Huh. (1:34) Smile city, smile smile smile city. X8 (1:56) Look. These paths are paved with plastic While yours are paved with gold Highway coming, trading people for a road Wolf blowin houses made of straw How the… president goin help em when elected by the mob I write my wish to right the riches wrongs, To fight with fists up, to tear the walls down, Stick, up for what's right, n to be heard loud, But, the bigger problem here, ain't even around The tribes were separated by outsiders to the land Some were given power while the rest suppressed and killed But even those with power still controlled by western hands How the fuck we going be proud to be the cause of all these deaths Oh we think we civilized because we are the west But I ain't seen more civil eyes than those with nothing left all I see are dimple smiles from those who live with less. Bless. Smile city. Smile smile smile city. X4

the great Gatsby Cauê For English class Cover art photo provided by JFL on Unsplash: https://unsplash.com/@wallsbyjfl Bread by Charles G. Norris Loyal Books Bread by Charles G. Norris reads like a working class Great Gatsby with a tragic female main character. The author is said to have influenced F. Scott Fitzgerald. There is a kind of cadence to the writing, and arc to the story where this can be felt in both similarity and contrast. It follows the life of a woman from young adulthood to middle age between the years of 1905 to 1922 in New York City. She is a stenographer, has chosen the then taboo path of a “wage earner” as opposed to that of mother/wife/homemaker. The descriptions of the inner workings of a publishing house in a time when the printed word was still the apex of information technology are vivid. The social and domestic situations are touching and emotionally telling of how, however much things change, they also stay the same. The metaphor of “Bread” is quaintly heavy handed. “Dedicated to the working women of America”, Norris gives us the “straight dope” in this depiction of life in New York City in the early 20th century The Great Gatsby Audiobook F. Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is set in the Thundering Twenties and follows Scratch Carraway, a young fellow who moves to Long Island, New York. He becomes entranced by his secretive and affluent neighbor, Jay Gatsby, who tosses extravagant gatherings. Gatsby is infatuated with Daisy Buchanan, Scratch's cousin, and looks to revive a sentiment they had a long time previously. Notwithstanding, Daisy is hitched to Tom Buchanan, a rich and self-important man. As the story unfurls, Gatsby's glorified fantasy about winning Daisy back prompts grievous outcomes. The novel investigates subjects of the Pursuit of happiness, social class, love, and the ruining impact of abundance. It eventually depicts the frustration of the people who pursue out of reach dreams. - Summary by Dream Audio Books The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald Set in 1925, this is a novel of the Jazz Age; of ambition, of the careless rich, of wild parties and flappers and bootleg booze; and the efforts of a dreamer to reunite with his lost love. - Summary by Kara
