Haris' English Journal

The Great Gatsby

Even after 5 years his love remained. “You can’t re-live the past” .

Haris personally relates to the idea that you can’t regain your past, which seems only to be something you can learn in retrospect.

The theme of regret flows through both texts as Hamlet is also burdened by the self-condemnation he feels for his own inaction related to the murder of his father.

What I recommend, Haris, is that you quote extensively from the texts themselves. You’ll find that by referring to the texts and using the author’s words, your ideas will be much more strongly developed and your presentation will have ring of authority.
