Huckleberry Finn

Wealth

Love

Friendship

At the heart of the novel is the doubtful but deepest friendship between Huck and Jim. It is through his companionship with Jim and their adventures together on the river that Huck really finds himself. He is repeatedly tackled with the question of right and wrong and he learns to stay true to himself and go after his own heart, despite of usual, public, or spiritual background. Huck's senses hardly ever fail him. Huck and Jim's friendship experience a lot of twists and turns along with the journey the two take down the Mississippi River. With each adventure their closeness grew stronger from their meet with the Duke and the King to the riverboat scene the friendship built one building block at a time. During the novel Jim makes situations to the humanity that Huck shows him, but Huck seems unaware to their new established friendship. Huck and Jim's friendship started as a suitable partnership, but they became best buds because of their conditions. The theme of friendship was a major portion of the events that took place in the novel.

Their Eyes Were Watching God is about how Janie finds a strong sense of self and comes to value her freedom. On the other hand, her journey toward enlightenment is not undertaken alone. The gender differences that Hurston supports require that men and women supply each other things that they need but do not own. Janie sees satisfying relationships as common and based on mutual respect, as shown in her relationship with Tea Cake, which lifted Janie up into happiness after her marriage with Logan and Jody because it was a huge change to her. At the end, Janie is alone at the end and still seems to be happy. She released herself from her unpleasant and terrible relationships with Logan and Jody, who held back her personal journey. Through her relationship with Tea Cake, Janie experiences true enlightenment and becomes safe in her independence. She feels a deep connection with others around her and even feels that the spirit of Tea Cake is still with her, which makes her feel like she isn’t alone.

One of the biggest topics in The Great Gatsby is wealth, mainly, how the new millionaires of the 1920s alike and how they are different to the old upper classes of the country’s wealthiest families. In the book, West Egg and its denizens symbolize the newly rich, while East Egg and its denizens, especially Daisy and Tom, represent the old aristocracy. Fitzgerald shows the newly rich as being offensive, showy, and lacking in social grace and taste. Gatsby, for example, lives in a huge mansion, wears a pink suit, and drives a Rolls-Royce. In contrast, the old aristocracy possesses grace, taste, and elegance. What the old aristocracy possesses in taste, on the other hand, it doesn’t in heart, as the East Eggers demonstrate themselves careless, selfish bullies who are so used to money’s capability to relieve their minds that they never concern about hurting others. Gatsby, however, whose recent wealth derives from criminal activity, has a truthful and loyal heart. Ironically, Gatsby’s good qualities lead to his death because he takes the blame for killing Myrtle rather than letting Daisy be punished. Also, Buchanans’ bad qualities allow them to take themselves away from the disaster not only physically but sensitively.
