    For those interested. It was an essay about the end of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It might not make sense because I wrote it at 2 in the morning but I hope you enjoy. Here is where I used Bono

    Ever the inspirer extraordinaire, Bono once advised a crowd of fellow Dubliners to “…dream of the world [they would] like to live in…[to] dream out loud….” Such afflatus stimulates passion, and often accomplishment; however, when we fail at this we become dismayed by what could have been, and pine for the opportunities of yore. Is it man’s destiny to fixate upon what he could have hardly failed to grasp? F. Scott Fitzgerald argues yes, concluding The Great Gatsby with a passage that condemns failed men to nostalgic—yet noble—yearning through aureate language, vivid imagery and a well-chosen mix of concrete and abstract diction.




    Funny, I have to start reading this for my English class...

    I liked it a lot, thought it was very good. Fitzgerald is an excellent writer, and it's kinda funny at some times. Very quick and easy read.
  5. It's true....although, I haven't read it in years!

    Hey Casper.
  8. Hey everyone! Well, I have one day left to fully purchase R&H from iTunes (Complete My Album option), as well as Bruce Springsteen Live 1975. I'll be buying a $25 iTunes gift card to buy these things before they go back to full price. I don't mind the boss's live album so much, it's U2's that needs to be completed. I've bought 5 songs from the thing, and I figure I may as well get the rest for $5. Will be back in a bit to talk about the new musical phase in my life which I have discovered that is awesome!

    Ah yes, the ugly sister to JT. Didn't deserve the panning that it got at the time. Probably because it didn't deliver on the massive hype that it would have received post-JT. Some great stuff on there though Hawkmoon, Helter Skelter, God Part II, Van Dieman's...
