Something is rotten in the state of BHS

After watching the 3 different versions of Hamlet, I have decided that Branagh's version because it stays more true to the text. Branagh does a great job of introducing an eerie mood as the story begins. He uses bells to signal midnight and emphasize the eeire mood created by the setting. I also liked how Branagh emphasizes Hamlets grief by his dark clothes in contrast with everyone else's colorful wardrobe, and having him on a departs isolated place while everyone celebrates the wedding. Also I like how Branagh stays true to the text.

The Lost Art Of Letter Writing

Dear Daisy,

Five years had gone by, since the last time I heard your melodic voice. And although throughout this time I have accomplished a lot, I have yet to remove your memory from my heart. War may have separated us at the peak of our romance, but I knew the passion that united us was still alive. After the war, I spent years searching for anything that might point to your direction. And now we've finally got the chance to rekindle our passion. We have already shared a glimpse of how marvelous our lives would be if we could be together. We overcame war, distance, and overall time, now the only obstacle between us is Tom. As soon as we can rid ourselves from him, we would be back to how it was. Just you and me, forever, just one step away from the dream.

Sincerely,
Jay Gatsby

Digging into Chapter 3: Passage 4

Passage 4 again gives deeper insight into the party, the atmosphere and the people attending it, as well as a bit more of Nick's own character. The passage once again contrasts the old men against the young girls,who seem to be there to associate with the rich old men. The fact that the some girls were "dancing induvidualisticly" reflects the new 1920's freedom available for women. And as the passage proceeds we see how Nick becomes more interested and easily amused by the scenery(planned entertainment and people's "stunts"). The passage also shows the great amount of alcohol, in the party and inside Nick's body. Now that Nick is drunk he starts to enjoy himself: the alcohol makes the shallow conversations,people and jazz more enjoyable to him. Suggesting that these were not nearly as amusing while he was sober.
