Canterbury Tales - Humour

... Nicholas, a clerk or scholar, from "The Miller's Tale" also has a ironic name. His name suggests St. Nicholas from plays about a mysterious guest at the home of evil hosts.

Great Gatsby

... his life. The way in which Gatsby made money was a despicable practice. Gatsby's bootlegging business made him millions.

On Happiness

... at first consider these factors. Wealth is important, according to mister Francis H., because it allows the satisfaction of one's basic needs. It seems to me that if it was true, the Ancients had no chance to be happy at all and we can not be happy as well, since in the time to come people will be even more wealthy than they are now (see later on the part of my essay "On Future") and able to better satisfy their needs. Well, I guess the notion of wealth is just relative. Same as basic needs which can cause even more trouble. What are bas ...
