The Great Gatsby: Eastern Desires
Number of words: 728 - Number of pages: 3.... to go
back west.
I see now that this has been a
story of the west, after all-Tom
and Gatsby, Daisy and Jordan and
I, were all westerners and and
perhaps we possessed some deficiency
in common which made us subtly

In other words, after finding out what the east was really like, Nick lost

Gatsby came east looking for another type of money - Daisy.
Gatsby and Daisy had last seen each other about five years before, when

The Invisible Man: Man's Tendency To Become Moral Or Immoral
Number of words: 539 - Number of pages: 2.... Man's nemesis, Kemp, brings up
the immorality by saying, "But-! I say! The common conventions of

start "the Epoch of the Invisi .....

I think it is sick that the group of boys made their own gang. The
gang planned to rob people, kill people and take people for ransom. Twain

Dr. Faustus
Number of words: 638 - Number of pages: 3.... reality. When Faustus meets with Mephistopheles (a messenger of the devil) he is frightened and demands a new appearance for his devil servant.
"I charge thee to return and change thy shape; Thou art to ugly to attend on me.
Go, and return an old Franciscan friar; That holy shape becomes a devil best." (Marlowe p.14)
