Looking for a good PowerPoint presentation on a book review? One of our writers has prepared a book analysis of “And Then There Were None” by Agatha Christie and created a presentation about it. But before we proceed to watching it, lets find out basic information about the book.

Agatha Christie is considered the queen of detective stories and her novel “And Then There Were None” is recognized as her masterpiece. Since the publication of the novel, the book has reached the 100 million sales milestone. Originally, the book had the title “Ten Little Niggers,” but for the US it was renamed as “And Then There Were None” and all the places the word “niggers” were used in the text were replaced with “little Indians” in order to avoid misunderstandings and adhere to political correctness.

How Is the Concept of “American Dream” Presented in “The Great Gatsby”?

With its depiction of a man rising from poverty to a luxurious life, The Great Gatsby of F. Scott Fitzgerald is a truly American novel. In this book, Fitzgerald seems to glorify the Jazz Age and splendid life of the upper classes, with its parties, cocktails, and dances. Nonetheless, the author’s fascination by the Jazz Age glamour can be deceptive. In fact, as many literary scholars have argued, The Great Gatsby is not at all an ode to the carefree life of those on top: on the contrary, the novel is a statement of illusiveness of the American dream, which can never bring one the happiness and fulfillment it promises.

According to Marius Bewey, the key topic of The Great Gatsby is the withering of the American dream. As Bewley states, “it can be shown that The Great Gatsby offers some of the severest and closest criticism of the American dream that our literature affords.” The novel is not a “pastoral documentary of the Jazz Age,” as Bewly puts it, but a text which analyses the particular features of the American experience in a highly artistic form. In this sense, with its acute social critic and depth, the novel can be seen as one of the greatest masterpieces of the American literature. Continue reading →

Is the novel is a pretty clear case of split personality?

‘The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ wears its Christian morality very prominently on its shoulders. Its message is blatant and clear: humankind has two very distinct sides to its personality, one of God-fearing goodness and one of temptation and evil. A true split personality, a schizophrenic, would have two different personalities, with minimal interactions between the two. Like an angry priest at a lecturn, ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ tells us that the ‘evil side’ is as much a part as the ‘good side’. (And as a result, we must supplicate and constantly beg forgiveness). The one-dimensional Hyde is not a separate personality, he is an enhancement of a side of Jekyll. And Jekyll’s final note testifies to his faith in this interpretation of simple contradictions in personality as Bible-forged absolutes. Continue reading →
