Character Sketch – Daisy The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald Daisy Buchanan is a beautiful young woman from Louisville. She is the cousin of the novel’s narrator Nick Carrayway and the love interest of Jay Gatsby. She is married to an extremely rich and arrogant man called Tom Buchanan. Tom and Nick are acquaintances from college. Daisy-s appearance and the long-lasting impression she left on men is described through her voice by her cousin Nick. I looked back at my cousin, who began to ask me questions in her low, thrilling voice. It was the kind of voice that the ear follows up and down, as if each speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again. Her face was sad and lovely with bright things in it, bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth, but there was an excitement in her voice that men who had cared for her found difficult to forget: a singing compulsion. Jay Gatsby i...

Character sketch Tom Buchanan The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fizgerald Thomas ,,Tom" Buchanan is a wealthy husband of Daisy Buchanan. They live on East Egg and are both connected to Nick Carraway, the novel's narrator. Daisy is Nick's cousin and Tom was once a member of his social club at Yale. Tom was a football player, enjoys polo and is a racist. Nick describes Tom's appearance quite well: ,,He was a sturdy straw-haired man of thirty with a rather hard mouth and a supercilious manner. Two shining arrogant eyes had established dominance over his face and gave him the appearance of always leaning aggressively forward. Not even the effeminate swank of his riding clothes could hide the enormous power of that body -- he seemed to fill those glistening boots until he strained the top lacing, and you could see a great pack of muscle shifting when his shoulder moved ...

Anni Sandra Varblane Text Analysis 1 Pille Põiklik October 8, 2013 She Set a Path for a Modern-Day Woman Jordan Baker did not play a primary character in The Great Gatsby and she definitely did not start out as the most likeable one, yet oddly enough, she ended up being my favourite. The reason for that is simple: she portrayed a present-day woman who might have been vain, and at times, careless but she was also fairly independent and knew how to take care of herself in a world where women were thought of as nothing more than merely housewives. I truly respect the qualities she possessed, even tho...
1920. ja 30. aastad hõlmavad endas mõningaid märkimisväärseid sündmusi ja raamatuid. Selle ajastu autorid olid raskustes mõistmaks ühiskonnas toimuivaid muutusi. Osad autorid ülistasid muutusi, samas osad avaldasid pettumust vanade kommete muutmise suhtes Lugemine oli populaarne loov tegevus, mida harrastati eriti talvekuudel, kui teised tegevused polnud võimalikud. Tollal said inimesed peamise info muust maailmast ja toimuvatest sündmustest just paberkandjate näol. Raamatud, ajakirjad ja ajalehed moodustasid tähtsa osa enamuste inimeste elust ja kujundasid suuresti nende üldise harituse. Teadmist klassikast(kirjandus-toim) peeti oluliseks hea hariduse juures. Selle ajastu ajakirjad on täis lühijutustusi ja seriaale(enamasti illustreeritud), et lugejate meelt lahutada. Laste pildiraamatud nagu "The Little Red Hen" ja "Little Black Sambo" (mis oleksid ilmselt tänapäeval poliitiselt ebakorrektsed) olid tollal noorte laste seas väga pop...

Ralph Lauren Ralph Lauren on sündinud 1939. aastal, 14. oktoobril, New Yorgis. Ta on Ameerika moelooja ja ettevõtte juhatuse liige. Tema tuntuim rõiva bränd on Polo Ralph Lauren. Ralphi huvi moe vastu sai alguse juba varajatest noorusaastatest, mil ta ostis endale esimese kallima ülikonna, raha teenides ise pärast kooli töötades. Kuigi ta teadus, et ta saaks enda riideid osta ka mujalt odavamatest poodidest, oli tema kindel veendumus näida stiilne oma ülihinnalistes rõivastes. Tal on see õnnestunud alates 12ndast eluaastast. R. Lauren käis Salanter Academy Jewish Day koolis, enne kui lõpuks lõpetas DeWitt Clinton keskkooli, aastal 1957. Akadeemias oli Lauren tuntud oma klassikaaslaste seas lipsude müümisega. Keskkooli aastaraamatusse oli ta oma pildi alla märkinud, et tema soov on saada miljonäriks. R. Lauren läks Baruch kooli ärindust ja kodanikuadministratsiooni õppima, mis oli riigiülikool New Yorgis. Sealt ta langes välja pär...
Minnesota Ajalugu Esimesed eurooplased, kelle saabumine Minnesotasse on dokumentaalselt tõestatud, olid prantslased Pierre Esprit Radisson ja tema õemees Medard Chouart, sieur de Grosseilliers, kes uurisid 1650. aastal maa põhjaosa. 1679. aastal kuulutas maadeuurija Daniel Greysolon, sieur Duluth, regiooni formaalselt Prantsuse kuningas Louis XIV valduseks. Indiaanlastest asutasid ala Minnesota siuud dakotad. Pärast 1700. aastat saabusid Minnesotasse odzibveid. 1763. aastal pidid prantslased maa loovutama Inglismaale. Suure Louisiana maaostuga said 1803. aastal territooriumi valdajaks Ameerika Ühendriigid. 1819. aastal rajati esimene püsiasula Ft.St. Anthony (praegune Ft. Snelling). 1837. aastal hakkasid idast saabuma suuremad kolonistide hulgad ja 1849. aastal sai Minnesota territooriumi staatuse. Rohkest indiaanisõdade lahingutest oli veriseim 1862. aastal toimunud Woods Lake'i lahing, kus Väikese Vare...

American English Take-home exam 1) Discuss the significance of American English in the English-speaking world. English is one the most widely used languages in the world and globally acknowledged as the lingua franca. It is also the dominant business language. For these facts already, English has a great importance in the today’s world. As the United States of America is one of the leading countries of the world, American English has a certain authority as well. It is now an inescapable fact that America, through its worldwide influence and massive entertainment industry is the mighty power-house that drives the English language. Although British English is considered to be more sophisticated and prestigious than American English, the latter is clearly more featured in television, music, video games and internet, naturally appealing more to English learners than Brit...
