Describe the plot of the first chapter of the great gatsby. In your description, include how the setting affects the plot. Use examples from the text to support your description

Answers

Explanation:

The first chapter started with Nick's return from the East Egg. Nick had recalled what happened during his stay in the East Egg. It all started after he left the military. He decided to move to the West Egg to and worked as a bond salesman.  The first chapter talked about his upbringing and his longing for an adventure. He had met Jay Gatsby. He was awed of how Gatsby was able to attain his dream and showed him that he too, can achieve his.

Sample Answer:

Nick Carraway, a war veteran from a rich Midwestern family, moves to New York to work in the bond business. There, he becomes reacquainted with his cousin Daisy and her wealthy husband, Tom. Their marriage is damaged by Tom’s affair. Nick is aware of a not-so-subtle difference between West Egg, where he lives, and East Egg, where Daisy and Tom live. The difference, which seems to be related to the cultural and social scene of the 1920s, foreshadows a conflict between the types of people who live on each “egg.”

Explore in what ways the novel, James and the Giant Peach teaches you about the importance of hope in life. Give reasons for your answer and support your argument by highlighting two incidents from the text.

Answers

The first moment that we can see the importance of hope in life, is when we know that James' parents died and that he will live with his aunts in a very bad situation, because his aunts hate him and do not allow him to have fun or have friends. This is a very sad situation where there is no way out, it is at this moment that the hope of finding better days is more important, because in extremely difficult situations, only hope in life can alleviate our suffering.

A second moment that shows the importance of hope in life is when James manages to make friends with the most unusual beings possible, the insects, which through the hope of James being able to travel, have fun and get rid of his aunts, take him to incredible adventures.

I was only twelve. The gymnasium seemed so big, but this time it did not intimidate me. This one as well as others had intimidated me for weeks, but now I had conquered them. It had been my very first time competing in a volleyball tournament for my school, and we had won. All the nervousness and anxiety, all that yelling from the coach and teammates had been worth it. We lined up, side by side, facing the seats. My mother and younger brother were there, smiling, happy to see me happy. My mother had made a point of driving me to every single game and watching them to the very end. Somehow, it felt as if the medal I was about to receive was hers as much as it was mine.

All of a sudden, her presence was made even more important. Someone had the idea of inviting the parents onto the court to place the medals around our eager necks. No one else’s parents were there; at least for my team. I was sorry for them, but there she came. She was now everyone’s mother, giving each of my teammates their respective medals and a congratulatory hug. We were all her children for a moment, and sharing my mother had never made me happier.

Answer:

That is a complex sentence.

A complex sentence has one independent clause and one or more dependent clause.

'After we saw the movie' is a dependent clause.

'..we went to the coffee shop.' is a independent clause.

Thus, this is a complex sentence.

A compound sentence has two or more independent clauses. This only has one independent clause.

A simple sentence only has one independent clause.

A run-on sentence has two or more independent clauses that are not joined together correctly.

Which best states the author’s purpose for including this quote in the text? to persuade the reader that strike was not a good idea for the workers to give the reader the facts about when and where the strike took place to tell the reader what the police felt and saw when the strike began to help the reader feel the excitement and unity of the striking workers

Answers

Answer: Its D :)

Explanation:

I just did the unit test.

The statement that best states the author’s purpose for including this quote in the text is to help the reader feel the excitement and unity of the striking workers. Therefore option D is the correct response.

What is a Strike?

A work stoppage brought on by a widespread employee refusal to perform their duties is known as a strike action, also known as a labor strike, labor strike, or simply a strike. Typically, a strike is a response to employee complaints.

According to Article 19 of the Indian Constitution, the freedom to protest is a basic right in that country. However, the right to strike is a legal one, not a fundamental one, and the Industrial Dispute Act of 1947 attaches statutory limitations to this right.

The past tense of "strike" is often "struck." The exclusions include being guilty, having a stroke of bad luck, getting hurt, or getting sick, as well as the ability to strike out a paragraph in a document. Use "struck" the rest of the time. This regulation does not appear to be binding.

"You have heard then, comrades," he said, "that we pigs now sleep in the beds of the farmhouse? And why not? You did not suppose, surely, that there was ever a ruling against beds? A bed merely means a place to sleep in. A pile of straw in a stall is a bed, properly regarded. The rule was against sheets, which are a human invention. We have removed the sheets from the farmhouse beds, and sleep between blankets. And very comfortable beds they are too! But not more comfortable than we need, I can tell you, comrades, with all the brainwork we have to do nowadays. You would not rob us of our repose, would you, comrades? You would not have us too tired to carry out our duties? Surely none of you wishes to see Jones back?"

What is the passage from Animal Farm?

The passage from Animal Farm shows how the pigs, who have assumed the role of the ruling class, manipulate language and use propaganda to justify their actions and privilege. They use a rhetorical device known as "doublespeak," where they manipulate language to make something that is not acceptable seem acceptable. For instance, the pigs justified sleeping in the beds of the farmhouse by arguing that the rule was against sheets and not the beds themselves.

Which phrase from the passage is a metaphor? “putting your spoon in” “broke into an adult conversation” “you paid attention” “what was expected”

Answers

Answer:

“putting your spoon in”

"Putting your spoon in" phrase from the passage is a metaphor for the passage “putting your spoon in” “breaking into an adult conversation” “you paid attention” and “what was expected”.

What makes a good metaphor?

A powerful metaphor transforms the ordinary or commonplace into something radically different but eerily like. It paints a stunningly clear image or offers a startling new perspective. A poor metaphor fails to draw a resemblance, offer a novel perspective, or both. The element of surprise is crucial to a powerful metaphor.

A metaphor uses a brief comparison to add emphasis without offering a complete explanation. The listener or reader is free to create the metaphor in his own mind. Therefore, a comparison may go like this: "A captain is to his ship what a coach is to his team." "A coach is the commander of his ship," the metaphor would say.

Thus, The metaphorical phrase "putting your spoon in" appears in the chapter.

Which examples of situational irony does Saki use to create satire? Select two options.

Bertha hopes that she will not be eaten by the wolf, but she is.

The wolf comes to the park to eat pigs but eats Bertha instead.

The children do not think that they are going to like the story, but they do.

The aunt wants the bachelor to learn his lesson, but she learns hers instead.

Bertha thinks that it is good to win medals for goodness, but the medals get her killed.

Answers

Answer:

I believe the examples that create satire through situational irony are:

D) The aunt wants the bachelor to learn his lesson, but she learns hers instead.  

E) Bertha thinks that it is good to win medals for goodness, but the medals get her killed.

Explanation:

In literature, situational irony takes place when we are led to believe something will take place, but something else that's completely different is the result. It is a plot twist in which a character's actions are twisted into the opposite.

Among the options provided, there are two that represent situational irony in Saki's "The Storyteller". First, there is the aunt's intent to teach the bachelor a lesson. The aunt failed miserably at telling her nieces and nephew a story that was both entertaining and educative. When the bachelor criticizes her, she defies him by asking him to do a better job at telling the children a story. To her surprise and disappointment, he is successful. The children love his story. When the aunt criticizes the lack of moral lessons in it, the bachelor reveals he never intended to teach the kids anything. He just wanted them to be quiet for ten minutes.

Another situational irony concerns Bertha, the character in the bachelor's story, getting killed because of the medals. Bertha believed those medals were precious trophies of her impeccable behavior and goodness. They should, therefore, be a type of reward, something that would make her life better. Instead, their clanking noise is what attracts the wolf and reveals her hiding place.

As we can see, both the aunt's and Bertha's intents were twisted into their opposite, characterizing situational irony.

Situational irony is the type of irony in which the outcome of the action is opposite from the situation. The result of the situation is entirely different from what is expected.  

The examples of situational irony that Saki used to create satire are:

D) The aunt wants the bachelor to learn his lesson, but she learns hers instead.  

E) Bertha thinks that it is good to win medals for goodness, but the medals get her killed.

In the story "The Storyteller", the stranger tells the story to the children. His story builds interest in the mind of the children. The aunt thought that the stranger's story will not be accepted by the children and that he will understand by himself. But she later understands herself that children have enjoyed the story.  

An another example of situational irony is the death of Bertha. Her medals became the reason of her death.
