F. Scott: In my college years I met this girl at Princeton and you could say I was a little more than infatuated with her. I would write to her daily and go out with her as much as she would let me (chuckle like

Mr. Hoopes). She became my main inspiration for Amory Blaine’s first love and Daisy in The Great Gatsby. Betty: What happened to this girl?
F. Scott: I don’t know, we never talked again after college. But then I met my wife Zelda, and she put a ring on it (holds up ring finger).
Betty: How did you get into literature?
F. Scott: Well, when I was fifteen my parents sent me to Newman school, it was a prestigious Catholic prep school in New Jersey. While I was there, a man named Father Sigourney Fay who really noticed my knack for writing and encouraged me to pursue my dreams in literature. Then I continued on to Princeton and was involved with many school papers.
Betty: Was New Jersey your hometown then?
F. Scott: No, I moved around a lot when I was younger. I was born in Minnesota but spent the first decade of my life in Buffalo, New York. When my father was fired from his job at the time, we moved back to Minnesota. But as you know, I moved to New Jersey when I was fifteen. Now I’ve settled in Minnesota with my wife.
Betty: Well, it was a pleasure having you on the show today and I wish you many successes in the future.
F. Scott: Thank you for having me, I’ve had a jake
time. Betty: After this short commercial break we will have Texas Guinan here with us. Betty: Keep it cool with Kool-Aid, the Sunshine drink with Vitamin D. For only 5 cents, make 10 large glasses of this refreshing drink! Betty: Now, let’s give a warm welcome to Texas Guinan! T. Guinan: Hello suckers! Betty: How’s the business world been treating you? T. Guinan: I recently opened the 300 Club in New York and many celebrities have made their appearances, so I’d say I’m doing alright. Betty: On that note, there have been many allegations that you are illegally selling alcohol to patrons at your club, do you have anything to say about this? T. Guinan: I have never sold a drop of alcohol in my life. If there are patrons in my club with alcohol that means they brought it in with them. However, people love the giggle juice we sell. Betty: Were you born in New York? T. Guinan: I was born in Waco, Texas along with my six siblings. But we later moved to Denver, Colorado which is actually where I got a jumpstart on my acting career. I got involved in amateur stage productions and even played the organ in church. Betty: How did you integrate into Hollywood life? T. Guinan: I moved to New York and toured with national vaudevilles with some success, but soon discovered that I was better at acting than singing. I made my début in The Wildcat in 1917. I took a break from film to pursue my career in business. But shortly after I opened the 300 Club, I returned to Hollywood and starred as a fictional version of myself in the film Queen of the Nightclubs and Broadway Thru a Keyhole. Betty: Are you working on any projects at the moment? T. Guinan: As of now, I am planning to go on tour in Europe. Betty: That’s wonderful news! I hope everything goes well for you in Europe! T. Guinan: Thank you! It’s been marvelous! Betty: It’s been the cat's meow having you on this show tonight, Texas. We now hold this program for another commercial break… Beware of irritation with Lucky Strike cigarettes. Toasting removes dangerous irritants that cause throat irritation and coughing. “It’s Toasted.” Thank you all for listening to this broadcast of KDKA, good night and good luck!
Caudle, Bill. "F. Scott Fitzgerald Walking Tour of St. Paul, MN". January 8, 2003. September 9, 2003 <http://home.att.net/~caudle/fscotwlk.htm>
At the tender age of thirteen, Fitzgerald attended the St. Paul Academy. The boring aspects of academics, perhaps, could be the reason Fitzgerald got so into his writing hobby. The academy saw his potential and mistakenly encouraged his passion for writing over his schoolwork. His writing was also strongly encouraged by his mentor, Father Sigourney Fay, at the catholic prep school he began attending at the age of fifteen.
“Paradise Found and Lost” from Daniel J. Boorstin’s The Discoverers, embodies Columbus’ emotions, ideas, and hopes. Boorstin, a former Librarian of Congress, leads the reader through one man’s struggles as he tries to find a Western Passage to the wealth of the East. After reading “Paradise Found and Lost,” I was enlightened about Columbus’ tenacious spirit as he repeatedly fails to find the passage to Asia. Boorstin title of this essay is quite apropos because Columbus discovers a paradise but is unable to see what is before him for his vision is too jaded by his ambition.
Like many of the greatest writers of all time F. Scott Fitzgerald implemented many of his own life experiences into his books. Fitzgerald’s life was very difficult and plagued with alcoholism, which greatly affected his relationship with his wife Zelda and his writing. Many of his most famous books, The Great Gatsby, This Side of Paradise, and Tender is the Night show the 1920’s culture that Fitzgerald lived around. The modernist period of the 1920’s was reflected in F. Scott Fitzgeralds marriage to Zelda through the now critically acclaimed The Great Gatsby.
When civilians look at the men and women in the military, they think of strength, courage, and freedom. When those same men and women get out, civilians should treat them with respect, honor, and dignity. In their own minds however, it may be a different story. A loss of strength, a lack of courage, and a never-ending battle within that keeps them all but free. In the music video “Wrong Side of Heaven”, FFDP successfully argues that homeless veterans and veterans with PTSD need assistance. Through the use of visual aspects, literary devices, and symbolism, FFDP shows that their music video holds a strong argument.
Kristiana Kahakauwila's, a local Hawaiian brought up in California, perspective view of Hawaii is not the one we visually outwardly recognize and perceive in a tourist brochure, but paints a vivid picture of a modern, cutting edge Hawai`i. The short story "This Is Paradise", the ironically titled debut story accumulation, by Kahakauwila, tell the story of a group narrative that enacts a bit like a Greek ensemble of voices: the local working class women of Waikiki, who proximately observe and verbally meddle and confront a careless, puerile youthful tourist, named Susan, who is attracted to the more foreboding side of the city's nightlife. In this designation story, Susan is quieted into innocent separated by her paradisiacal circumventions, lulled into poor, unsafe naïve culls. Kahakauwila closes her story on a dismal somber note, where the chorus, do to little too late of what would have been ideal, to the impairment of all. Stereotype, territorial, acceptance, and unity, delineates and depicts the circadian lives of Hawaiian native locals, and the relationships with the neglectful, candid tourists, all while investigating and exploring the pressure tension intrinsically in racial and class division, and the wide hole in recognition between the battle between the traditional Hawaiian societal culture and the cutting edge modern world infringing on its shores.
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born in St. Paul Minnesota on September 24, 1896. His parents were Mary McQuillan and Edward Fitzgerald. Francis was the lone son of the couple however they had a daughter named Annabel who was five years younger than Francis. The Fitzgerald’s, who were Catholics, lived an upper-middle class lifestyle (Merriman). Francis attended St. Paul Academy where his writing career began. He penned “The Mystery of the Raymond Mortgage” which was a short story that was printed in the school newspaper when he was thirteen. When he was fifteen, his parents sent him to a prestigious catholic school known as Newman School. Incidentally, he met Father Sigourney Fay, who encouraged Fitzgerald to pursue a writing career (Biography.com Staff).
Scott Fitzgerald was a unique character with a very opinionated mind, his writings speaks to many Americans all over the world because they felt his pain, lust and sorrow through out his novel. He aspired to become a well known author, and thats exactly what he accomplished. The History Channel explains Fitzgerald life and how he was raised "His father taught him to always be a gentleman to those around him and his mother sent him to prep school to better enhance that" ( The Great American Dreamer). He passed time in his new school while he was not learning or studying, he would write plays and short stories. After prep school he attended Princeton, where he wrote many literary magazines and even joined the Triangle Club for avid writers.
The Sweet Hereafter has quite the unique narrative structure, that completely differs from the repeated styles of Hollywood storytelling. Contrast to an average storyline with a rising action, climax, and falling action, the film constructs its scenes with skewed notions on the basic fundamentals of chronological order. This forces the audience to pay close attention to the different time zones throughout the movie, to understand how they relate to the current events that foreshadow what’s next in the film. For example, the climax of the bus crash that kills many of the towns children, is revealed relatively early on in the film, immediately building suspense and making you wonder what could be next for the rising action if I already know what happened.
F. Scott Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896, in St. Paul. Minnesota. His parents were Mary “Mollie” McQuillan and Edward Fitzgerald. Mary came from a wealthy family, while Edward held multiple failed careers; causing the family to bounce between states. Fitzgerald went to school at St. Paul’s Academy, then on to the Newman School, and finally to Princeton. Obsessed with writing, Fitzgerald dropped out of University, then decided to join the US Army. Stationed at Camp Sheridan as a second lieutenant, Fitzgerald continued writing and finished his first novel, The Romantic Egotist. The original novel was rejected, but later accepted as, This Side of Paradise, turning Fitzgerald into an “overnight success.” The novel success allowed for Fitzgerald and Zelda Sayre to get married. The couple had one child, Frances Scott “Scottie” Fitzgerald, but were not happy. After their move to Europe, Zelda suffered a nervous breakdown. She spent most of the rest of her life in metal health hospitals. Later in his life, Fitzgerald suffered from alcoholism, and died from a heart attack in 1940.
The third religious group to be discussed will be Heaven’s Gate, Heaven’s Gate was a religious group in which it’s members killed themselves in March 1997, (Davis, 2000). This act was seen by the group as a way for them to reach salvation, which they called, “… the literal heavens,” (Davis, 2000, pg 241). The act of killing oneself as a way to reach salvation is something that is not seen in mainstream religions, in fact death is viewed as something to be feared by the majority of society. But wanting to reach salvation is something that is seen in most religions, and it is also something that is seen in most fundamental religions such as Gloriavale. But each religion seems to have their own way in which they believe they will reach salvation.

She was named the school’s top literature student her senior year and made many contributions to its newspaper. She was also widely liked and reached a high level of popularity, not only for her beauty and background, but her kindness and ambition as well.

In 1897, consequently to the collapse of Edwards business, the family moved to New York, in order for Edward to take up a job as a salesman for Proctor and Gamble. Be that as it may, their moved was brief after Edward was let go from his employment in 1908, inciting a move back the St. Paul where the Fitzgerald’s lived off the McQuillan family fortune, (Fitzgerald, Bruccoli and Baughman, 1995). For the next 14 years, Scott invested the larger part of his time at boarding school, at Princeton University, in the army, and in New York City (Ibid, 1995). Fitzgerald’s writing career began to take off in 1920 after the publication of his first novel, This Side of Paradise (Bruccoli and Smith, 1981). The novel received glowing reviews (Ibid, 1981) and secured Fitzgerald’s place as one of the country’s most promising young
In Milton's Paradise Lost, the two images of sex in Books IV and IX sharply contrast one another in order to show the dichotomy of love and lust. The first act of sex is seen in Book IV and represents holy love. Before going into their bower, Adam and Eve make sure to praise God. This awe for their maker is seen when Adam and Eve "both stood,/Both turned, and under open sky adored/The God that made both sky, air, earth and Heav'n" (IV. 720-2). Even the heavens are in unison with Adam and Eve's love. While Eve decorates their "nuptial bed," there are "heaven'ly choirs" singing the "hymnenean sung" (IV. 709, -10). This love of Adam and Eve's is not "loveless, joyless, unendeared" but instead is "loyal, just, and pure" (IV. 766, 755). After their sacred act of sex, Adam and Eve are enraptured with joy and peace. They are "lulled by nightingales" and fall asleep naked, embracing one another (IV. 771). All is perfect in Paradise, but not for long.
