- Samuel Langhome Clemons was an American author and humorist. He is well-known for many literary works, but what is often regarded as his masterpiece and certainly his most controversial work is a story detailing a journey down the Mississippi by a runaway slave named Jim and a boy who is trying to get away from his father and from all “sivilizing” influences. The time is the 1840s, about fifteen years before the Civil War. What was Mr. Clemons’ pen name?

3. In Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, the green light on the dock
across the bay is a significant symbol within the book. Fitzgerald
writes, “…he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a
curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could have sworn he
was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward – and
distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away…”
What does the green light represent to Gatsby?
