The detrimental effects of war and post-war life left many people questioning if genuine people still existed in the world. This was shown by two extremely influential writers of this time period, F. Scott Fitzgerald and E.E. Cummings, whose engrossment in the insincere life of others inspired and influenced them to write on it. F. Scott Fitzgerald, writer of the novel The Great Gatsby, and E.E. Cummings, writer of the poem “anyone lived in a pretty how town”, convey a similar theme in their works through the use of tone, imagery, and motifs.

    Jordyn Allen 7 May 2015 British Literature Final Percy Shelley & The Sublime/Beautiful: Percy Shelley is an author of the Romantic era which best depicts the relationship and connectivity of the two most adverse elements represented as a core to the Romantic intellect: the sublime and the beautiful. Percey Shelley expresses the junction of these two elements through the intellect and imagination of the human mind, as well as through nature and its fundamentals. This phenomenon may be most recognizable within the works of Mont Blanc, Hymn to Intellectual Beauty, and Ode to a West Wind.

For, the way that he speaks sometimes, can be startling and he may use words that you do not know the definitions to. Also, I would think it is amazing, about how smart he is. Another, reason why I would not be friends with Freak is, because, I find it a little strange when he hops onto Max’s shoulders in the middle of class, “Next thing I know, Freak has his hands on my shoulders and he’s tugging at me in a way that I know means “stand up,” and so I do it, I stand right up in class and I can see Mrs. Donelli’s eyes getting bigger and bigger.” Lastly, my first impression on “Freak the Mighty”, I would find it odd that Freak rides high on Max’s shoulders, but it would also be nice to see Max doing this for Freak.
