Can someone help me put this essay in MLA format? I'll give you 25 points more. For this topic, I chose option A: in The Great Gatsby, “what does F. Scott Fitzgerald suggest about the state of the American Dream, the people who pursue it, and the impact of that pursuit through his depiction of Jay Gatsby and the people in Gatsby’s life?”

In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald says that “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness” is what makes up the American dream. Although he also says it was always an illusion, how it has become increasingly tarnished and out of reach. His story focuses on the rich, he includes stories of people like Klipspringer and the Wilsons, who do not have any access to the American dream. The Great Gatsby takes place in the twenties, narrated by a young man named Nick Caraway, also known as daisy’s cousin. Throughout the book we learn how Gatsby: Nick’s neighbor and a few other characters strive to achieve the American dream.
The Great Gatsby’s characters imbody the American dream as Nick describes them. In the quote “It passed, and he began to talk excitedly to Daisy, denying everything, defending his name against accusations that had not been made. But with every word she was drawing further and further into herself, so he gave that up and only the dead dream fought on as the afternoon slipped away, trying to touch what was no longer tangible, struggling unhappily, undespairingly, toward that lost voice across the room” we learn how Daisy’s husband, tom is unfaithful and unhappy and daisy knows it. Daisy stays with tom despite knowing he’s cheating on her, Gatspy is also pursuing the american dream but as stated in the novel it never came true, his dream is to be with daisy, in the quote “I thought of Gatsby's wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy's dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it” you realize Gatsby’s dream to be with daisy is nearly impossible as it was far out of his reach.

The characters in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby seek the American Dream, unfortunately they don’t all achieve what they are wishing and working for. The characters that already have the life of the American Dream are unhappy with it. In the book, we read about the characters Tom and his wife Daisy and their lives. “Her husband, among various physical accomplishments, had been one of the most powerful ends that ever-played football at New Haven—a national figure in a way, one of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anti-climax. His family were enormously wealthy—even in college his freedom with money was a matter for reproach.”. They are living the American dream, they have everything they could ever need or want, but they are very unhappy in their relationship, Daisy loves a man named Gatsby while being married to Tom and Tom is constantly cheating on Daisy with another mistress. Daisy’s dream is not accomplished with just wealth and fame, but it is also about keeping up a high status, Daisy tries to maintain her good reputation by staying with her husband, Tom, despite him cheating on her. Despite cheating Tom still loves Daisy and tries to stay with her.

The requirements of an MLA format is:

Overall page layout

One inch margins on sides, top and bottom.

Use Times or Times New Roman 12 pt font.

Double-space the text of the paper.

Use left-justified text, which will have a ragged right edge. Do not use fully (newspaper-style) justified text.

Indent the first word of each paragraph 1/2".

Indent block quotes 1".

In Works Cited lists, use a 1/2" indent for all lines after the first line of each source ("hanging indent").

Number the pages in the top right corner of the paper's header area, beginning with the first page of text. Type your last name before each page number. Number straight through from the first text page to the final Works Cited page but do not count any pages after the end of the text as part of your page count.

Ask your teacher if it is ok to print two-sided.

Heading and title

An MLA-style research paper does not include a cover page, unless your teacher specifically asks for it.

In the upper left corner of the first page (but not in the header space) type the following information: your name, the teacher's name, the course title and block, the date. Use a separate double-spaced line for each piece of information (four lines).

Double space again, and center the title. Do not try to make your title decorative by using bold, underline, or creative fonts.

Double space again before beginning the text of your paper.

Names and numbers

Use full names of people and agencies/legislation the first time you use them. For agencies, include the acronym in parentheses after the full name when first used, for example, Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA).

After the first time you can refer to people by their last name or agencies by their acronyms for the rest of the paper.

Spell out numbers written in one or two words (two, forty-five, fifteen hundred) and use numbers for all others (2 1/2, 161). You should never begin a sentence with a number however.

Parenthetical references

In-text citation should be placed at the end of the sentence and inside the final punctuation.

If a work is alphabetized by title in the Works Cited (i.e. it has no author), it is ok to use just the first word or two of the title in the parenthetical reference (MLA Handbook 55-56).

If the author is mentioned in the sentence, the parenthetical reference will only contain the page number.

Works Cited

Your Works Cited should begin on a separate page following the final page of written text.

Center the words Works Cited at the top of the page, Use Times/Times New Roman 12 pt font. Do not use bold, underline, or large size font for the heading.

Be sure to use proper formatting - double-space and alphabetize properly.

Use a "hanging indent" - the first line of the citation begins at the margin, subsequent lines are indented.

If your source has no author, alphabetize by title within the authors - don't make a separate list.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
