“Ambition never comes to an end.”- Yoshida Kenko.

In The Silver Bear, by Derek Hass, ambition is the main theme

of the story.

In this novel, protagontists Columbus and Vito struggle for

money cause of debts and needs. Were their are not the only

CONNECTION WITH

TGG

• money is the main conflict of both stories.

• That being obsessed with money leads

them to their death and series of

problems.

• Great Gatsby and Silver Bear have in

common is that because of the drug

selling they get into problems.

• Gatsby main purpose for getting all his

money is to make that Daisy loves him.

While in Silve Bear its all about money.

RECOMMEND IT

YES!!

I preferely recommend it to men because is not a book that

most women would read because of its offensive languange

towards women.
