.... her. The only recollection of that incident was my mom was crying for a long time. After my dad told her we moved into my grandma’s house, also in Northern Virginia, for a few months. My mom said after they got divorced my mood changed. I became very emotional and scared of guys who tried to date her. I remember making up reasons why she should stay home with me.

Later in the novel the government tries even more drastic methods of control. Big Brother’s predicti .....

The industrial boom of the 1920s drew many workers off the farm and into the cities. Machinery, while increasing productivity, was very expensive. Demand for food, though, stayed relatively constant .....

.... his chance has passed and everything is as it should be. This is shown with Nick’s insight, “…His dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him… (Pg.189)� Another symbolization of the color green, which contradicts the first, is the meaning “go.� As in a traffic light signal, most people associate green with the word and action “go.� This can be interpreted as meaning Gatsby should go for his dream without hesitation.

.... one of America's leading 20th-century poets and a four-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize. An essentially pastoral poet often associated with rural New England, Frost wrote poems whose philosophical dimensions transcend any region. Although his verse forms are traditional--he often said, in a dig at archival Carl Sandburg, that he would as soon play tennis without a net as write free verse--he was a pioneer in the interplay of rhythm and meter and in the poetic use of the vocabulary and inflections of everyday speech. His poetry is thus both traditional and experimental, regional and universal. After his father's death in 1885, when young .....

Marianne, says of love, "To love is to burn.", and Elinor says: "I do not attempt to deny I .....
