To a significant extent, Sulla, Pompey and Cicero were individuals who allowed situations to occur which led to the fall of the republic. The fall of the Roman republic was more than a single man. It was a culmination of several individual actions, coupled with social conditions that were weighted heavily on Roman society. Though powerful individuals contributed to the fall of the republic, it was not successful in preventing the fall of the republic however, it has significantly maintained control of Rome for an adequate period of time. This is most apparent through Sulla substantial amount of power to increase the power of the senate and gave rise to individuals, also through Pompey’s formation of the first triumvirate with Crassus and Cicero.
Gatsby made up his family background and pretended to be a nobleman. He was very self-abased and this sense of self-abased pushed him to work hard to walk into the world of the Accepted. Daisy was the first “nice” girl Gatsby had ever met. He had come in contact with such people but always with indiscernible barbed wire between. Gatsby found her excitingly desirable.
In F.Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Daisy is a beautiful woman from Louisville Kentucky. After marrying the wealthy Tom Buchanan, she moves to east egg long island. Many men are fascinated with Daisy especially Jay gatsby, who also resides in East egg. After being separated from Daisy for 5 years, Gatsby seeks to reunite with her. Gatsby sees Daisy as the same beautiful and desirable woman that he first met, but she is a shallow and careless person.
After an entire lifetime of hardwork and ambition, greatness does not mean success. In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby, a powerful millionaire, navigates through the struggles of his impoverished childhood leading him to be a renowned figure. Through his adulthood, Gatsby is only motivated by one factor: reuniting with his unrequited love, Daisy Buchanan. While Gatsby devoted his life to becoming successful to meet Daisy’s needs, she spent her time devoted to her husband Tom and their child. Despite having good intentions, Jay Gatsby is not great due to his denialism and his inevitable demise.
In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald the reader watches as Daisy Buchanan evolves in love, confidence in herself and finally we see her facade drop away. In the beginning, Daisy is a very quiet, submissive women and as the book moves forward so does Daisy. She begins to live her life without her husband, something she has never done. Daisy always has thought more about what people think about her, rather than what would be best for her and above all her daughter. Throughout the book Daisy realizes there is more to life than what people think about her and begins to live her life for herself rather than her husband and the public who she is always trying to please.

The Great Gatsby Novel and Films Novels and movies are very different but work together rather well. A movie shows the story and the novel tells it. The Great Gatsby novel goes more in-depth and helps the reader see the rhetorical purpose that F. Scott Fitzgerald wanted to get through. F. Scott Fitzgerald used many rhetorical strategies in The Great Gatsby to get his readers to understand the purpose of this novel, He used Imagery, metaphors, similes, personification, and more. The 1974 film The Great Gatsby did not really capture as much as the novel, it was rather strange and had many random things, and it was more out of order compared to the novel.

The third chapter from the novel the Great Gatsby, in my opinion deserves the title “The Man behind the Myths” due to the many rumors and stories circling him and his ghost like appearances at his parties. Due to the narrator's, Nick, description of Gatsby and his actions during this chapter should be given this name. Throughout this chapter Nick speaks with and overhears many rumors about the party host, Gatsby. Not many people really know he is because he remains hidden within the abundant crowd which consumes his property.
Gatsby was destined to be self consumed and insecure. The only thing that could solve this was, of course, someone else to reinforce his homemade identity, and that someone was Daisy, the golden girl. Daisy exemplified everything Gatsby wanted in life. Five years ago Gatsby met Daisy while he was in the army, they fell in love. With self motivation he uses her to find himself in the world that has created him into the man that he is today.

The creator of the novels The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, This side of Paradise, Tender is the Night and his unfinished novel The Love of the Last Tycoon. Many know him as the creator of The Great Gatsby, many don’t realize he has four other novels along with some short stories. “The twenties were starting to roar, bathtub gin and flaming youth were on everyone’s lips, and the handsome, witty Fitzgerald seemed to be the ideal spokesman for the decade”(“F.

In 1922, a young, educated man by the name of Nick Carraway moves to the village of new money, West Egg in Long Island, New York. Nick is not as rich as the rest of West Egg and lives in a small apartment next to a giant, lavish mansion owned by a mysterious man, known for his parties, Jay Gatsby. Unlike others in West Egg, Nick has connections in East Egg, the village of old money, through his cousin, Daisy, and her unfaithful husband, Tom. One evening, Nick is invited to dinner by Daisy and meets to a woman called Jordan Baker, who he becomes romantically involved with. Time passes, and Nick still knows nothing about his neighbor, until one day he receives an invitation to a party at Gatsby’s house.
Gatsby had everything he ever wanted, minus the girl, Daisy. Gatsby would’ve done anything to get Daisy back. One example of this is when in the story it states, “But it wasn’t a coincidence at all… Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay.” (Fitzgerald 78) This explains how deep Gatsby’s love for Daisy was.
