From the Paper:

"The American Dream and society's personal goals are only cycles that can eventually lead to realizations or personal destruction. Various comments regarding time and its nonstop progression exemplify this theme in The Great Gatsby. s the time and seasons change, Gatsby's life is bound for destruction. But Nick makes more responsible judgments and realizations as time moves ahead. The time motif is a cycle of changing seasons, and it is a cycle of personal dreams and lives."

I am a 2001 graduate and Valedictorian (and also made a 5, the highest, on my AP English Senior National Exam...yeah...just trying to show the credentials here) in search of a little extra money to help me out. I considered majoring in English/Journalism but decided on computer art because I love my iMac so much. I also love Jeff Buckley, Radiohead and Interpol... Also of note, though these papers are of A+ caliber, they are also written in a believable format that should ring genuine to most professors and teachers as opposed to other papers of PhD. and meticulous scientific research quality which may be viewed as false/"too good" (at least in my book as a student)....thanks! :)
