Description Report Fraud
Ford Opera Coupe, Blue, for sale in Miami, Florida, for $18,500.
Deluxe"Unrestored" Original
This Car originated new in Idaho. It was driven very little until 1951 +/ - It was parked in a farm building shop and was covered for about 35 years (1986) when the farm was liquidated and foreclosed on. Mr. Joe Caputo an antique car collector and dealer bought this car and took it to Chittenango, N. Y. The original mileage at the time was 31,500 miles. It was easy to get running and he did some minor work. IE: rechromed bumpers, blended some paint on fenders, etc. However the odometer was frozen, so he kept a log on miles driven. The interior was original and in good enough condition that it was not touched. It is that way today, original 1941 interior. The trunk is all original with the original "Ford" Spare Tire. The motor is the original motor and has not even been cleaned or rebuilt. The outside paint as you see it is about 70% the original 1941 factory paint. In 1998 this car was traded to one Daniel J. Kelsey of Auburn, N. Y. At this time the log showed about 44,500 miles driven. Mr. Kelsey had a new odometer installed with a zero reading. He also added vintage aftermarket turn signals to the vehicle. In 2003, Mr. Kelsey became very ill and asked Joe Caputo to take the car back and sell it for him. He advertised it on the internet and on September 10th, 2003, it was purchased by, Theodore C. (Ted) Parker, Jr. of Millsboro, Delaware. The odometer now reads 02755 as of 10/30/08 making the actual mileage on car and motor approximately 48,000 miles. As it is about as original as can be, I plan on leaving it that way. A few minor acceptable upgrades have been done. Such as; radiator and hoses, rebuilt starter and generator, repair exhaust manifolds and new muffler, and a tune up. all parts are original ford parts. Amazingly everything works on this car, even the wind up clock on the dash. It stands appraised in it's current condition as a #3 driver. Before this sale, Mr. Caputo had all new brakes installed, a new front floor mat, and 4 new wide whitewall tires and a complete maintenance done.
Special note of interest;
The "Flop down' back seats are what makes this an "Opera Coupe".
Ford had a limited production of about 10,500 of these cars in 1941.
Of these, less than half were "Super/Deluxe".

The River House
Online Reservations
4 of us went out for my Mom's birthday and had a very nice time. The food was wonderful and our server knew just when to come with water refills and the courses were well spaced. I will definitely be back.
Our dinner at the River House was AMAZING! It was probably one of the best meals we have ever had. We had the soup of the day - Sour Cream and Chive (it was outstanding!), crab cakes (appetizer) and the Atlantic salmon (Entree). The salmon was delicious as well as the rice and brussels that it came with. This was our first visit and will not be our last. We can't wait to return. We had a look at the brunch menu and it looks Delicious! Our compliments to the Chef!
Fantastic dinner and atmosphere, as usual. This time we sat on the "wine bar" side of the house, with it's guilded ceilings and dark wood. Beautiful spot.
Always wanted to try the Riverhouse and I am very glad we did! Loved the brunch, service and atmosphere. Will be back for sure.
We enjoyed our Sunday Brunch here very much. The setting is very nice and we were really enthralled with the original art that adorned the walls. The food and food prep was of a very high quality (in-house smoked salmon bennie, egg frittata, waffles, fresh preserves and compotes). The service was enthusiastic, efficient, and very pleasant.
Had a wonderfull evening with friends the the reasturant was just what we needed ,The sercice and food was wonderfull .
River House has always been a favourite of ours. We love their new brunch menu!
The prime rib was awesome and I love that if you want a glass of wine you have a choice between 6 oz and 9 oz. Excellent service too.Highly recommend it.
A great place for a quiet dinner with friends and family. We enjoyed the fact that we were able to talk and enjoy the comfortable ambiance.. The food was so tasty. The only complaint was that for the price of $35.00 a plate, a bit more greens on the plate and some fresh bread served with dinner would justify the price. I do not have a big appetite and I was able to eat everything on my plate.
This is a nice location in an old house. Since there was not much selection I would probably not go back because there was only one or two items that were of interest. The presentation is very nice and I guess that is what you pay for. It was not really a WOW factor.
The food was very tasty. Making reservations was fast and easy online!
we were seated in the dining area on the right side of the restaurant.Not my favourite side.
My boyfriend and I went for Saturday brunch and it was incredible! The service was exemplary and the food was outstanding, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a romantic brunch in the spring or summer. When we went the weather was beautiful and the patio was perfect!!
We return again and again ...the food is excellent and the service is always very good...our server, she had a good knowledge of the food items, willing to take the time explaining suggestions,
We had a great time at River House Grill! The food was very well prepared and balanced ! Great meal selection! We were a group of 6 and there was a choice for everyone's taste.
We had never been to River House before, but lucked out into a last-minute reservation for Father's Day brunch. The staff was friendly and professional, yet maintained a very personable sense of humour. Service was impeccable and the food delicious. We plan to return.
My sister and I took our dad here for Father's Day brunch and it was delicious. Couldn't have asked for the eggs to be cooked better, the smoky jalapeno hollandaise was a perfect match for the crab cake bennie and the sausages were to die for. Even the coffee was perfect. And I am a picky restaurant critic, so it's wonderful to just say that somewhere I ate is a gem! Cute, cozy, romantic, and everything. Highly recommend!
The food and the service were outstanding. I will make it a point to come to try the Sunday brunch!
Food was awesome. Highly recommend. Really good chef and team in the kitchen.
Went to The River House in St. Albert. The food was wonderful, expertly presented and full of exciting flavors. A very intimate dining experience for those that want to get away from the usual chain restaurants. Service was great best meal we've had since arriving in Edmonton. Highly recommended.
We had not been to the Riverhouse in years. It was great. All the meals in our group were excellent. The Chef even took the time to bring to the table some of the interesting tools used in his kitchen when we asked a couple of questions about the prep. Awesome.
We came in for lunch. Excellent service food and location. We felt the prices were high for the amount served not that we were expecting a plate full but it did seem very small. We had the smoked salmon sandwich and the beet salad and wished that the server had perhaps explained that this wasn't enough to make a meal. The restaurant was pretty well empty which is too bad it's lovely. I would recommend to a friend but as somewhere to go on special occasions.
I was excited to try this place & I wasn't that impressed overall. The restaurant wasn't busy but we had to wait excessively to be seated. When we were seated in the mostly empty place she sat us right outside the noisy kitchen door. When it was time to order they were out of the entree I wished to order. The food was good the service after being seated good but nothing special. I would like to try it again& hope for a better experience.
We were there for a birthday brunch with my family and was very happy with the service and food was excellent.
I go for the food, but the presentation on the plate, the polite service, the soft music allowing for easy conversation, convenient parking, comfortable seating.....the whole package. After the meal you feel you have had a real treat.
The atmosphere is very inviting. Beautiful building and decor.
Beautiful start to the day. We sat on the veranda overlooking an amazing view. Was like we were in the countryside. The wait staff was very friendly and the service was great. The food was absolutely wonderful. There is absolutely no question about it - we'll be back.
This was our first time to the restaurant, although we have been trying for years to get out there. The food was awesome! We had the eggs bennie and wow...very good. The service was fantastic. We sat on the balcony because it was a beautiful morning. The balcony is intimate and perfect for groups or couples. It is cozy and perfect for a Sunday breakfast. We will be going again but next time, we will bring friends.
We've been going to The Riverhouse for almost 6 years and we never leave disappointed. The service is wonderful...the staff is friendly and accommodating and go out of their way to make you comfortable. After Willie sold and the menu changed we were unsure what to expect...but it continues to be fabulous. Our favorite 'Special Occasion' restaurant hands down!
was not disappointed, food and service excellent . flowers that were ordered earlier arrived and arrived on the table. One note of concern I had asked to located in a quiet location. We found ourselves next to a large family even though the place was not busy. Waiter very professional and attentive, did not hover - or break into conversation
Great experience from the ability to book the reservations on line to the last crumb of dessert. The service was excellent and the food was beautifully presented, very tasty and generous portions. Excellent value and I look forward to our next visit.
I've been living in St. Albert for over 10 years now and I'm surprised that I continue to have new and wonderful dining experiences. "How could I have missed out on this amazing restaurant all of these years?" I said to my Mom as we enjoyed our scrumptious brunch on the veranda of the River House Grill. She's from out of town and I love to show her a nice time when she comes to visit. "This time" she said, "you've outdone yourself!" Little does she know, the bill did not reflect this at all. Considering the top notch experience we had in food, scenery, service and general ambience, this was a very reasonable price tag. I can't wait to go back!
My husband and I enjoyed a very tasty, relaxing meal in celebration of your wedding anniversary. The beef short ribs was so tender you didn't need a knife, and the soup of the day (cauliflower/white chocolate) was delicious. The desserts were decadent...try the cheesecake!
I always enjoy going to the River House in St. Albert. It is a favourite spot that I always recommend when meeting my friends for a relaxing brunch, lunch or dinner. My son and his girlfried go there for romantic evenings and I have also gone there for dinner with my family. The food is exceptional, the service outstanding and the ambience is great.
I've been to this restaurant couple of times already and keep coming back. The price of the food is a little bit high but you get what you paid for. I would recommend to try their prime rib steak because it was the best, so tasty and flavourful. Try the chocolate lava cake as well very delicious. I would recommend River House to all my family and friends because of their exceptional food and service!
The service was fantastic, the food was great, especially the butternut squash soup. It reminded us of Europe as the Chef came out and introduced himself. The main dining room was under renovation and we look forward to dining here again when they are complete.
four of us went at 5:00 on a Sunday and were thoroughly impressed with the new menu. the appetizers were very enjoyable and the entrees were certainly beautifully presented and delicious as well as a full 8 oz protein portion. Our server was fantastic. The garden vegetable appetizer was a work of art.
Had the chance to have lunch at the River House. The restaurant side is currently under renovations, and is expected to open on Nov 8th. Dining was moved across the hall to their beautiful Wine Bar. The food, service, and ambiance were excellent! Can't wait to go back, and definitely want to try out their Sunday Brunch too.
The main restaurant was being renovated. Dinner was being served in the wine bar. The room was more than adequate. The staff were friendly and professional. The meal was very good, we started with crab cakes and the squash soup. For the mains we had chicken and short rib. Desert we cheese cake and custard. The experience was great. The value for the cost were acceptable. This was the first time we had been at this restaurant and we enjoyed the experience, we were celebrating a birthday. Definetly going to be adding this to our list of go to restaurants.
We have been to River House on a few occasions for brunch and always enjoy the food, service and ambiance. A definite gem!
It started with the beautiful Christmas lights & wreaths as you come up to the door. Inside the restaurant you are greeted with a warm fire along the wall and welcomed by the host. Our server was well versed in the menu items & wine list and was always prompt in making sure we were all taken care of. We all were very pleased with our tasty selections and thoroughly enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere.Truly a gem of a restaurant in St. Albert.
My husband and I don't get to go out without the kids very often but when we do we like to go to the river house because we know we will not be disappointed! Always delicious!
Took my girlfriend to the RiverHouse for her birthday and was very impressed with the quality of food, the staff was fantastic i also ordered flowers for the table to be there we showed up early and they were waiting for us
I thoroughly enjoyed the Skuna Bay salmon and the fact that the host knew the intricacies of how it was raised and handled. Bravo. The only negative was the sitting at the booth was very tight (and we are slim people!). We will select chairs/table for a more comfortable evening in the future.
Thank you Riverhouse for a wonderful evening. As always, service, food, and the wine was impeccable. We've been coming here for many years now and we've never left disappointed.
When choosing a restaurant for a night out with friends who are new to the area, we chose the River House. The food is always great. The menu is lovely with choices that are always fresh and interesting. The service remains impecable and there is a quiet ambiance that is inviting to talk and enjoy the company of friends. On this occasion we had a last minute change in number of guests. The restaurant was very accomodating.
We only were there for brunch on a Sunday and the food was excellent and the great presentation added to our enjoyment. Service was a bit slow even though the place was only half full.
Very proud to be a St. Albertan with the quality of food at Riverhouse. Bravo! Not an extensive lunch menu, but no need as you can find something you like easily and the food is made with the utmost quality ingredients. Friendly staff and lovely renovations! Will defiinitely go back regularly!
Our meals were excellent and the service was very good. A lovely restaurant for any special occasion.
Totally revamped the River House and it looks great. More of an upscale look, less "homey", and this makes it a perfect place for a special dinner out. Great service, and the food, as usual, was outstanding. I love the smoke-infused olives appetizer, and the tenderloin makes this vegetarian fall of the wagon whenever I go there.

In an election that only has four candidates vying for three open seats, the Secaucus school board race has been hotly contested. Two incumbents, Thomas Troyer and Gary Riebesell, face reelection after serving during three years filled with conflict between the local teachers' union and Superintendent of Schools Cynthia Randina.
While former union president Robert Anderson is running for the first time, he is not a newcomer to education. He has come out strongly against Randina and said that he will not renew her contract when it is up in October if elected to the board. Newcomer Kelli D'Addetta enters the fray with four years of experience as the Clarendon Parent Teachers Association president and two years as vice president.
Four candidates compete for three seats in the local school board election in Secaucus.
On April 17, voters will be able to approve or reject the school budget in addition to voting for new board members. Polls will be open from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Incumbent Charles Krajewski chose not to seek office again.
Question of leadership
An issue at the heart of the school board election is whether voters will support any candidate that supports Randina's leadership and the changes she has brought about to the school district since her appointment in 2008.
Her management choices were questioned from the outset in regard to hiring decisions, spending, and allocation of resources. Despite elevated SAT scores, technological enhancements, and leadership on anti-bullying programs, Randina has remained a target of criticism. Her most vocal opposition has come from Anderson, who has repeatedly questioned her decisions and most recently led the second vote of 'no confidence' in her leadership in two years' time. Now retired, Anderson taught locally for 33 years, coached basketball, and has a daughter who is a freshman in high school.
He presented the school board with a list of 27 issues in January that the union said led to a hostile working environment. The school board has since met privately with the union representatives and Randina to address the issues. Randina has said publicly that the union undermined the school board by failing to adhere to process and procedure as it pertains to grievances.
"The leadership is supposed to lead. The leadership has been atrocious," said Anderson. "She has divided the school district since she has been here." He said that Randina often doesn't tell the truth and constantly makes up excuses.
Troyer stands at the opposite end of the spectrum on this issue as a staunch supporter of Randina. "She wants the best; that is what I want," said Troyer. A retired widower, Troyer has two adult sons. He has served five three-year terms on the school board. An educator for 45 years, most of that time in Union City, he is running on a platform to "keep politics out of education."
"She has leadership skills that are unbelievable," noted Troyer. He said that Randina held people accountable and tackled wrongdoing in the school system.
"She cleaned up decades of things that were wrong in the making."
The teacher quotient
"We have never had these issues before," said Kelli D'Addetta. A resident of 35 years, she grew up in the local school system. A stay-at-home mom, D'Addetta has three children, two boys in elementary school and a three-year-old daughter.
"Teachers are not happy…the superintendent and the teachers can't seem to get on the same page." While D'Addetta said that she did not agree with a number of external hires Randina made over internal candidates she said that she does not have any personal issues with her.
She said that since she hasn't been on the board and had the opportunity to have an inside look at Randina's work, she didn't think it would be fair to take a position on whether or not to renew the superintendent's contract.
Gary Riebesell would not comment on Randina. He said it was a personnel matter, but noted that she is working to better the relationship with the union. A resident since 1994, he has a daughter in high school, has served as a volunteer firefighter for the last 16 years, and is a captain with Engine Company 1. He also coached girls' softball, basketball, and soccer.
Budget, classroom size, and textbooks
Troyer and D'Addetta support the budget. Riebesell was not available to comment on the budget, and Anderson said the paperwork is "all faulty."
"She claims she has saved money but she has lost tons of educational experience," said Anderson in reference to resignations and hiring decisions. He also said that he would reevaluate professional contracts.
Classroom size came up among D'Addetta, Riebesell, and Anderson. All three agreed that the classroom size had reached capacity. Anderson said that 25 students per classroom was unacceptable. D'Addetta and Riebesell supported expanding the middle school to create more space.
"There are not enough textbooks to go around," said D'Addetta. "Some of the children are sharing books and not able to bring textbooks home to study."
Campaign heat is on
Troyer has faced considerable opposition from Mayor Michael Gonnelli, who has come out in support of the other three candidates. Others like Tom Roarty said that Troyer was charged with insubordination for failing to submit evidence of a Masters of Arts Degree in a letter to the editor printed in the Reporter last week.
"It was political assault," said Troyer regarding the incident. "They use it every time I run." Troyer said that when he went to resign from his teaching position because he planned to work in Union City, he was told he couldn't leave because he had falsified his credentials and he was asked to sign a document to agree to the claims, which he refused to do. He said that he did believe he had a Master's because he had 32 credits from Seton Hall, which were considered a Masters equivalency. Troyer said the 32 credits were part of a certification process that was recognized by the Union City school district.
Liboro Marrotta, Troyer's lawyer, told the Reporter that Troyer reached a settlement with the school district and was essentially cleared of the charges.
"I didn't try to mask these things," said Troyer. "They've had all my credentials."
Accountability, children, quality, and honesty
"You destroy education when you put politics in education," said Troyer, who wants to hold the mayor and town council accountable and keep political influence out of the school district.
"Things have gotten so far away from the focus on the children," said D'Addetta, a proponent of finding ways for everyone to work together.
"We need to make sure that our quality of education does not get diluted," said Riebesell.
"You may not like my style but you will hear the truth," said Anderson.
The four candidates represent distinct backgrounds and bring various sets of skills to the table. Troyer is pushing to keep politically-driven appointments or influence out of the school district; Anderson is a proponent of greater transparency at the administrative level; Riebesell advocates for quality education; and D'Addetta promotes a return to focusing on children and educators. On April 17, voters will have to decide their top three priority issues and top three candidates.

Hayes Meats & Gourmet Foods' epicurean grocers, in business since 1957 and winners of a 2012 Business Champion of the Year Award from the Business Resource Council of the Cocoa Beach Regional Chamber of Commerce, cull a wide selection of premium meats and eats from around the world. A selection of deli goods that includes gourmet salads and desserts elates incisors more easily than the wand of the Tooth Fairy. Customers can chomp on toothsome ensandwiched fare such as a Reuben loaded with corned beef, swiss cheese, and sauerkraut, and surround sandwiches with an entourage of zesty coleslaw, fresh-fruit salad, and other sides. For heartier meals, diners can snag new york strip steaks, baby-back ribs, or slabs of prime rib precut into a variety of sizes, weights, and skyscraper prototypes. To fuel family gatherings and holiday-morning food fights, the shop also dispenses a slew of plattered fixings and appetizers.
Rusty's Seafood and Oyster Bar occupies a nautical-themed waterfront house, with life preservers hung from the ceiling and fishing trawlers right outside, reflecting a menu full of shellfish, fresh fish, and other fruits of the sea. Expert oyster shuckers sling raw or steamed bivalves by the platter ($9.25) or bucket ($31.99), accompanying them with a range of raw bar accouterments. Jumbo lump crab au gratin ($10.99) bakes sweet chunks of crab meat with four cheeses, served stuffed inside a hot sourdough loaf. The eatery's signature encrusted mahi mahi ($18.25), a savory slab of fresh fish baked in a secret blend of spices, pairs well with a salad ($5.99–$11.99). Customers who visit on Backward Day can start with homemade key-lime pie ($5.99), a sweet-tart treat piled with pillowy meringue.
Cattle, poultry, and rabbits mingle in the hay. Bakers stand proudly over their pies and cakes at display tables. Clown troupes tumble on a stage, and a 15-pound sweet potato lounges in the shade. The senses, nearly overwhelmed, dart from one place to the next at the Brevard County Fair in Wickham Park. The clamoring park seems to swell and fade from inside the whirring carts of roller coasters and the seats of a Ferris wheel; the people shrink until they look like tallish ants dressed up as people. The crowd flows to watch displays of skill at century-old 4-H events, traditional animal shows, archery tournaments, and other competitions. Adding twists of color alongside the tawny herds of livestock, recycled art and rain-barrel-painting exhibitions and displays of baked goods and preserves fill the air with the impressed chatter of judges, who are all professionals in their respective fields.Scents drift from a chili cook-off, where patrons purchase tasting tickets to sample dishes forged by local chefs and chili enthusiasts from fistfuls of spices and meats slow-cooked at a fire's family reunion. On most days fair-goers can take camel rides or witness the antics of a one-man band, dance troupes, and the No Joe's Clown Circus as they wander between the pavilion and main stage. Exhibits such as Milk Maker and There's a Cow in My Truck let hands softened by typing on silk keyboards all week experience some of the satisfying vigor of agricultural work. Appetites can be sated with fair fare such as fried candy bars, brisket and pulled pork, and philly-cheesesteak sandwiches.
When Dr. Noah Herbert landed an internship with a chiropractor as a student, he thought of it only as a steppingstone to his traditional medical license. His once-clear path took an unexpected turn, however, when he witnessed the healing powers of chiropractic therapy firsthand. Shortly after completing his internship, Dr. Herbert shifted his career aspirations.
His subsequent years of studying chiropractic have certainly paid off: he now helms a team of skilled health practitioners, including a licensed massage therapist, at Synergy Wellness Chiropractic. Beyond spinal adjustments and massages, Dr. Herbert and his staff coach clients toward healthier lives with corrective exercises and nutrition advice that emphasizes the importance of vegetables and super-soldier serum in a balanced diet.
Led by Brian Baker, a 22-year painting veteran, the contractors at Bravo Painting, Inc. give homes and residential spaces a bright, new gloss, and thus a reason to stop pinning For Sale signs on each other's backs. The contractors paint interiors and exteriors with equal parts professionalism and finesse, revitalizing faded colors and covering up blemishes to increase a building's aesthetic and resale value. The team also offers pressure washing and small drywall repairs as well as concrete and wood-staining services, which can vivify patios, garages, and pool decks.
Cavallari Gourmet stocks kitchens with high-quality ingredients and beverages while smoothing over the travails of shopping with exemplary customer service. The store carries a wide selection of foodstuffs including an in-house line of sauces and toppings made with carefully vetted ingredients that—like releasing a wolverine in the dining room—add extra zest and excitement to every meal. Those whose hunger cannot be contained can fill their bellies as they shop, munching on a variety of gourmet sandwiches made fresh in-store, including the Cavallari Italian plied with Boar's Head ham, genoa salami, and hot cappy ($8.49), or the crab salad sub, chock full of toothsome, crustacean-flavored surimi ($7.99). Cavallari's large wine selection pairs vinous accompaniment with gourmet victuals. A spread of party platters provides preparation-free group nutrition, offering up a delectable variety of lunchmeats, veggies, and fruit. Most party platters are priced between $20 and $50 and feed 8 to 20 people, depending on size, appetite, and predilection for competitive eating.

Loading... Great Gatsby (original 1925; edition 2009)by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Work detailsThe Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (1925)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. Read 2013 as part of great novels project. I ended up hating this book. Its tragic and pointlessly so. It just goes in one long stupid circle. I did not enjoy the raved book, The Great Gatsby. I Did not get any sense of romance or The life style of Mr. Gatsby. I found this book simple but confusing at the same time. I was defiantly looking for more from F. Scott Fitzgerald when i picked up this book, and i let me now extraordinarily. I also didn't get the Jersey theme of partying and gambling with the rich. To summarize this book in one word it would be Disappointment. Sorry Fitzgerald... just not a touchdown for me. Newly acquired audiobook edition, read by Frank Mueller. I've read the book before, but I love all narrations by Frank Mueller. Update: I loved the story as always, although I find that my view of Gatsby changes as I age. He's getting less romantic and more creepy and pathetic. Frank Mueller's reading is fantastic as always. Worth reading more than once; a story about a naive racketeer who is really only trying to win back his lost love, but is destroyed by misplaced trust. This is a book full of great lines; "Almost any exhibition of complete self sufficiency draws a stunned tribute from me"; "Everyone suspects himself of at least one of the cardinal virtues...", "Americans, while occasionally willing to be serfs, have always been obstinate about being peasantry", and "Her voice of is full of money", said about the object of Gatsby's love. I've never read any reviews or commentary on this novel, so I don't know if my observations are commonplace, or banal.
I find Gatsby aesthetically overrated, psychologically vacant, and morally complacent; I think we kid ourselves about the lessons it contains. None of this would matter much to me if Gatsby were not also sacrosanct. There is the convoluted moral logic, simultaneously Romantic and Machiavellian, by which the most epically crooked character in the book is the one we are commanded to admire. There's the command itself: the controlling need to tell us what to think, both in and about the book. There's the blanket embrace of that great American delusion by which wealth, poverty, and class itself stem from private virtue and vice. There's Fitzgerald's unthinking commitment to a gender order so archaic as to be Premodern: corrupt woman occasioning the fall of man. There is, relatedly, the travesty of his female characters—single parenthesis every one, thoughtless and thin. (Don't talk to me about the standards of his time; the man hell-bent on being the voice of his generation was a contemporary of Dorothy Parker, Gertrude Stein, and Virginia Woolf, not to mention the great groundswell of activists who achieved the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment. Yet here he is in A Short Autobiography: "Women learn best not from books or from their own dreams but from reality and from contact with first-class men.") It is an impressive accomplishment. And yet, apart from the restrained, intelligent, beautifully constructed opening pages and a few stray passages thereafter—a melancholy twilight walk in Manhattan; some billowing curtains settling into place at the closing of a drawing-room door—Gatsby as a literary creation leaves me cold. Like one of those manicured European parks patrolled on all sides by officious gendarmes, it is pleasant to look at, but you will not find any people inside. Indeed, The Great Gatsby is less involved with human emotion than any book of comparable fame I can think of. None of its characters are likable. None of them are even dislikable, though nearly all of them are despicable. They function here only as types, walking through the pages of the book like kids in a school play who wear sashes telling the audience what they represent: OLD MONEY, THE AMERICAN DREAM, ORGANIZED CRIME. Still the brightest boy in the class, Scott Fitzgerald holds up his hand. It is noticed that his literary trousers are longer, less bell-bottomed, but still precious. "Fantastic proof that chivalry, of a sort, is not dead." A curious book, a mystical, glamourous story of today. It takes a deeper cut at life than hitherto has been enjoyed by Mr. Fitzgerald. He writes well-he always has-for he writes naturally, and his sense of form is becoming perfected. Is contained inThe "Great Gatsby" and "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz" (Collector's Library) by F.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0743273567, Paperback)In 1922, F. Scott Fitzgerald announced his decision to write "something new--something extraordinary and beautiful and simple + intricately patterned." That extraordinary, beautiful, intricately patterned, and above all, simple novel became The Great Gatsby, arguably Fitzgerald's finest work and certainly the book for which he is best known. A portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, Gatsby captured the spirit of the author's generation and earned itself a permanent place in American mythology. Self-made, self-invented millionaire Jay Gatsby embodies some of Fitzgerald's--and his country's--most abiding obsessions: money, ambition, greed, and the promise of new beginnings. "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning--" Gatsby's rise to glory and eventual fall from grace becomes a kind of cautionary tale about the American Dream.It's also a love story, of sorts, the narrative of Gatsby's quixotic passion for Daisy Buchanan. The pair meet five years before the novel begins, when Daisy is a legendary young Louisville beauty and Gatsby an impoverished officer. They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overseas, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying, but extremely rich Tom Buchanan. After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wealth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing. "Her voice is full of money," Gatsby says admiringly, in one of the novel's more famous descriptions. His millions made, Gatsby buys a mansion across Long Island Sound from Daisy's patrician East Egg address, throws lavish parties, and waits for her to appear. When she does, events unfold with all the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama, with detached, cynical neighbor Nick Carraway acting as chorus throughout. Spare, elegantly plotted, and written in crystalline prose, The Great Gatsby is as perfectly satisfying as the best kind of poem. (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:54:18 -0400) Jay Gatsby had once loved beautiful, spoiled Daisy Buchanan, then lost her to a rich boy. Now, mysteriously wealthy, he is ready to risk everything to woo her back. This is the definitive, textually accurate edition of a classic of twentieth-century literature, The Great Gatsby. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan has been acclaimed by generations of readers. But the first edition contained a number of errors resulting from Fitzgerald's extensive revisions and a rushed production schedule.… (more) (summary from another edition) |

Hello everyone! I am Impossiperiod. I am an RPer who has been RPing in both forums and in-game for near half a year now. I enjoy roleplaying in medieval settings with the heavy interest in fantasy and magical lands. Despite being a male most of my character's are female because I find the image of a strong, female embodiment to be highly iconic and it relates to being constantly exposed to strong women in my life. My mother is one of the strongest women I know so, I try to build my character's around that core whilst bulking out with my own creativity.
Thank you for taking the time to read it this! I hope to see you all around.
