36.3936 "The Great Gatsby" and the Materialism and Self-Destruction of the 1920s.
This essay discusses "The Great Gatsby" in the context of the economic realities of the 1920s. The novel reflected the pursuit of greed and ambition in America in the 1920s. While the period represented wealth and prosperity for many Americans, for others it entailed only poverty and misery. It was a time, therefore, of duality and contradiction. The pursuit of wealth itself led to self-destruction. The characters in "The Great Gatsby" very much reflect the values and energies of the 1920s, as well as the emptiness that superficiality and materialism spawn. 7 pgs. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

37.4040 The Darkness Within: Imagining Edgar Allen Poe.
This paper explores two stories by Edgar Allen Poe, "The Fall of the House of Usher", and "The Pit and the Pendulum". These stories are considered in relation to a poem Poe wrote called, For Annie, a verse written for a friend of his, Annie Richmond. The theme of this paper is about "darkness," where darkness is a metaphor that imbues Poe's horror stories with themes of consciousness and experiences with terror. Because Poe was especially interested in the susceptibility of the imagination, this paper attempts to "imagine" Edgar Allen Poe in relation to varying metaphors of darkness that characterize the author's life and literature. 10 pgs.
