Hi guys I need help in my work... I do not want to copy so do not close this topic. I want to write on:

Discuss the theme appearance vs reality in relation to both the great gatsby and hamlet.

I have some points which I wrote... if you have something in your mind share with me.

Thank you

I would like it if you would share your points with us, first.

Also, I have a question (or a clarification, whichever you prefer):
By "the great gatsby and hamlet" do you mean The Great Gatsby and Hamlet, or, do you mean, the great Gatsby and Hamlet, using the "great" as an adjective describing the books. I'm sure it's the former, but I have to ask, because Gadsby is a separate book some people mistake, and call Gatsby.

You it is The Great Gatsby and Hamlet... look I do not have points which related to this topic.. I just think.. can you give me some point or hint than I will join you to share my points tooo

Thank you

Fine, we'll take turns.
(after all, this is your project, and we are here to help you, not do the work)

The Great Gatsby:
Gatsby surrrounds himself with friends (appearance), yet he is lonely (reality).

Hamlet
As the play is told Hamlet finds out his father was murdered by the recently crowned king. The theme that remains constant throughout the play is appearance versus reality. Things within the play appear to be true and honest but in reality are infested with evil. Many of the characters within the play hide behind a mask of falseness. Four of the main characters that hid behind this mask are Polonius, Rosencrantz (Guildenstern), the king Cluadius. From behind this mask they give the impression of a person who is sincere and genuine, in reality they are plagued with lies and evil. There appearance will make it very difficult for Hamlet to uncover the truth, the characters hide behind.


CAN YOU HELP ME MORE WITH The Great Gatsby

Good, we're making progress.
What you said on Hamplet is well worded and works with your topic very well. Don't give up on yourself so easily.

I'll expand upon what I said earlier.
The Great Gatsby
Gatsby surrounds himself with friends throughout the entire story. He throws huge parties quite often, inviting everyone in town and making a name for himself. However, he isn't at the parties. He is there, surrounded by all of these people, drinking, laughing, having a great time. However, they are not his friends. He does not know them, and only has them physically there to hid his own emotional loneliness for another day longer. He does not enjoy these social events; he creates a fasade to show otherwise. He is surrounded by all of these people, entirely alone. He wears a smile while he feels eternal loneliness. Instead of being with friends, he is in reality only poisoning himself, and causing everything that could be positive around him to be filled with negative emotions.

It's "well-worded" because it has been plagiarized from this site:

Hamlet - Appearance vs. Reality (http://www.field-of-themes.com/shakespeare/essays/Ehamlet3.htm)

Btw, "fasade" is spelled "facade."

Hey I am just asking can we describe hamlet friendship with horatio and Gatsby and nick frienship?

Did you read the play and the book? What do YOU think?

Don't plagiarize off web sites.

What you posted already was from that site:

"hamlet

You are not a native-English speaker? Which country are you in? Is this paper for an ESL class?

You for esl class... I am from afghanistan... can you help me?

ya for esl class.....I am from afghanistan...can you help me?
You want to write about this? "hamlet friendship with horatio and Gatsby and nick frienship"

@Wondergirl: Good find, and thanks for the correction on "facade" (I also noticed I spelled Hamlet with a "p"! =P)

@lucky_girl:
Well, I asked for your input on Hamlet, not something you got from another site. This is your project, and I am choosing to help you in my free time. The least you could do is provide a little effort on this. You said you have work done on it, the fact that you aren't willing to share tells me that you might not have done any work at all.

Until we figure out what is really going on here (a ploy at plagerism, perhaps?) I don't think I should give you any more work.
People from all around plagarize, it isn't limited to America, and it doesn't exclude Afghanistan.

You came here for help. If you have any work, even if you don't think it is good, tell us, and we can help you make it better. However, you have to try to do some real work.

no... I want to write on appearance vs reality in relation of both The Great Gatsby and Hamlet... I read books but don't know so well how to write in proper way.

Thank you

no...i want to write on appearance vs reality in relation of both The Great Gatsby and Hamlet...i read books but don't know so well how to write in proper way.

thank you
What was fake (appearance) and what was real in Hamlet? And in Gatsby?

i read books but don't know so well how to write in proper way.

thank you

That is fine. Tell us what you have, even if it isn't properly formatted, we can make it better.
We are here to help you with your work, not to do it for you.

Talk about Gatsby's parties to which he invited supposed friends, parties that he did not even attend (fake, appearance) and compare that with his real friendship with Nick, his next-door neighbor. Why were Gatsby and Nick friends?

parties = appearance
Nick = real

Hamlet illness was fake and in Gatsby he was lonely and he was just wearing smile but was not happy

Because gatsby wanted to meet daisy and he wanted to get close to daisy

hamlet illness was fake and in Gatsby he was lonely and he was just wearing smile but was not happy
Why was Gatsby lonely?

What illness did Hamlet have? Why do you think it was fake? (I disagree.)

Yes, you're right. Gatsby wanted Daisy and was lonely. Why did Gatsby have big parties with lots of people and he didn't even go to the parties?

I think he does not want to feel alone. He wanted to saw he is rich. I am not sure

Hamlet illness was fake he was just showing that he is sick, he wanted claudies and everyone else think he is sick. So he can find out proof king death

i think he does not want to feel alone. he wanted to saw he is rich. i am not sure
Yes, he wants to impress people. He wants to be a big party man. He wants people to thank him and praise him for his wonderful parties. He wants to impress Daisy who is a party person.

hamlet illness was fake he was just showing that he is sick, he wanted claudies and everyone else think he is sick. so he can find out proof king death
His illness was a mental illness and, yes, he wanted to find out why his father died. Who did Hamlet suspect of killing his father?

Claudies...

claudies...
Did Claudius kill the old king? If so, how?

Why does Hamlet hate Claudius?

Because claudies kills his father and married with his mother

because claudies kills his father and married with his mother
How does that fit into the theme of appearance vs. reality?

You thts true it does not fit to appearance vs. reality... so what else can be fit??

ya thts true it does not fit to appearance vs. reality....so what else can be fit????
Appearance to Claudius that Hamlet is acting strangely because he is madly in love with Ophelia vs. reality that Hamlet is obsessed with the murder of his father

I have to write 1000 words.

i have to write 1000 words.
That's five typed (double-spaced) pages. When is it due?

So I will write little bit of both of them.

Today...

so i will write little bit of both of them.
Both Hamlet and Gatsby were lonely men, but for different reasons.

today....
When did you get the assignment??

It's due today? What time, and how long do you have? (as Afghanastan is a different time, so I'm unsure).

I'm sure you didn't get a 1000 word assignment with only one day to prepare.

You should have done it earlier, but I'm not going to preach to you because I procrastinate too xD

Well, good luck!
Don't cut corners, use plenty of adjectives, and get it done!

After 5 hours.

Just got yesterday morning.

just got yesterday morning.
No ESL teacher will give this very difficult assignment to students to be due in one day. In my high school, we would have been given two weeks at least.

Now, be honest. When did you get the assignment?

She gave me yesterday... we read two of books before. That time she told us I will give you assignment so make sure you will work on that.

she gave me yesterday...we read two of books before. that time she told us i will give you assignment so make sure you will work on that.
I am a teacher, a librarian, and a published writer. I could not write 1000 words for this paper in only one day's time. If I were an ESL student, it would be impossible. Your teacher is wrong.

I know that... I started to write.. I have question should I write both gatsby and hamlet together or can I write first gatsby and than about hamlet.

Can you give me some tips to make sure in essay.

i know that....i started to write..i have question should i write both gatsby and hamlet together or can i write first gatsby and than about hamlet.

You can write two separate sections, or you can compare Hamlet to Gatsby. I cannot help you unless you write it and I proofread it. This assignment is too difficult for an ESL student for one day.

She did not say compare and contrast... so I will write differently... anyways thank you so much for your help... can you give me some hints for gatsby.

she did not say compare and contrast...so i will write differently...anyways thank you so much for your help...can you give me some hints for gatsby.
HelpinHere gave you this on the first page --

I'll expand upon what I said earlier.

HelpinHere agrees: Yep, save yourself some work! PS: I see you corrected my spelling! ;)
I could never forget about having read something that well-written and of such a big help to a struggling ESL student. I may go back to grad school if you will stick around!

Well, thanks much for the compliment!

I didn't think it was that great. I just read the book not too long ago, had a slightly similar project (symbolism), so it was in my head.

You can go back to grad school! I'm not saying we can't use your help, but you should still put yourself first!


Anyway, if your ESL teacher gave you a 1000 word assignment, and only one day to complete it, that is too harsh.
I wish you luck, but I won't blame you if don't finish, or it isn't the best paper ever written.

Come back and let us know how you did on it after it's due!

You can go back to grad school! I'm not saying we can't use your help, but you should still put yourself first!
I meant that you are here to help me too should I return to grad school. Maybe, though, one real and one honorary master's degree are enough.
