The Financier
I chose to read a novel 'The Financier'
written by Theodore Dreiser. Honestly, I had a choice to make: to read
Martin Eden (the book which I had already read in Russian) or to read the
Financier which was completely new book to me. I decided to give it a go
and start reading the Financier. It's important to mention that I enjoy
reading such books as they encourage their readers to act like the main
characters, to achieve their own success through constant struggles and
adversities.
The book cover doesn't contain a lot of
info about the plot. It only briefly tells a reader about the author(1). 'The
Financier' is based on real-life of streetcar tycoon whose real name
was Charles Yerkes. I reckon the main theme of the book is
competition or, to put it in another way, a financial war. It symbolizes
Frank's determination in gaining his goals and his desire to have an upper hand
over everyone competing with him. He wants total domination in streetcar
business. Because of the subtlety of his mind,Frank knew how to effectively
deal with finance and make money out of nothing since he was a teenager. It was
a child's play to Cowperwood to cope with lots of financial abstrusities, and he
already ran his own company by the age of 26.
I suppose my peers would find this book
interesting and engaging because it demonstrates to the audience that life
itself is a big and constant struggle. The main character shows us the importnace of not giving up when everything seems to be hopeless. Frank is the real
example(2)of a warrior who encourages everyone to get back on their feet after
setbacks.

As you can see, it was published back in December last year.
Please, remember to ADD REFERENCES TO YOUR POSTS! You do remember that without this information you are in danger of plagiarising, don't you?
The thing is I took the information from the Wikipedia, so it's not just an excerpt from a particular author, it's rather taken from the source that can be added by anyone. Thus, my question is: could you please tell me what I have to do in such cases?
