•the protagonist always has heroic reason to fight (to protect his people,to gain honor, riches, etc)
•an epic usually ends in tragedy
romance
•the main focus of the poem is not on the character but rather on the Adventure itself
•the protagonist in a romance is more static, usually concerned only of a single group, family, or class (ex:a knight of the round table)

Hello,
<span>Many high school English programs are not very good at getting students ready for college. My brother took easy courses at his high school, like flicks courses, sci-fi courses, you know. Well, he flunked out of English at college. My sister thought she was taking real hard courses at her high school, but she fell flat as a pancake at State U
I believed this is what you asked to do!</span><span />

Answer:
We could say that Gatsby created a picture of himself is an Oxford man.
One of the best evidences which determines Gatsby an Oxford man is a description from the book which refers to Jay Gatsby.
<em>"About Gatsby! No, I haven't. I said I'd been making a small investigation of his past."
</em>
<em>
"And you found he was an Oxford man," said Jordan helpfully.
</em>
<em>
"An Oxford man!" He was incredulous. "Like hell he is! He wears a pink suit.</em>
However, he isn't really an Oxford man. He tries to represent him like that in order to impress Daisy Buchanan and renew his relationship with her. With this status, he tries to include himself as a part of elite society, so that the members of the society could accept him as a rich intellectual. His attempts to be an Oxford man aren't convincing enough, so, despite all his efforts, we couldn't say he is a real example of an Oxford man.
