Optional Assignment.

The writing that I choose to help improve my writing style the Twilight Saga novel. The reason that I really admire the writings is because the author is very smart on how to make it flow. When you write a four book collection you got to make sure it flows so it can sound good. Stephanie Meyer (author) I think can do a good job with that. Most of every sentence is there for reason; she has a purpose for everything. A point behind everything. For example in last novel of the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn, she specifically brings up a story about a coven of vampires, and which later they become very important characters that play a big role. I really think I can take this style of writing for my Media Saves the Beach writing to make it seem like everything I write help support my topic and cause. And also I can make my writing flow just like Stephanie Meyer's work. Everything in my writing needs to there for a reason, and connect to the next topic. Not talk about pollution at Imperial Beach one minute and the next about the T.J governor. I have read all four books and they have inspired me to read more and to be passionate about writing. And there others elements that I would like to take from her writing style and skills.

Gatsby is very similar to Nick in a sense that they both like to lie back, and not be part of the large crowd.When Gatsby throws the huge parties, he just goes to the bar and chooses whom to talk to. When Nick went to Tom's party, he felt out of place, he wanted to leave but Tom wouldn't let him. But one of the biggest differences between them is that Gatsby is rich, and Nick is not.
