we have today.
On March 10th, 1876, a revolutionary invention was created by Alexander Graham Bell. The telephone was invented to send vibrations from one receiver to another electrically (History.com ‘Speech Transmitted by Telephone’ accessed on March 11, 2014), and due to Alexander Graham Bell accidentally discovering that he could hear the sound of a ‘clock spring twanging’ (Marry Bellis, ‘The History of the Telephone’ accessed on March 11, 2014), that was possible. The invention of the telephone permitted new levels of communication, allowed families connect around the world, and improved military systems, but also served negative consequences, such as breached privacy. If two people wanted to have a conversation, they would have to write letters back and forth, but with the telephone they were able to pick up the receiver, dial the number, and be connected in a matter of minutes. Telephones enabled long-distance communication, which allowed families to converse despite their location. Military officials and soldiers were also able to stay in touch through field telephones as well as keep contact with the president. Although telephones were originally placed in general stores or other major city locations and homes/neighborhoods that were wired (Elon.edu ‘World Changes Due to the Telephone’ accessed on April 2, 2014), telephones became commonly used in homes in the early twentieth century when telephones began to connect internationally.
