Themes of hope, success, and wealth overpower The Great Gatsby, leaving the reader with a new way to look at the roaring twenties, showing that not everything was good in this era. F. Scott Fitzgerald creates the characters in this book to live and recreate past memories and relationships. This was evident with Gatsby and Daisy’s relationship, Tom and Daisy’s struggling marriage, and Gatsby expecting so much of Daisy and wanting her to be the person she once was. The theme of this novel is to acknowledge the past, but do not recreate and live in the past because then you will not be living in the present, taking advantage of new opportunities.
Any novel or story needs strong major characters to create a logical plot line and to keep the reader engaged in the characters’ conflicts. With that said, minor characters can have just as big of an impact on a story as major characters do; as they sometimes act as an important symbol, or add minute but essential meaning to a story line. In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald uses the minor characters, George Wilson, Meyer Wolfsheim, and Pammy Buchanan to provide insight into the life of Jay Gatsby himself.
Was F. Scott Fitzgerald's character Jay Gatsby really great? No, Jay Gatsby isn’t all that great, he is a man who will stop at nothing to get back a girl that he once loved and obsessed over.

Today, Fountain Park stands out as one of Madison’s most visited landmarks. It is often used for community events and even wedding ceremonies for couples who desire to be married in front of the great Broadway Fountain.

During the Christmas season, the fountain is even decorated with Christmas lights and ornamentation (“Parks”). It sounds like it would definitely be worth the visit.
Thesis: How does F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, The Great Gatsby, compares the American Dream in today's generation and back in the 1920's-30's? What did the American Dream really mean and why? So why did this issue happen? Do you think America can change in the future? What is the american dream really about? When did the phrase: ‘american dream’ started? Have you ever wondered what the 20s and 30s were like back then? How can this so called dream ever bring hope to our country? These are all the questions I would like to know myself. I’ve found three online sources & one source from the novel that can help explain about the 20th century, the Gatsby novel, today's generation, and about Mr.Gatsby from the book.

Scott Fitzgerald is an author known to use a lot of symbolism in his writings. In his famous novel, “the Great Gatsby”, Fitzgerald uses the color green to represent various things. His use of the color green represents mostly what Gatsby desires most in life, but he also includes it to represent little things that need thinking to figure out.
As Matthew J. Bruccoli noted: “An essential aspect of the American-ness and the historicity of The Great Gatsby is that it is about money. The Land of Opportunity promised the chance for financial success.” (p. xi) The Great Gatsby is indeed about money, but it also explores its aftermath of greed. Fitzgerald detailed the corruption, deceit and illegality of life that soon pursued “the dream”. However, Fitzgerald entitles the reader to the freedom to decide whether or not the dream was ever free of corruption.

‘An Inspector Calls’ was written during the last year of the Second World War by J. B. Priestley, and was first performed in the Soviet Union in 1945. When it was first performed in the UK in 1946 it was labelled boring and one critic, Lionel Hale, who wrote for the Daily Mail, said it had a ‘fatal dead-end’. Despite this, Priestley was very successful and well-known for writing plays in a very short period of time. This essay will discuss how appropriate the title is, especially relating to Inspector Goole, and how far he is the central character of the play.
